Pakistan International School (English Section)

Subject: Physics Grade: 7 answer key


Chapter 31: Circuits
Question 1)

a. Complete circuit. c. Conductors, free electrons.


b. Current that moves in one direction. d. Insulators.
e. Copper, aluminum, gold, silver. f. Glass, air, plastic, rubber, wood.
g. Resistance. i. Voltmeter, parallel.
h. Ammeter, series. j. Resistance, ohms.

Question 2) Question 3)
Electron Flow is what actually happens, Series
electrons flow out of the negative terminal, Total resistance = R1 + R2 + R3 + ….
through the circuit and into the positive Parallel
terminal of the source. 1 1 1 1
= 𝑅1 + 𝑅2 + 𝑅3 +….
Total Resistance
Conventional current is the flow of a
positive charge from positive to negative
and is the reverse of real electron flow.

Question 4) Draw the respective symbols

Lamp Battery/cell Switch

Ammeter Voltmeter Resistor

Rheostat Motor Wires


Connected Crossing

Question 5)
Series
- same amount of current flows through the circuit.
- different voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit
Parallel
- different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit.
- the same voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit

Question 6) It would turn off too, as a gap would be created in the circuit, not allowing
electrons to pass through.

Question 7)
a. I = V / R c. V = I x R e. R = V / I
I = 5 / 10 V = 2 X 10 R=1/5
I = 2A V = 20V R = 0.2 Ω
b. R = V / I d. I = V / R f. I = V / R
R = 3 / 15 I = 50 / 100 I = 2 / 10
R = 0.2 Ω I = 0.5A I = 0.2A

Question 8) List the four factors that affect resistance

1. As the length increases the resistance increases


2. As the cross-sectional area increases the resistance decreases
3. As the temperature increases the resistance increases
4. Varies with substance.

Question 9)

Question 10) Calculate the total resistances in the following circuits.

a. Total resistance = 10Ω


b. Total resistance = 19Ω
c. Total resistance = 3Ω
d. Total resistance = 5.32Ω
e. Total resistance = 10Ω
