{Official} Star Trek Trivia #143

Random Trivia – Trek Science

 

*******************

A battery is connected to two identical low-resistance bulbs (A & B ) in a series.

Diagram:

*******************

 

True / False:

 

Q1: Charge flows at the same rate through bulb A and B.

Q2: Bulb A uses up some moving charge, so less reaches bulb B.

Q3: When the circuit is connected, bulb A lights before bulb B.

Q4: A battery is needed to light the bulbs because it is the source of moving charge.

 

is a concept driven question so you don’t have to deal with math or anything to that nature.

Just think out each statement logically - if it does not sound correct, then it is false . . .

 

Answering: Send myself a private message (do not answer here!)

 

Points: 2 points for each correct

Answers:

 

Q1: True

Q2: False

Q3: False

Q4: False

 

Why?

 

Q1, Q2, & Q3 are generally the same concept so I can answer all of them easily:

When you connect that circuit you must first get a continuous conducting path before something lights. So before anything will go on we first need that CCP. It works as one.

 

 

Q4:

No, that’s way off.

Charge exists everywhere in the circuit. If you put anything in the circuit that was a non-conductor the circuit will not work. In every conductor charge exists. The battery provides energy not charge because charge exists everywhere in the actual circuit.
