master_q 0 Posted July 12, 2003 {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 Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted July 18, 2003 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. Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
