You can use the AP Physics C: Electricity Question of the Day to get into the habit of thinking about Physics C: Electricity content on a daily basis when studying for the AP exam. Varsity Tutors' AP Physics C: Electricity Questions of the Day are drawn from each topic and question type covered on the AP Physics C: Electricity exam.
Question of the Day: AP Physics C Electricity
Resistors are one of the most important basic components of a circuit. With very few exceptions, all circuits have at least one kind of resistor component. An ammeter is a device that measures current flowing through a circuit. Ammeters are always connected to a circuit in series.
Which of the following accurately explains why ammeters must be connected in series within a circuit, and never in parallel?
An ammeter connected in parallel would not read any current because the current would have no driving force through the ammeter
An ammeter connected in parallel would give very low readings of current because current would be flowing through both the regular current path and the ammeter, but disproportionately through the regular path
An ammeter connected in parallel would give high readings of current because the current would be flowing through both the regular current path and the ammeter, but disproportionately through the ammeter
An ammeter connected in parallel would give the current flowing through the circuit a pathway with minimal resistance, creating a very large current that could harm the ammeter
An ammeter connected in parallel would give readings of half the current flowing through the circuit because current would flow evenly between the ammeter and the circuit's regular pathway
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is a college level, calculus-based high school course that is very valuable for students planning to pursue careers in physics research, engineering, or science. This class specifically covers topics involving conductors, circuits, electromagnetic fields, capacitors, and more, using integral calculus and differential equations to describe the forces at work. With the Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools, you can pick a variety of methods to study AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism. The Question of the Day is one of the best free daily test review tools, because there is a new question every single day of the week.
As an AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism student, you have dreams of your future as an engineer, solving computer or physics problems. You may be aiming for college credit, so you can focus on other, even more difficult subjects once you enter college. You may be hoping for an impressive high school transcript so you can get into a better college. Regardless, you are most likely concerned about the AP exam at the end of the semester. In order to avoid hours of studying at the last minute and still feeling unprepared, you should develop daily test practice habits, like answering the Question of the Day each day.
You can start answering the Questions of the Day as soon as you begin your class, or you can use them to review toward the end of the semester. These multiple-choice questions are timed, as well, which helps you figure out how long you take to answer questions and discover which areas of physics you understand very well, and which you need to spend more time studying. The timing feature also helps you answer questions in a minute or less, which is the ideal answering time to help you get through the 35 questions in the 45-minute-long, multiple-choice section of the AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism exam.
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism test review is very important, and you cannot wait until the last minute to begin studying for an important test. Using the Learning Tools Question of the Day, you will not only get used to answering unfamiliar questions on a regular basis, but you will also adjust to a testing environment that is timed, which can create added pressure. This pressure might shake a student who is unprepared, but when you use the Question of the Day, you learn to love this kind of fast-paced, multiple-choice test!
The Learning Tools free AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism practice tools such as the Question of the Day keep your brain working on the subject, so you can pass your exam with flying colors. You will not only be able to quickly and accurately answer multiple-choice questions, but by learning the calculus equations and physics vocabulary, you will be able to answer the free writing portions of the exam with ease as well. You can prove your points with mathematics and describe how you did it. The Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools Question of the Day will keep you on your toes.
