In the context of the loop and junctions rules for electrical circuits a junction is:
A)where a wire is connected to a resistor
B)where a wire is connected to a battery
C)where only two wires are joined
D)where three or more wires are joined
E)where a wire is bent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A junction is where three or more wires are joined. This is important for applying the junction rule in circuit analysis. Choice A is incorrect because a wire can be connected to a resistor at any point along the wire, not just at a junction. Choice B is incorrect because a wire can be connected to a battery at any point along the wire, not just at a junction. Choice C is incorrect because two wires can be joined at any point along the wire, not just at a junction. Choice E is incorrect because a wire being bent does not necessarily indicate a junction.
