How do I create flashcards from my notes?

In Quiz Genius, you upload a photo of your notes, a PDF, or paste text. The AI analyzes your content and generates a complete set of flashcards in seconds. You can then edit, delete, or add cards before you start studying.

What is spaced repetition and how does Quiz Genius use it?

Spaced repetition is a study method that schedules reviews at increasing intervals. Quiz Genius tracks which flashcards you know and which you miss, then brings back weak cards sooner and pushes strong ones further out so you retain more with less time.

Can AI generate quizzes from my textbook or lecture slides?

Yes. Upload a photo, PDF, or text from any source and Quiz Genius generates multiple-choice, true/false, and written-answer questions automatically. You can run them as a practice quiz or a timed exam.

Quiz Genius is free to download and use on both iOS and Android. A premium subscription is available for additional features.

What platforms does Quiz Genius support?

Quiz Genius is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) from the App Store and on Android from Google Play. The app works offline once your study sets are downloaded.

How does exam mode work in Quiz Genius?

Exam mode lets you take a timed test from any study set. You answer questions under time pressure, then get a detailed score breakdown and a list of every question you missed so you know exactly what to review.

What is a parallel circuit?

A circuit where components are connected across common points, providing multiple paths for current.

Current in parallel circuits

Total current divides among the branches, with each branch carrying its own current.

True or false: In a parallel circuit, voltage is the same across all components.

True, because each component is directly connected to the power source.

Difference between series and parallel circuits

In series, components share the same current; in parallel, they share the same voltage.

Fill in the blank: In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, ________.

the other components continue to operate normally.

What happens to total resistance in a parallel circuit?

Total resistance decreases as more branches are added, calculated using $\displaystyle R_{total} = \\frac{1}{\sum \\frac{1}{R_i}}$ .

Characteristics of parallel circuits

- Each device gets full voltage - Total current is the sum of individual currents - Overall resistance is less than the smallest branch resistance

True or false: All components in a parallel circuit have the same current.

False, because current can vary depending on the resistance of each branch.

What does Kirchhoff's Current Law state?

The total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving the junction.

Calculate total current: 3 A, 4 A, and 5 A in parallel.

Total current = 3 A + 4 A + 5 A = 12 A.

What is the formula for total resistance?

$\displaystyle R_{total} = \\frac{1}{\sum \\frac{1}{R_i}}$ for resistors in parallel.

Advantages of parallel circuits

- Consistent voltage across devices - Individual components can be turned off without affecting others

Current division in parallel circuits

Current divides inversely to the resistance of each branch; lower resistance gets more current.

Fill in the blank: In a parallel circuit with two 10 Ω resistors, total resistance is ______.

$\displaystyle R_{total} = 5 Ω$ .

Which circuit is safer: series or parallel?

Parallel, because if one component fails, the others still function.

True or false: Adding more branches increases total resistance.

False, because total resistance decreases with more branches added.
