Connecting the 8 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 72V 15A configuration. Connecting the 8 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 9V 120A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 4 batteries can be connected in series and 4 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 36V 60A configuration.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?
The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):
sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7)
sa = (98) + (98) + (98)
sa = 294
What kind of diode allows current to flow in the opposite direction once a certain voltage threshold is reached?
zener diode
A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction. A zener diode is a diode which allows current to flow in one direction as normal and will also allow current flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value. This value is called the breakdown voltage.
If a = 4, b = 2, c = 9, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?
Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:
p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 2 + 9 + 4
p = 19
What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \)?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{1 x 1}{8 x 5} \) = \( \frac{1}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{40}\)
