1 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 80 volts and current is 2 amps.
81% Answer Correctly
40 Ω
42 Ω
34 Ω
60 Ω

Solution

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.

Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{80}{2} \) = 40 Ω


2

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

inductance

power

energy

frequency


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


3

This circuit diagram represents a(n):

65% Answer Correctly

series circuit

rectifier

parallel circuit

series-parallel circuit


Solution

In a parallel circuit, each load occupies a separate parallel path in the circuit and the input voltage is fully applied to each path. Unlike a series circuit where current (I) is the same at all points in the circuit, in a parallel circuit, voltage (V) is the same across each parallel branch of the circuit but current differs in each branch depending on the load (resistance) present.


4

Using a fuse with a current rating higher than that required by a circuit:

70% Answer Correctly

makes the circuit less safe

is required

makes no difference

is recommended


Solution

A fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that stops current flow in a circuit in response to a larger than intended electric current flow. Using a fuse with a higher current rating than required by a circuit is less safe as it could potentially allow overcurrent and risk a fire or heat-related equipment damage.


5

Electricity cannot flow...

72% Answer Correctly

through a closed circuit

through a circuit with resistance

through an open circuit

through a circuit under load


Solution

An electrical circuit is a path through which electricity flows. This path contains one or more components that create a load (something that is using electricity) and that load acts as resistance to the passage of electricity through the circuit. Electricity can only flow through a circuit when the path is closed and cannot flow through an open circuit.
