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
The hertz is a unit of measurement for:
inductance |
|
power |
|
energy |
|
frequency |
The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.
This circuit diagram represents a(n):
series circuit |
|
rectifier |
|
parallel circuit |
|
series-parallel circuit |
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.
Using a fuse with a current rating higher than that required by a circuit:
makes the circuit less safe |
|
is required |
|
makes no difference |
|
is recommended |
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.
Electricity cannot flow...
through a closed circuit |
|
through a circuit with resistance |
|
through an open circuit |
|
through a circuit under load |
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.
