1

Voltage and current are __________ proportional.

66% Answer Correctly

directly

indirectly

inversely

not


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.


2

An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:

65% Answer Correctly

capacitor

transistor

step-up transformer

step-down transformer


Solution

An amplifier is a device that takes a small input signal and creates a larger output signal. This makes it most similar to a step-up transformer which takes a smaller input voltage and creates a larger output voltage.


3

Electrons will flow as current from areas of __________ potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of __________ potential.

75% Answer Correctly

low, high

high, high

low, low

high, low


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.


4

Which of the following will help to prevent a short circuit?

74% Answer Correctly

diode

transistor

fuse

resistor


Solution

Fuses are thin wires that melt when the current in a circuit exceeds a preset amount. They help prevent short circuits from damaging circuit components when an unusually large current is applied to the circuit, either through component failure or spikes in applied voltage.


5

The ohm is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

power

resistance

capacitance

energy


Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.
