1 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 70 Ω and current is 8.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
1190 V
596.5 V
595 V
654.5 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 8.5 \times 70 \) = 595 V


2

Electromotive force is another name for:

53% Answer Correctly

voltage

energy

current

power


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.


3

An inductor __________ changes in the electric current flowing through it.

61% Answer Correctly

resists

eliminates

doubles

enhances


Solution

An inductor is coiled wire that stores electric energy in the form of magnetic energy and resists changes in the electric current flowing through it. If current is increasing, the inductor produces a voltage that slows the increase and, if current is decreasing, the magnetic energy in the coil opposes the decrease to keep the current flowing longer. In contrast to capacitors, inductors allow DC to pass easily but resist the flow of AC.


4

All electricity is the movement of which subatomic particles?

89% Answer Correctly

protons

nuclei

electrons

neutrons


Solution

All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.


5

You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):

83% Answer Correctly

reostat

battery

ammeter

voltmeter


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.
