The joule is a unit of measurement for:

67% Answer Correctly

	capacitance
	energy
	resistance
	power

Solution

The joule is a unit of measurement for energy.

What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?

57% Answer Correctly

	the load at a specific location in the circuit
	the resistance at a specific location in the circuit
	the voltage at a specific location in the circuit
	the current at a specific location in the circuit

Solution

Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A high voltage indicates a high concentration of electrons that creates a greater potential for electron flow than a low voltage. When applied to a load, voltage creates electricity and potential difference is the measure of voltage at a specific location in an electrical circuit.

The formula specifying Ohm's law is which of the following?

76% Answer Correctly

	V = I²R
	\(V = {R \over I}\)
	V = IR
	\(V = {I \over R}\)

Solution

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

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

57% Answer Correctly

	transformer
	capacitor
	AC source
	DC source

Solution

Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of direct current (DC) is a battery.

The diameter of a number 12 wire is __________ the diameter of a number 6 wire?

52% Answer Correctly

	less than
	double
	more than
	triple

Solution

The larger the number the smaller the diameter of the wire. So, the diameter of a number 12 wire is less than the diameter of a number 6 wire.
