Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 6.5 \times 100 \) = 650 V
Which of the following is the preferred method for splicing wires?
wire crimps |
|
soldering |
|
screw-on connectors |
|
wrap in small gauge wire |
Splicing is permanently joining two wires together. Splicing can be done with screw-on connectors or wire crimps but the preferred method for splicing is soldering. Soldering takes the most effort but results in a connection that is electrically and mechanically identical to the original wire.
Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?
control the voltage in the circuit |
|
moderate the heat in the circuit |
|
multiply the current in the circuit |
|
limit the current in the circuit |
Resistors can be chosen in a wide variety of values to control the voltage in a circuit, limit the current, or moderate the heat produced by the components in the circuit.
Voltage and current are __________ proportional.
not |
|
inversely |
|
indirectly |
|
directly |
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.
A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease what in a circuit?
load |
|
resistance |
|
voltage |
|
current |
A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. AC flowing in a coil wrapped around an iron core magnetizes the core causing it to produce a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates a voltage in a nearby coil of wire and, depending on the number of turns in the wire of the primary (source) and secondary coils and their proximity, voltage is induced in the secondary coil.
