Electrons will flow as current from areas of __________ potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of __________ potential.
low, high |
|
high, high |
|
high, low |
|
low, low |
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.
An engineer who wants to document an electric circuit would create which of the following?
a schematic |
|
a matrix |
|
a layout |
|
a blueprint |
A schematic is the proper name for a drawing of an electric or electronic circuit.
Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?
series circuits |
|
parallel circuits |
|
series-parallel circuits |
|
integrated circuits |
Circuits containing transistors are packaged into integrated circuit chips that allow encapsulating complex circuit designs (CPU, memory, I/O) for easier integration into electronic devices and machines.
What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?
the voltage at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the resistance at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the load at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the current at a specific location in the circuit |
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.

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 9 \times 10 \) = 90 V
