1

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

75% Answer Correctly

low, high

high, high

high, low

low, 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.


2

An engineer who wants to document an electric circuit would create which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

a schematic

a matrix

a layout

a blueprint


Solution

A schematic is the proper name for a drawing of an electric or electronic circuit.


3

Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?

67% Answer Correctly

series circuits

parallel circuits

series-parallel circuits

integrated circuits


Solution

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.


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

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


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.


5 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 10 Ω and current is 9 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
91.5 V
180 V
92 V
90 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 9 \times 10 \) = 90 V
