The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

frequency

inductance

power

energy


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


2 How would you connect 6 [6V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 18V 75A?
66% Answer Correctly
series
parallel
series-parallel
perpendicular

Solution

Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 36V 25A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 6V 150A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 18V 75A configuration.


3 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 80 Ω and current is 2.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
197 V
400 V
100 V
200 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 2.5 \times 80 \) = 200 V


4

Electricity cannot flow...

72% Answer Correctly

through a closed circuit

through a circuit with resistance

through a circuit under load

through an open circuit


Solution

An electrical circuit is a path through which electricity flows. This path contains one or more components that create a load (something that is using electricity) and that load acts as resistance to the passage of electricity through the circuit. Electricity can only flow through a circuit when the path is closed and cannot flow through an open circuit.


5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

70% Answer Correctly

fuse

capacitor

resistor

diode


Solution

Fuses are thin wires that melt when the current in a circuit exceeds a preset amount. They help prevent short circuits from damaging circuit components when an unusually large current is applied to the circuit, either through component failure or spikes in applied voltage.
