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.
The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?
inner |
|
middle |
|
outer |
|
first |
All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.
What is the frequency of most household electrical systems?
60MHz |
|
110Hz |
|
60Hz |
|
110V |
Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances. Most households use electricity with a frequency of 60Hz.
A capacitor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?
gate |
|
driveway |
|
safe |
|
storage shed |
Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
The ohm is a unit of measurement for:
capacitance |
|
resistance |
|
power |
|
energy |
Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.
