1

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

energy

inductance

frequency

power
Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.

2 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 40 Ω and current is 9.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
342 V
380 V
382 V
383 V
Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 9.5 \times 40 \) = 380 V

3

The most common circuit configuration is:

58% Answer Correctly

household

series-parallel

series

parallel
Solution

Circuits are not limited to only series or only parallel configurations. Most circuits contain a mix of series and parallel segments. A good example is a household circuit breaker. Electrical outlets in each section of the house are wired in parallel with the circuit breaker for that section wired in series making it easy to cut off electricity to the parallel parts of the circuit when needed.

4

The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?

78% Answer Correctly

outer

first

middle

inner
Solution

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.

5

The diameter of a number 12 wire is __________ the diameter of a number 6 wire?

51% Answer Correctly

triple

more than

less than

double
Solution

The larger the number the smaller the diameter of the wire. So, the diameter of a number 12 wire is less than the diameter of a number 6 wire.
