Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 7.5 \times 70 \) = 525 V

Connecting the 8 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 120V 25A configuration. Connecting the 8 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 15V 200A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 4 batteries can be connected in series and 4 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 60V 100A configuration.
What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?
the resistance at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the current at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the load at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the voltage 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.
Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?
limit the current in the circuit |
|
multiply the current in the circuit |
|
moderate the heat in the circuit |
|
control the voltage in the circuit |
Resistors can be chosen in a wide variety of values to control the voltage in a circuit, limit the current, or moderate the heat produced by the components in the circuit.
This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

|
DC source |

In contrast to the constant one-way flow of direct current, alternating current changes direction many times each second. Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances.
