1 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 70 Ω and current is 7.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
527 V
472.5 V
525 V
1575 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 7.5 \times 70 \) = 525 V


2 How would you connect 8 [15V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 60V 100A?
66% Answer Correctly
series
series-parallel
perpendicular
orthogonal

Solution

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.


3

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

58% Answer Correctly

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


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.


4

Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

70% Answer Correctly

limit the current in the circuit

multiply the current in the circuit

moderate the heat in the circuit

control the voltage in the circuit


Solution

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.


5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

66% Answer Correctly

transformer

DC source

AC source

transistor


Solution

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.
