1

Which of the following will increase the magnetic field produced by the electric current in a wire?

67% Answer Correctly

wrap the wire around a ceramic core

wind the wire into a coil

construct the wire from insulative material

construct the wire from conductive material


Solution

A moving electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow. This magnetic field can be made stronger by winding the wire into a coil and further enhanced if done around an iron containing (ferrous) core.


2

Which of the following is not a terminal on a transistor?

59% Answer Correctly

base

collector

input

emitter


Solution

A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.


3

The valence shell of a conductor is how full of electrons?

52% Answer Correctly

more than half full

half full

full

less than half full


Solution

Conductors are elements that allow electrons to flow freely. Their valence shell is less than half full of electrons that are able to move easily from one atom to another.


4 Suppose you have 10 [6V 5A] batteries that you can connect together in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel. Which of the following voltage and ampere combinations cannot be attained using these 10 batteries?
46% Answer Correctly
10V 30A
6V 50A
30V 25A
60V 5A

Solution

Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 5A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 6V 50A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 25A configuration.


5

A transistor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?

68% Answer Correctly

safe

gate

driveway

no trespassing sign


Solution

A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor. A transistor acts as a gate or switch for electronic signals.
