1

The formula specifying Ohm's law is which of the following?

76% Answer Correctly

V = I2R

\(V = {I \over R}\)

V = IR

\(V = {R \over I}\)


Solution

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


2

Inductance is a factor in which of the following?

44% Answer Correctly

determining energy stored by a capacitor

batteries connected in serial

an AC circuit

a DC circuit


Solution

Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.


3

A __________ electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow.

61% Answer Correctly

high voltage

moving

low voltage

stationary


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.


4

Which of these materials is not a good conductor of electricity?

79% Answer Correctly

air

copper

tin

gold


Solution

All conductors have resistance and the amount of resistance varies with the element. In general, metals make the best conductors of electricity and non-metals make the worst conductors of electricity.


5 Suppose you have 8 [6V 10A] 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 8 batteries?
46% Answer Correctly
6V 80A
24V 40A
8V 60A
48V 10A

Solution

Connecting the 8 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 48V 10A configuration. Connecting the 8 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 6V 80A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 4 batteries can be connected in series and 4 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 24V 40A configuration.
