1 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 70 Ω and current is 8.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
595 V
596.5 V
598 V
591 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 8.5 \times 70 \) = 595 V


2

The farad is a unit of measurement for:

63% Answer Correctly

inductance

capacitance

energy

power


Solution

Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.


3

Longer the electrical wires mean _______________ voltage drop.

73% Answer Correctly

diminishing

lesser

greater

complete


Solution

Electrical wires have a certain amount of resistance per foot. A longer wire means more resistance and a greater voltage drop.


4

In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple can be used to:

42% Answer Correctly

keep the circuit at a designated safe temperature

link the temperature of one component in the circuit to that of another component in the circuit

increase or decrease the temperature of a component in the circuit

open or close a circuit at a designated temperature


Solution

A thermocouple is a temperature sensor that consists of two wires made from different conductors. The junction of these two wires produces a voltage based on the temperature difference between them and can be used like a switch to open or close the circuit at a designated temperature.


5

All electricity is the movement of which subatomic particles?

89% Answer Correctly

neutrons

nuclei

electrons

protons


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.
