The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

energy

power

frequency

inductance


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


2 Suppose you have 10 [9V 15A] 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
45V 75A
90V 15A
10V 135A
9V 150A

Solution

Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 90V 15A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 9V 150A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 45V 75A configuration.


3

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

52% Answer Correctly

more than half full

less than half full

full

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

Electromotive force is another name for:

53% Answer Correctly

current

voltage

energy

power


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.


5

What is the voltage of most household electrical systems in the United States?

59% Answer Correctly

60Hz

220V

110V

60V


Solution

Most households use electricity with a voltage of 110V.
