1

All electricity is the movement of which subatomic particles?

89% Answer Correctly

nuclei

protons

neutrons

electrons
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.

2

The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?

78% Answer Correctly

outer

first

inner

middle
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.

3

If an electrical circuit is interrupted, which of the following will result?

61% Answer Correctly

parallel circuit

short circuit

closed circuit

open circuit
Solution

A closed circuit is a complete loop or path that electricity follows. It consists of a source of voltage, a load, and connective conductors. If the circuit is interrupted, if a wire is disconnected or cut for example, it becomes an open circuit and no electricity will flow.

4

You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):

83% Answer Correctly

voltmeter

ammeter

reostat

battery
Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.

5

You would measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit with a(n):

78% Answer Correctly

ammeter

potentiometer

ohmmeter

voltmeter
Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). An ohmmeter is used to measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit.
