1

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

power

frequency

inductance

energy


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


2

Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in series?

61% Answer Correctly

total voltage equals the average of the individual battery voltages

two connections are made between each adjacent battery

total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages

the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the positive terminal of the next


Solution

You can multiply the voltage or the current supplied by individual batteries by connecting them together either in series or in parallel. The characteristics of batteries connected in series are that total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages, total current equals the average of the individual battery currents, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, and one connection is made between each adjacent battery.


3

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

directly

exponentially

not

inversely


Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.


4

Why does current in an electric circuit create heat?

77% Answer Correctly

heat is created when the current overcomes resistance in the wire

the wire in the circuit burns when current passes through

current is naturally hot

voltage is naturally hot


Solution

Current in an electric circuit creates heat when the current overcomes resistance in the wire.


5

The ampere is a unit of measurement for:

79% Answer Correctly

inductance

power

current

energy


Solution

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
