Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
a DC circuit |
|
an AC circuit |
|
determining energy stored by a capacitor |
|
batteries connected in serial |
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.
Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in series?
the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the positive terminal of the next |
|
total voltage equals the average of the individual battery voltages |
|
total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages |
|
two connections are made between each adjacent battery |
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.
Electrons will flow as current from areas of __________ potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of __________ potential.
high, low |
|
high, high |
|
low, low |
|
low, high |
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.
Which of the following is the same for each branch of a parallel circuit?
voltage |
|
resistance |
|
current |
|
power |
In a parallel circuit, each load occupies a separate parallel path in the circuit and the input voltage is fully applied to each path. Unlike a series circuit where current (I) is the same at all points in the circuit, in a parallel circuit, voltage (V) is the same across each parallel branch of the circuit but current differs in each branch depending on the load (resistance) present.
The volt is a unit of measurement for:
power |
|
capacitance |
|
current |
|
voltage |
