1 How would you connect 6 [15V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 45V 75A?
67% Answer Correctly
perpendicular
orthogonal
series-parallel
series

Solution

Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 90V 25A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 15V 150A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 45V 75A configuration.


2

Capacitors connected in series produce __________ capacitance compared to capacitors connected in parallel.

45% Answer Correctly

no

less

more

the same


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 connected in series produce less capacitance than capacitors connected in parallel.


3

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

67% Answer Correctly

inductor

diode

transistor

transformer


Solution

The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.


4

A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current to control general current flow. Where is the small amount of current applied?

55% Answer Correctly

base

emitter

collector

input

5

Electrons will flow as current from areas of __________ potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of __________ potential.

75% Answer Correctly

high, low

low, high

low, low

high, high


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.
