1

This circuit diagram represents a(n):

65% Answer Correctly

rectifier

series circuit

series-parallel circuit

parallel circuit
Solution

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.

2

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

83% Answer Correctly

ammeter

battery

reostat

voltmeter
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.

3

An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:

65% Answer Correctly

capacitor

transistor

step-down transformer

step-up transformer
Solution

An amplifier is a device that takes a small input signal and creates a larger output signal. This makes it most similar to a step-up transformer which takes a smaller input voltage and creates a larger output voltage.

4

A diode to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a city?

67% Answer Correctly

traffic light

highway

one-way street

parking lot
Solution

A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction.

5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

66% Answer Correctly

DC source

transistor

AC source

transformer
Solution

In contrast to the constant one-way flow of direct current, alternating current changes direction many times each second. Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances.
