Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
determining energy stored by a capacitor |
|
a DC circuit |
|
batteries connected in serial |
|
an AC circuit |
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.
The formula specifying Ohm's law is which of the following?
V = IR |
|
V = I2R |
|
\(V = {R \over I}\) |
|
\(V = {I \over R}\) |
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Which of these materials is not a good conductor of electricity?
gold |
|
copper |
|
tin |
|
air |
All conductors have resistance and the amount of resistance varies with the element. In general, metals make the best conductors of electricity and non-metals make the worst conductors of electricity.
| 150V 20A | |
| 75V 100A | |
| 15V 200A | |
| 10V 300A |
Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 150V 20A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 15V 200A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 75V 100A configuration.
What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?
the load at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the voltage at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the current at a specific location in the circuit |
|
the resistance at a specific location in the circuit |
Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A high voltage indicates a high concentration of electrons that creates a greater potential for electron flow than a low voltage. When applied to a load, voltage creates electricity and potential difference is the measure of voltage at a specific location in an electrical circuit.
