1

Electromotive force is another name for:

53% Answer Correctly

energy

voltage

current

power


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.


2

The valence shell of a semiconductor is how full of electrons?

67% Answer Correctly

less than half full

empty

more than half full

half full


Solution

Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.


3

You would measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit with a(n):

78% Answer Correctly

potentiometer

ammeter

ohmmeter

voltmeter


Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). An ohmmeter is used to measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit.


4

The volt is a unit of measurement for:

79% Answer Correctly

current

capacitance

power

voltage


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.


5

The diameter of a number 12 wire is __________ the diameter of a number 6 wire?

52% Answer Correctly

double

more than

less than

triple


Solution

The larger the number the smaller the diameter of the wire. So, the diameter of a number 12 wire is less than the diameter of a number 6 wire.
