Capacitors store:
current |
|
capacitance |
|
electricity |
|
resistance |
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 are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?
parallel circuits |
|
series circuits |
|
series-parallel circuits |
|
integrated circuits |
Circuits containing transistors are packaged into integrated circuit chips that allow encapsulating complex circuit designs (CPU, memory, I/O) for easier integration into electronic devices and machines.
The farad is a unit of measurement for:
inductance |
|
capacitance |
|
energy |
|
power |

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Solved for current, I = \( \frac{V}{R} \) = \( \frac{450}{90} \) = 5 A
Why is an insulator a poor conductor of electricity?
an insulator is made of inorganic material |
|
an insulator is made of organic material |
|
an insulator has many free electrons |
|
an insulator has few free electrons |
Insulators have valence shells that are more than half full of electrons and, as such, are tightly bound to the nucleus and difficult to move from one atom to another.
