1

Capacitors store:

69% Answer Correctly

current

capacitance

electricity

resistance


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 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.


2

Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?

67% Answer Correctly

parallel circuits

series circuits

series-parallel circuits

integrated circuits


Solution

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.


3

The farad is a unit of measurement for:

63% Answer Correctly

inductance

capacitance

energy

power

4 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of current in this circuit if voltage is 450 volts and resistance is 90 Ω.
80% Answer Correctly
15 A
10 A
1 A
5 A

Solution

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


5

Why is an insulator a poor conductor of electricity?

68% Answer Correctly

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


Solution

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.
