1 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 70 Ω and current is 6 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
422 V
421.5 V
462 V
420 V

Solution

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 6 \times 70 \) = 420 V


2

The watt is a unit of measurement for:

78% Answer Correctly

frequency

power

resistance

energy


Solution

Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.


3

This circuit diagram represents a(n):

65% Answer Correctly

parallel circuit

series circuit

rectifier

series-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.


4

A __________ electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow.

61% Answer Correctly

stationary

moving

low voltage

high voltage


Solution

A moving electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow. This magnetic field can be made stronger by winding the wire into a coil and further enhanced if done around an iron containing (ferrous) core.


5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

65% Answer Correctly

fuse

potentiometer

capacitor

diode


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.
