1

You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):

83% Answer Correctly

ammeter

voltmeter

battery

reostat


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.


2

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

70% Answer Correctly

capacitor

diode

resistor

fuse


Solution

Fuses are thin wires that melt when the current in a circuit exceeds a preset amount. They help prevent short circuits from damaging circuit components when an unusually large current is applied to the circuit, either through component failure or spikes in applied voltage.


3 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 195 volts and current is 6.5 amps.
80% Answer Correctly
33 Ω
30 Ω
60 Ω
90 Ω

Solution

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

Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{195}{6.5} \) = 30 Ω


4

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

directly

inversely

not

exponentially


Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.


5

Electromotive force is another name for:

53% Answer Correctly

current

energy

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.
