1

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

inversely

directly

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.


2 How would you connect 4 [15V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 60V 25A?
53% Answer Correctly
orthogonal
series-parallel
parallel
series

Solution

Connecting the 4 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 25A configuration. Connecting the 4 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 15V 100A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 2 batteries can be connected in series and 2 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 50A configuration.


3 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of current in this circuit if voltage is 135 volts and resistance is 30 Ω.
81% Answer Correctly
3.5 A
9 A
13.5 A
4.5 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 = \( \frac{V}{R} \) = \( \frac{135}{30} \) = 4.5 A


4

An engineer who wants to document an electric circuit would create which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

a blueprint

a matrix

a layout

a schematic


Solution

A schematic is the proper name for a drawing of an electric or electronic circuit.


5

What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?

58% Answer Correctly

the voltage at a specific location in the circuit

the load at a specific location in the circuit

the resistance at a specific location in the circuit

the current at a specific location in the circuit


Solution

Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A high voltage indicates a high concentration of electrons that creates a greater potential for electron flow than a low voltage. When applied to a load, voltage creates electricity and potential difference is the measure of voltage at a specific location in an electrical circuit.
