Which of the following converts electrical energy into another form of energy in an electrical circuit?
wiring |
|
AC source |
|
load |
|
DC source |
A load is a source of resistance that converts electrical energy into another form of energy. The components of a microwave, for example, are loads that work together to convert household electricity into radation that can be used to quickly cook food.
| 360 V | |
| 172 V | |
| 270 V | |
| 180 V |
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 3 \times 60 \) = 180 V
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:
coulombs |
|
volts |
|
ohms |
|
amperes |
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
The diameter of a number 12 wire is __________ the diameter of a number 6 wire?
less than |
|
double |
|
more than |
|
triple |
The larger the number the smaller the diameter of the wire. So, the diameter of a number 12 wire is less than the diameter of a number 6 wire.
The rate of flow of electrons per unit time is which of the following?
current |
|
resistance |
|
conductance |
|
voltage |
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
