Resistance and current are __________ proportional.
not |
|
exponentially |
|
directly |
|
inversely |
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.
From what energy do photovoltaic cells produce electrical energy?
sun |
|
magnetic |
|
chemical |
|
nuclear |
A photovoltaic cell (also known as a solar cell) converts energy from the sun into electrical energy.
You would measure the amount of current through a circuit with a(n):
ammeter |
|
battery |
|
voltmeter |
|
potentiometer |
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). An ammeter is used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
| series-parallel | |
| perpendicular | |
| series | |
| orthogonal |
Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 90V 25A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 15V 150A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 45V 75A configuration.
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:
ohms |
|
volts |
|
amperes |
|
coulombs |
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.
