1

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

not

exponentially

directly

inversely


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

From what energy do photovoltaic cells produce electrical energy?

68% Answer Correctly

sun

magnetic

chemical

nuclear


Solution

A photovoltaic cell (also known as a solar cell) converts energy from the sun into electrical energy.


3

You would measure the amount of current through a circuit with a(n):

69% Answer Correctly

ammeter

battery

voltmeter

potentiometer


Solution

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.


4 How would you connect 6 [15V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 90V 25A?
53% Answer Correctly
series-parallel
perpendicular
series
orthogonal

Solution

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.


5

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:

69% Answer Correctly

ohms

volts

amperes

coulombs


Solution

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.
