1

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.


2

Resistance is measured in:

86% Answer Correctly

amperes

coulombs

volts

ohms


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.


3

You would measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit with a(n):

78% Answer Correctly

potentiometer

ohmmeter

ammeter

voltmeter


Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). An ohmmeter is used to measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit.


4

A diode to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a city?

67% Answer Correctly

highway

parking lot

one-way street

traffic light


Solution

A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction.


5

The volt is a unit of measurement for:

79% Answer Correctly

power

capacitance

current

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.
