| 18V 50A | |
| 4V 225A | |
| 9V 100A | |
| 36V 25A |
Connecting the 4 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 36V 25A configuration. Connecting the 4 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 9V 100A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 2 batteries can be connected in series and 2 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 18V 50A configuration.
You would measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit with a(n):
potentiometer |
|
ohmmeter |
|
ammeter |
|
voltmeter |
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.
The volt is a unit of measurement for:
voltage |
|
capacitance |
|
power |
|
current |
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.
Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
determining energy stored by a capacitor |
|
a DC circuit |
|
an AC circuit |
|
batteries connected in serial |
Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{375}{7.5} \) = 50 Ω
