1 Suppose you have 4 [9V 25A] batteries that you can connect together in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel. Which of the following voltage and ampere combinations cannot be attained using these 4 batteries?
46% Answer Correctly
18V 50A
4V 225A
9V 100A
36V 25A

Solution

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.


2

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.


3

The volt is a unit of measurement for:

79% Answer Correctly

voltage

capacitance

power

current


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.


4

Inductance is a factor in which of the following?

44% Answer Correctly

determining energy stored by a capacitor

a DC circuit

an AC circuit

batteries connected in serial


Solution

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.


5 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 375 volts and current is 7.5 amps.
80% Answer Correctly
50 Ω
45 Ω
51 Ω
55 Ω

Solution

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
