1

Resistance is measured in:

86% Answer Correctly

coulombs

volts

amperes

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.


2 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 90 Ω and current is 7 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
630 V
315 V
1890 V
631.5 V

Solution

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 7 \times 90 \) = 630 V


3

Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

70% Answer Correctly

control the voltage in the circuit

multiply the current in the circuit

moderate the heat in the circuit

limit the current in the circuit


Solution

Resistors can be chosen in a wide variety of values to control the voltage in a circuit, limit the current, or moderate the heat produced by the components in the circuit.


4

What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?

58% Answer Correctly

the load at a specific location in the circuit

the voltage at a specific location in the circuit

the current at a specific location in the circuit

the resistance at a specific location in the circuit


Solution

Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A high voltage indicates a high concentration of electrons that creates a greater potential for electron flow than a low voltage. When applied to a load, voltage creates electricity and potential difference is the measure of voltage at a specific location in an electrical circuit.


5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

67% Answer Correctly

inductor

transistor

diode

transformer


Solution

The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.
