1

Which of the following allows DC to pass easily but resists the flow of AC?

56% Answer Correctly

capacitor

transformer

semiconductor

inductor
Solution

An inductor is coiled wire that stores electric energy in the form of magnetic energy and resists changes in the electric current flowing through it. If current is increasing, the inductor produces a voltage that slows the increase and, if current is decreasing, the magnetic energy in the coil opposes the decrease to keep the current flowing longer. In contrast to capacitors, inductors allow DC to pass easily but resist the flow of AC.

2

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

67% Answer Correctly

highway

parking lot

traffic light

one-way street
Solution

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

3 What's the overall power consumption of a piece of equipment that is rated for 6 amps at 130 volts?
85% Answer Correctly
783 W
2340 W
702 W
780 W
Solution
Power is measured in watts (W) and 1 watt equals 1 ampere multiplied by 1 volt: P = \( V \times I \). For this problem, the equipment is rated for 6 amps (I) at 130 volts (V) so the equation becomes P = \( 130 \times 6 \) = 780 W
4

If an electrical circuit is interrupted, which of the following will result?

61% Answer Correctly

parallel circuit

closed circuit

open circuit

short circuit
Solution

A closed circuit is a complete loop or path that electricity follows. It consists of a source of voltage, a load, and connective conductors. If the circuit is interrupted, if a wire is disconnected or cut for example, it becomes an open circuit and no electricity will flow.

The joule is a unit of measurement for:

67% Answer Correctly

capacitance

resistance

power

energy
Solution

The joule is a unit of measurement for energy.
