1 How would you connect 6 [9V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 27V 75A?
66% Answer Correctly
parallel
perpendicular
series-parallel
orthogonal

Solution

Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 54V 25A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 9V 150A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 27V 75A configuration.


2

Resistance is measured in:

86% Answer Correctly

volts

ohms

amperes

coulombs


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

The farad is a unit of measurement for:

63% Answer Correctly

inductance

capacitance

power

energy


Solution

Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.


4 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 120 volts and current is 6 amps.
80% Answer Correctly
30 Ω
21 Ω
18 Ω
20 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 = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{120}{6} \) = 20 Ω


5

An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:

65% Answer Correctly

transistor

capacitor

step-down transformer

step-up transformer


Solution

An amplifier is a device that takes a small input signal and creates a larger output signal. This makes it most similar to a step-up transformer which takes a smaller input voltage and creates a larger output voltage.
