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.
Resistance is measured in:
volts |
|
ohms |
|
amperes |
|
coulombs |
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.
The farad is a unit of measurement for:
inductance |
|
capacitance |
|
power |
|
energy |
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.

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
An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:
transistor |
|
capacitor |
|
step-down transformer |
|
step-up transformer |
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.
