1

Resistance is measured in:

86% Answer Correctly

volts

coulombs

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

The rate of flow of electrons per unit time is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

voltage

resistance

current

conductance


Solution

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.


3

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

55% Answer Correctly

capacitor

semiconductor

transformer

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.


4 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of current in this circuit if voltage is 375 volts and resistance is 50 Ω.
81% Answer Correctly
7.5 A
22.5 A
10.5 A
3.75 A

Solution

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

Solved for current, I = \( \frac{V}{R} \) = \( \frac{375}{50} \) = 7.5 A


5

The joule is a unit of measurement for:

67% Answer Correctly

power

resistance

capacitance

energy


Solution

The joule is a unit of measurement for energy.
