1

Electrons will flow as current from areas of __________ potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of __________ potential.

74% Answer Correctly

low, low

high, low

high, high

low, high


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.


2

A __________ electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow.

61% Answer Correctly

moving

low voltage

high voltage

stationary


Solution

A moving electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow. This magnetic field can be made stronger by winding the wire into a coil and further enhanced if done around an iron containing (ferrous) core.


3 A circuit with a 120-volt power supply is protected by a 20-amp circuit breaker. What is the largest number of watts loads on this circuit can safely use?
82% Answer Correctly
2400 W
4800 W
2396 W
2403 W

Solution
Wattage is current multiplied by voltage: W = IV. So, the maximum amount of power a 120-volt circuit with a 20A circuit breaker would allow is 120V x 20A = 2400 W.

4

An engineer who wants to document an electric circuit would create which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

a schematic

a blueprint

a layout

a matrix


Solution

A schematic is the proper name for a drawing of an electric or electronic circuit.


5

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

inductance

energy

frequency

power


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.
