1 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 40 Ω and current is 9.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
570 V
1140 V
377 V
380 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 9.5 \times 40 \) = 380 V


2

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:

69% Answer Correctly

coulombs

amperes

ohms

volts


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

A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease what in a circuit?

61% Answer Correctly

voltage

resistance

load

current


Solution

A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. AC flowing in a coil wrapped around an iron core magnetizes the core causing it to produce a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates a voltage in a nearby coil of wire and, depending on the number of turns in the wire of the primary (source) and secondary coils and their proximity, voltage is induced in the secondary coil.


4

You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):

83% Answer Correctly

ammeter

battery

voltmeter

reostat


Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.


5

Electricity cannot flow...

72% Answer Correctly

through a closed circuit

through a circuit with resistance

through an open circuit

through a circuit under load


Solution

An electrical circuit is a path through which electricity flows. This path contains one or more components that create a load (something that is using electricity) and that load acts as resistance to the passage of electricity through the circuit. Electricity can only flow through a circuit when the path is closed and cannot flow through an open circuit.
