The volt is a unit of measurement for:
current |
|
capacitance |
|
power |
|
voltage |
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.
Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
batteries connected in serial |
|
a DC circuit |
|
determining energy stored by a capacitor |
|
an AC circuit |
Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 3.5 \times 50 \) = 175 V

Which of the following allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction?
diode |
|
capacitor |
|
resistor |
|
inductor |
A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction. Diodes are commonly used for rectification which is the conversion of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Because a diode only allows current flow in one direction, it will pass either the upper or lower half of AC waves (half-wave rectification) creating pulsating DC. Multiple diodes can be connected together to utilize both halves of the AC signal in full-wave rectification.
