1

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

energy

inductance

power

frequency


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


2

The formula specifying Ohm's law is which of the following?

76% Answer Correctly

V = IR

\(V = {I \over R}\)

\(V = {R \over I}\)

V = I2R


Solution

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


3 How would you connect 6 [6V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 18V 75A?
67% Answer Correctly
perpendicular
orthogonal
series
series-parallel

Solution

Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 36V 25A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 6V 150A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 18V 75A configuration.


4

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

60% Answer Correctly

resistor

transformer

capacitor

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.


5

In an electrical circuit, resistors have fixed or __________ resistance.

69% Answer Correctly

series

parallel

dynamic

variable


Solution

Resistors are used to limit voltage and/or current in a circuit and can have a fixed or variable resistance.  Variable resistors (often called potentiometers or rheostats) are used when dynamic control over the voltage/current in a circuit is needed, for example, in a light dimmer or volume control.
