1

Electromotive force is another name for:

53% Answer Correctly

current

voltage

power

energy


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

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

not

directly

exponentially

inversely


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.


3 How would you connect 10 [6V 10A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 6V 100A?
51% Answer Correctly
series
parallel
orthogonal
series-parallel

Solution

Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 10A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 6V 100A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 50A configuration.


4

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

69% Answer Correctly

amperes

coulombs

volts

ohms


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.


5 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 10 Ω and current is 1.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
10 V
18 V
30 V
15 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 1.5 \times 10 \) = 15 V
