The hertz is a unit of measurement for:
power |
|
frequency |
|
energy |
|
inductance |
The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.
Electricity cannot flow...
through a circuit with resistance |
|
through a closed circuit |
|
through a circuit under load |
|
through an open circuit |
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.
General current flow in a transistor is from __________ to __________.
collector, emitter |
|
base, collector |
|
collector, base |
|
base, emitter |
The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.
A solid state device has which of the following characteristics?
made entirely from insulative material |
|
made entirely from semiconductor material |
|
made from a mix of conductive and insulative material |
|
made entirely from conductive material |

An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:
step-up transformer |
|
capacitor |
|
transistor |
|
step-down transformer |
An amplifier is a device that takes a small input signal and creates a larger output signal. This makes it most similar to a step-up transformer which takes a smaller input voltage and creates a larger output voltage.
