1

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

power

frequency

energy

inductance


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


2

Electricity cannot flow...

72% Answer Correctly

through a circuit with resistance

through a closed circuit

through a circuit under load

through an open circuit


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.


3

General current flow in a transistor is from __________ to __________.

50% Answer Correctly

collector, emitter

base, collector

collector, base

base, emitter


Solution

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.


4

A solid state device has which of the following characteristics?

53% Answer Correctly

made entirely from insulative material

made entirely from semiconductor material

made from a mix of conductive and insulative material

made entirely from conductive material


Solution

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.


5

An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:

65% Answer Correctly

step-up transformer

capacitor

transistor

step-down transformer


Solution

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.
