1

Which of the following allows DC to pass easily but resists the flow of AC?

56% Answer Correctly

semiconductor

transformer

inductor

capacitor


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.


2

Electricity cannot flow...

72% Answer Correctly

through a circuit under load

through a circuit with resistance

through a closed circuit

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

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

directly

inversely

not

exponentially


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.


4

The ohm is a unit of measurement for:

80% Answer Correctly

capacitance

power

energy

resistance


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.


5 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 10 Ω and current is 2.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
27.5 V
25 V
8.33 V
37.5 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 2.5 \times 10 \) = 25 V
