1

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

76% Answer Correctly

V = I2R

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

V = IR

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


Solution

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


2

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

70% Answer Correctly

diode

fuse

capacitor

resistor


Solution

Fuses are thin wires that melt when the current in a circuit exceeds a preset amount. They help prevent short circuits from damaging circuit components when an unusually large current is applied to the circuit, either through component failure or spikes in applied voltage.


3 A circuit with a 120-volt power supply is protected by a 15-amp circuit breaker. What is the largest number of watts loads on this circuit can safely use?
82% Answer Correctly
1800 W
1802 W
1803 W
1791 W

Solution
Wattage is current multiplied by voltage: W = IV. So, the maximum amount of power a 120-volt circuit with a 15A circuit breaker would allow is 120V x 15A = 1800 W.

4

A __________ electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow.

61% Answer Correctly

low voltage

moving

stationary

high voltage


Solution

A moving electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow. This magnetic field can be made stronger by winding the wire into a coil and further enhanced if done around an iron containing (ferrous) core.


5

Electromotive force is another name for:

53% Answer Correctly

current

power

voltage

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.
