1

The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?

78% Answer Correctly

outer

first

middle

inner


Solution

All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.


2

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

70% Answer Correctly

capacitor

resistor

fuse

diode


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

The valence shell of n insulator is how full of electrons?

56% Answer Correctly

more than half full

less than half full

half full

empty


Solution

Insulators have valence shells that are more than half full of electrons and, as such, are tightly bound to the nucleus and difficult to move from one atom to another.


4

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

frequency

power

inductance

energy


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.


5 Suppose you have 10 [6V 20A] batteries that you can connect together in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel. Which of the following voltage and ampere combinations cannot be attained using these 10 batteries?
46% Answer Correctly
6V 200A
30V 100A
60V 20A
10V 120A

Solution

Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 20A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 6V 200A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 100A configuration.
