The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?
outer |
|
first |
|
middle |
|
inner |
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.
This circuit component symbol represents a(n):
capacitor |
|
resistor |
|
fuse |
|
diode |
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.
The valence shell of n insulator is how full of electrons?
more than half full |
|
less than half full |
|
half full |
|
empty |
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.
The hertz is a unit of measurement for:
frequency |
|
power |
|
inductance |
|
energy |
The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.
| 6V 200A | |
| 30V 100A | |
| 60V 20A | |
| 10V 120A |
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.
