1 What's the overall power consumption of a piece of equipment that is rated for 8 amps at 110 volts?

80% Answer Correctly

	792 W
	880 W
	440 W
	1760 W

Solution

Power is measured in watts (W) and 1 watt equals 1 ampere multiplied by 1 volt: P = \( V \times I \). For this problem, the equipment is rated for 8 amps (I) at 110 volts (V) so the equation becomes P = \( 110 \times 8 \) = 880 W

Which of the following statements about electrical resistance is true?

75% Answer Correctly

	the more resistive the conductor is the slower electron flow will be
	the more resistive the conductor is the faster electron flow will be
	the less resistive the conductor is the slower electron flow will be
	electrically conductive materials have no resistive properties

Solution

Resistance is opposition to the flow of current. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.

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

61% Answer Correctly

	moving
	high voltage
	stationary
	low 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.

Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?

67% Answer Correctly

	integrated circuits
	series-parallel circuits
	parallel circuits
	series circuits

Solution

Circuits containing transistors are packaged into integrated circuit chips that allow encapsulating complex circuit designs (CPU, memory, I/O) for easier integration into electronic devices and machines.

This circuit diagram represents a(n):

68% Answer Correctly

	series circuit
	open circuit
	series-parallel circuit
	parallel circuit

Solution

A series circuit has only one path for current to flow. In a series circuit, current (I) is the same throughout the circuit and is equal to the total voltage (V) applied to the circuit divided by the total resistance (R) of the loads in the circuit. The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in the circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.
