The ohm is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

capacitance

energy

power

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.


2 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 40 Ω and current is 5.5 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
440 V
242 V
660 V
220 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 5.5 \times 40 \) = 220 V


3

What is the frequency of most household electrical systems?

60% Answer Correctly

60MHz

110V

110Hz

60Hz


Solution

Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances. Most households use electricity with a frequency of 60Hz.


4

Resistance is measured in:

86% Answer Correctly

ohms

volts

coulombs

amperes


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

The farad is a unit of measurement for:

63% Answer Correctly

inductance

capacitance

power

energy


Solution

Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
