1

The volt is a unit of measurement for:

79% Answer Correctly

voltage

capacitance

current

power


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.


2

A transistor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?

68% Answer Correctly

gate

driveway

no trespassing sign

safe


Solution

A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor. A transistor acts as a gate or switch for electronic signals.


3

In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple can be used to:

42% Answer Correctly

open or close a circuit at a designated temperature

increase or decrease the temperature of a component in the circuit

keep the circuit at a designated safe temperature

link the temperature of one component in the circuit to that of another component in the circuit


Solution

A thermocouple is a temperature sensor that consists of two wires made from different conductors. The junction of these two wires produces a voltage based on the temperature difference between them and can be used like a switch to open or close the circuit at a designated temperature.


4 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 30 Ω and current is 4 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
113 V
360 V
60 V
120 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 4 \times 30 \) = 120 V


5

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

81% Answer Correctly

energy

power

inductance

frequency


Solution

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.
