1 How would you connect 6 [12V 5A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 36V 15A?
67% Answer Correctly
parallel
series
perpendicular
series-parallel

Solution

Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 72V 5A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 12V 30A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 36V 15A configuration.


2 How would you connect 6 [15V 20A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 15V 120A?
51% Answer Correctly
series
parallel
orthogonal
series-parallel

Solution

Connecting the 6 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 90V 20A configuration. Connecting the 6 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 15V 120A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 3 batteries can be connected in series and 3 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 45V 60A configuration.


3

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

68% Answer Correctly

driveway

safe

no trespassing sign

gate


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.


4

Resistance is opposition to which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

impedance

conductance

current

voltage


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

A diode to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a city?

67% Answer Correctly

parking lot

highway

traffic light

one-way street


Solution

A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction.
