1

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

67% Answer Correctly

parking lot

traffic light

highway

one-way street


Solution

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


2 Suppose you have 4 [15V 20A] batteries that you can connect together in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel. Which of the following voltage and ampere combinations cannot be attained using these 4 batteries?
46% Answer Correctly
60V 20A
30V 40A
15V 80A
60V 80A

Solution

Connecting the 4 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 20A configuration. Connecting the 4 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 15V 80A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 2 batteries can be connected in series and 2 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 40A configuration.


3

The rate of flow of electrons per unit time is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

resistance

voltage

conductance

current


Solution

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.


4

The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in a __________ circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.

54% Answer Correctly

closed

series-parallel

parallel

series


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.


5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

57% Answer Correctly

DC source

AC source

transformer

capacitor


Solution

Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of direct current (DC) is a battery.
