Which of the following statements about electrical resistance is true?

74% Answer Correctly

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

Solution

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

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

57% Answer Correctly

	transformer
	capacitor
	DC source
	AC source

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.

The diameter of a number 12 wire is __________ the diameter of a number 6 wire?

52% Answer Correctly

	triple
	more than
	less than
	double

Solution

The larger the number the smaller the diameter of the wire. So, the diameter of a number 12 wire is less than the diameter of a number 6 wire.

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

67% Answer Correctly

	highway
	one-way street
	traffic light
	parking lot

Solution

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

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

65% Answer Correctly

	transistor
	DC source
	AC source
	transformer

Solution

In contrast to the constant one-way flow of direct current, alternating current changes direction many times each second. Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances.
