1

The valence shell of a conductor is how full of electrons?

52% Answer Correctly

less than half full

half full

more than half full

full


Solution

Conductors are elements that allow electrons to flow freely. Their valence shell is less than half full of electrons that are able to move easily from one atom to another.


2

From what energy do photovoltaic cells produce electrical energy?

68% Answer Correctly

sun

chemical

nuclear

magnetic


Solution

A photovoltaic cell (also known as a solar cell) converts energy from the sun into electrical energy.


3 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 60 Ω and current is 7 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
421.5 V
422 V
462 V
420 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 7 \times 60 \) = 420 V


4

Which of the following is the same for each branch of a parallel circuit?

57% Answer Correctly

voltage

power

resistance

current


Solution

In a parallel circuit, each load occupies a separate parallel path in the circuit and the input voltage is fully applied to each path. Unlike a series circuit where current (I) is the same at all points in the circuit, in a parallel circuit, voltage (V) is the same across each parallel branch of the circuit but current differs in each branch depending on the load (resistance) present.


5

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

65% Answer Correctly

diode

capacitor

potentiometer

fuse


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.
