1

Which of the following statements about electrical resistance is true?

75% Answer Correctly

the more resistive the conductor is the faster electron flow will be

the more resistive the conductor is the slower electron flow will be

electrically conductive materials have no resistive properties

the less 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.


2

A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease what in a circuit?

61% Answer Correctly

load

resistance

current

voltage


Solution

A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. AC flowing in a coil wrapped around an iron core magnetizes the core causing it to produce a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates a voltage in a nearby coil of wire and, depending on the number of turns in the wire of the primary (source) and secondary coils and their proximity, voltage is induced in the secondary coil.


3

Longer the electrical wires mean _______________ voltage drop.

73% Answer Correctly

greater

lesser

diminishing

complete


Solution

Electrical wires have a certain amount of resistance per foot. A longer wire means more resistance and a greater voltage drop.


4

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

directly

inversely

exponentially

not


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

Resistance is opposition to which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

impedance

current

conductance

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.
