Resistance and current are __________ proportional.
inversely |
|
exponentially |
|
not |
|
directly |
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.

Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 6 \times 100 \) = 600 V
General current flow in a transistor is from __________ to __________.
base, collector |
|
collector, base |
|
collector, emitter |
|
base, emitter |
The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. 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.
The valence shell of n insulator is how full of electrons?
half full |
|
more than half full |
|
less than half full |
|
empty |
Insulators have valence shells that are more than half full of electrons and, as such, are tightly bound to the nucleus and difficult to move from one atom to another.
Resistance is measured in:
ohms |
|
volts |
|
amperes |
|
coulombs |
