1

Resistance and current are __________ proportional.

68% Answer Correctly

inversely

exponentially

not

directly


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.


2 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 100 Ω and current is 6 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
600 V
602 V
660 V
1200 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 6 \times 100 \) = 600 V


3

General current flow in a transistor is from __________ to __________.

51% Answer Correctly

base, collector

collector, base

collector, emitter

base, emitter


Solution

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.


4

The valence shell of n insulator is how full of electrons?

56% Answer Correctly

half full

more than half full

less than half full

empty


Solution

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.


5

Resistance is measured in:

86% Answer Correctly

ohms

volts

amperes

coulombs


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.
