1

A transistor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?

68% Answer Correctly

safe

driveway

no trespassing sign

gate


Solution

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. A transistor acts as a gate or switch for electronic signals.


2

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

52% Answer Correctly

half full

full

less than half full

more than half 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.


3

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.


4 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 70 Ω and current is 10 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
2100 V
1400 V
700 V
1050 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 10 \times 70 \) = 700 V


5

Inductance is a factor in which of the following?

44% Answer Correctly

determining energy stored by a capacitor

an AC circuit

batteries connected in serial

a DC circuit


Solution

Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.
