1

Which of the following is not a terminal on a transistor?

59% Answer Correctly

base

emitter

input

collector


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.


2

Which of the following is a difference between a circuit breaker and a fuse?

80% Answer Correctly

a circuit breaker can be reused

all of these

a fuse is cheaper than a circuit breaker

a fuse responds more quickly than a circuit breaker


Solution

Like fuses, circuit breakers stop current flow once it reaches a certain amount. They have the advantage of being reusable (fuses must be replaced when "blown") but respond more slowly to current surges and are more expensive than fuses.


3

What is the voltage of most household electrical systems in the United States?

59% Answer Correctly

60V

110V

220V

60Hz


Solution

Most households use electricity with a voltage of 110V.


4

Which of the following is not a common type of battery?

41% Answer Correctly

wet cell

power-cycle

dry cell

deep-cycle


Solution

Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of direct current (DC) is a battery. The three most common types of batteries are dry cell (used in small devices like TV remotes), wet cell (used for cars), and deep-cycle (storage batteries used primarily for backup and emergency power).


5

The formula specifying Ohm's law is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

\(V = {I \over R}\)

\(V = {R \over I}\)

V = I2R

V = IR


Solution

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