1

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

76% Answer Correctly

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

V = I2R

V = IR

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


Solution

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


2 How would you connect 10 [9V 25A] batteries to achieve a combined power output of 90V 25A?
53% Answer Correctly
series
perpendicular
series-parallel
orthogonal

Solution

Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 90V 25A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 9V 250A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 45V 125A configuration.


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

Which of the following is the preferred method for splicing wires?

56% Answer Correctly

wrap in small gauge wire

screw-on connectors

soldering

wire crimps


Solution

Splicing is permanently joining two wires together. Splicing can be done with screw-on connectors or wire crimps but the preferred method for splicing is soldering. Soldering takes the most effort but results in a connection that is electrically and mechanically identical to the original wire.


5

All electricity is the movement of which subatomic particles?

89% Answer Correctly

protons

neutrons

electrons

nuclei


Solution

All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.
