1

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

68% Answer Correctly

gate

no trespassing sign

safe

driveway


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 n insulator is how full of electrons?

56% Answer Correctly

more than half full

less than half full

empty

half full


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.


3

The watt is a unit of measurement for:

78% Answer Correctly

energy

resistance

power

frequency


Solution

Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.


4 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 20 volts and current is 1 amps.
80% Answer Correctly
60 Ω
40 Ω
20 Ω
10 Ω

Solution

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

Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{20}{1} \) = 20 Ω


5 Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 30 Ω and current is 7 amps.
85% Answer Correctly
231 V
630 V
315 V
210 V

Solution

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

V = \( I \times R \) = \( 7 \times 30 \) = 210 V
