-Format: Multiple-choice / Flashcard

Question 1: Parallel Circuit

Answer:

loads are placed between two supply wires, so that they all get the same voltage.

Question 2: Step up Transformer

Answer:

has more turns of wire on the output side which creates a stronger output voltage than input voltage.

Question 3: Electricity

Answer:

form of energy that can travel invisibly through conductors.

Question 4: Voltage Drop

Answer:

how much electrical pressure is used in a part of the circuit.

Question 5: Voltage

Answer:

force that affects the rate at which electricity flows through a conductor (aka: electrical pressure).

Question 6: Transformer

Answer:

essentially is two electromagnets placed next to each other.

Question 7: Load

Answer:

anything in a circuit, such as a heater, a light, or a motor, that uses power.

Question 8: Circuit

Answer:

loop of conductors that takes electricity from its source to the load and back to the source.

Question 9: Circuit Rule

Answer:

Current is the same at all points in a series circuit.

Question 10: Motor

Answer:

changes electric energy into kinetic energy.

Question 11: Direct Current (DC)

Answer:

steady flowing type of electricity, produced by batteries and used in flashlights, boom boxes, and computers.

Question 12: Step Down Transformer

Answer:

the exact opposite of a step up transformer.

Question 13: Semiconductor

Answer:

Can act as an insulator or a conductor.

Question 14: Circuit Breaker Box

Answer:

(1) Breaks up the load in a building into a number of circuits. (2) Prevents excess current from flowing into the circuits.

Question 15: Series Circuit

Answer:

All moving electrons pass through every part of the circuit, to include all loads and switches.

Question 16: Electric Power

Answer:

amount of power consumed by an electrical device.

Question 17: Ohms Law

Answer:

Describes the relationship between voltage, amperage, and Ohms: A = V/ ?.

Question 18: Frequency

Answer:

number of complete alternations from one direction to the other and then back again, that alternating current makes per second.

Question 19: Amperes

Answer:

represents current strength.

Question 20: Finding Resistance in a Circuit

Answer:

Series - add the resistance of each load; Parallel - add the inverses of the resistance.

Question 21: Generator

Answer:

changes kinetic energy into electric energy.

Question 22: Diodes

Answer:

Devices that allow a current to flow in one direction only.

Question 23: Insulator

Answer:

a material that resists the flow of electrons.

Question 24: Alternating Current (AC)

Answer:

type of current that changes direction many times per second.

Question 25: The Law of Electrical Power

Answer:

used to calculate the amount of power consumed by an electrical or electronic device: W= V x A.

Question 26: Electromagnet

Answer:

a current passing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Question 27: Ohms

Answer:

represents the measurement of the resistance in any circuit.

Question 28: Transistors

Answer:

Device that can switch a current, regulate its flow, or amplify a current.

Question 29: Electric Current

Answer:

the amount of electrons flowing through a conducting material.
