Actual Qs and Ans - Expert-Verified Explanation -Guaranteed passing score -100 Questions and Answers

-Format: Multiple-choice / Flashcard

Question 1: Electrical Power

Answer:

Electronics Information: The amount of energy delivered to and used by an electric circuit.

Power: Watts.

Question 2: Electromagnet

Answer:

Electronics Information: When a current is passed through a wire coiled around a ferrous material, the result is known as this.

Question 3: Magnetic Effect

Answer:

When a wire is introduced into a magnetic field, electricity flows through the wire and creates a magnetic field that repels a magnet. This effect is used to create energy through Electromagnetic Induction. If the wire is wrapped around an iron core and a current is sent through the wire, the iron become magnetized.

Question 4: Inductor (symbol)

Answer:

Electronics Information: It is the symbol seen here.

Question 5: current flowing through a wire the 3 influences

Answer:

the amount of voltage, measured in volts.the resistance to the current, measured in ohms.the amount of current, measured in amps.

Question 6: open

Answer:

switch is off, set to a position were there is an opening, a literal open space in the circuit were current cannot flow,

Question 7: Inductance

Answer:

Electronics Information: The circuit property that opposes any change in current.

Question 8: Electricity

Answer:

Electronics Information: The concept of this is defined as the flow of electrons along a conductor

Question 9: Amperes (A)

Answer:

represents the strength of a current

Question 10: Fuse

Answer:

Electronics Information: The symbol of this, seen here.

It is also a thin wire that will blow or melt if the current flowing through it exceeds a particular value.

Question 11: Inversely Proportional

Answer:

Electronics Information: As resistance in a conductor increases, current flow decreases, meaning that current and resistance are related this way.

Question 12: conductors

Answer:

conductors (copper and water) allows the electrons to move freely.

Question 13: Semiconductor

Answer:

an object that conducts electricity poorly at low temperatures, that control the flow of electricity in a circuit. this electrical device can amplify a signal.

Question 14: Ohm's Law

Answer:

the current in a circuit equals the voltage and inversely proportional to the circuit resistance.

Question 15: Magnetic fields depends on several factors

Answer:

Number of turns: if you increase the number of turns, you increase the field strength.

Closeness of the turns: the closer the turns, the stronger the field.

Amount of current: if you increase current, you increase field strength.

Material in the core:most coils are classified as either air or soft iron.

Question 16: air coils

Answer:

are usually wrapped around a piece of card board.

Question 17: Parallel circuits

Answer:

Electronics Information: An electrical circuit where the voltage is the same throughout the circuit, while current flow varies; with this arrangement, each load is wired in a separate path. If any one of these paths were to break or gap, current flow would still continue through the other paths, so there would still remain a closed circuit.

Question 18: Circuit Breaker

Answer:

Electronics Information: This device serves the same function as a fuse, but can be used multiple times.A device that automatically interrupts the electrical current, is an example of opening a circuit to control the current. when the circuit breaker trips, the electrical device can no longer operate.

Question 19: Battery

Answer:

It's the symbol seen here.

Question 20: Watt

Answer:

a watt measures power, the rate at which electrical energy is consumers or transformed into another type of energy, such as light or heat.

Question 21: Volts

Answer:

volts measure the difference of potential between two points. Voltage.

Question 22: Ferrous (iron) core

Answer:

Electronics Information: The magnetic field formed by a current-carrying wire can be strengthened by winding the wire into a coil around this kind of core.

Question 23: physiological effect

Answer:

Current produces this effect when it passes through your bicep (or any other muscle) and causes the muscle to contract. This effect is used in medicine.

Question 24: Capacitance

Answer:

Electronics Information: The ability of the capacitator to store charge, represented by the symbol C, and its unit of measurement is the farad.

Question 25: Negative side (of a battery)

Answer:

Electronics Information: This side of a battery has a huge excess of electrons and pushes them to the other side.
