What is voltage?
The electrical potential to do work.
Which of the following statements is reflected in Ohm’s Law?
Current is directly proportional to the EMF while the resistance remains constant
What is voltage drop?
When current flows through any conductor, there is a reduction in the EMF
What is the unit of measurement for a Charge?
Coulomb
A switch is a conductor that consumes electricity while performing an action (example motor turning)
False, it’s a load
E=IxR
T or F
True
What is the resistance of a heater in a 24V circuit with a current of 5A?
4.8 ohms
Electricity travels from positive to negative
False, it travels from negative to positive
If an atom gains free electrons it becomes a
Negative Ion
The greater the quantity of easily freed electrons, the easier it is for current to flow
True
