B-005-03: Concepts of energy and power, open and short circuits

B-005-03-01: What is the word used to describe how fast electrical energy is used?

Power

Current

Voltage

Resistance



B-005-03-02: If you have light bulbs marked 40 watts, 60 watts and 100 watts, which one will use electrical energy the fastest?

The 100 watt bulb

They will all be the same

The 40 watt bulb

The 60 watt bulb



B-005-03-03: What is the basic unit of electrical power?

The watt

The ampere

The volt

The ohm



B-005-03-04: Which electrical circuit will have no current?

An open circuit

A short circuit

A complete circuit

A closed circuit



B-005-03-05: Which electrical circuit uses too much current?

A short circuit

A dead circuit

A closed circuit

An open circuit



B-005-03-06: Power is expressed in:

watts

volts

amperes

ohms



B-005-03-07: Which of the following two quantities should be multiplied together to find power?

Voltage and current

Inductance and capacitance

Voltage and inductance

Resistance and capacitance



B-005-03-08: Which two electrical units multiplied together give the unit "watts"?

Volts and amperes

Volts and farads

Farads and henrys

Amperes and henrys



B-005-03-09: A resistor in a circuit becomes very hot and starts to burn. This is because the resistor is dissipating too much:

power

voltage

resistance

current



B-005-03-10: High power resistors are usually large with heavy leads. The size aids the operation of the resistor by:

allowing heat to dissipate more readily

allowing higher voltage to be handled

increasing the effective resistance of the resistor

making it shock proof



B-005-03-11: The resistor that could dissipate the most heat would be marked:

20 watts

100 ohms

2 ohms

0.5 watt
