TCI-T4E: Power calculations, units, kilo, mega, milli, micro

TCI-T4E01: What unit is used to describe electrical power?

Watt

Ohm

Farad

Volt



TCI-T4E02: What is the formula used to calculate electrical power in a DC circuit?

Power (P) equals voltage (E) multiplied by current (I)

Power (P) equals voltage (E) divided by current (I)

Power (P) equals voltage (E) minus current (I)

Power (P) equals voltage (E) plus current (I)



TCI-T4E03: How much power is represented by a voltage of 13.8 volts DC and a current of 10 amperes?

138 watts

0.7 watts

23.8 watts

3.8 watts



TCI-T4E04: How much power is being used in a circuit when the voltage is 120 volts DC and the current is 2.5 amperes?

300 watts

1440 watts

48 watts

30 watts



TCI-T4E05: How can you determine how many watts are being drawn by your transceiver when you are transmitting?

Measure the DC voltage at the transceiver and multiply by the current drawn when you transmit

Measure the DC voltage and divide it by 60 Hz

Check the fuse in the power leads to see what size it is

Look in the Radio Amateur's Handbook



TCI-T4E06: How many amperes are flowing in a circuit when the applied voltage is 120 volts DC and the load is 1200 watts?

10 amperes

20 amperes

120 amperes

5 amperes



TCI-T4E07: How many milliamperes is the same as 1.5 amperes?

1500 milliamperes

15 milliamperes

150 milliamperes

15000 milliamperes



TCI-T4E08: What is another way to specify the frequency of a radio signal that is oscillating at 1,500,000 Hertz?

1500 kHz

1500 MHz

15 GHz

150 kHz



TCI-T4E09: How many volts are equal to one kilovolt?

one thousand volts

one one-thousandth of a volt

one hundred volts

one million volts



TCI-T4E10: How many volts are equal to one microvolt?

one one-millionth of a volt

one million volts

one thousand kilovolts

one one-thousandth of a volt



TCI-T4E11: How many watts does a hand-held transceiver put out if the output power is 500 milliwatts?

0.5 watts

0.02 watts

5 watts

50 watts
