To cause a current of 10 amperes to flow through 20-ohm resistance, the voltage needed is ______________.

  1. 20 volts
  2. 1 volt
  3. 10 volts
  4. 200 volts

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Ohm’s law states that V = IR. V = 10 × 20 = 200.



Silver is a better conductor than copper. But copper is more often used because of ______________.

  1. the cost of silver
  2. the strength of copper
  3. the low melting point of silver
  4. the tendency of silver to tarnish

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Silver is a better conductor, but it’s prohibitively expensive.



Electronic circuits that produce high frequency AC are called ______________.

  1. amplifiers
  2. regulators
  3. transformers
  4. oscillators

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Oscillators produce high-frequency AC.



If you plug an appliance designed for AC into a DC power source, the appliance _________________.

  1. will operate normally
  2. will produce excessive heat
  3. won’t operate
  4. will explode into tiny pieces

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When DC is applied to an AC appliance, the amount of resistance is less, so more current flows through the wire and heat builds up.
