A 120-volt circuit has a resistance of 12 ohms. How much current is present in the circuit?

  1. 0.1 amperes
  2. 10 amperes
  3. 20 amperes
  4. 1440 amperes

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A 120-volt circuit has a resistance of 12 ohms. A current of 10 amperes is flowing through the circuit (120 volts divided by 12 ohms = 10 amps).



When the secondary side of a transformer has more turns than the primary side, the output voltage will be _______________the input voltage.

  1. lower than
  2. higher than
  3. the same as
  4. the square root of

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When the secondary side of a transformer has more turns than the primary side, the output voltage will be higher than the input voltage.



How much power is being carried in a 220-volt circuit when the current is 10 amps?

  1. 22 watts
  2. 220 watts
  3. 2,200 watts
  4. 4,400 watts

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

How much power is being carried in a 220-volt circuit when the current is 10 amps? 2,200 watts (220 volts multiplied by 10 amps = 2,200 watts).
