A circuit contains three parallel resistors. Each resistor has 3 amps flowing through them.
What is the total current flowing through the circuit?

  1. 1 A
  2. 3 A
  3. 9 A
  4. 1.5 A

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

For resistors in parallel, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor.



A capacitor of 100 micro farads has a capacity of __________.

  1. 100 picofarads
  2. 10 picofarads
  3. 100,000,000 picofarads
  4. 10,000 picofarads

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A microfarad is 1 million picofarads. Therefore, if you wish to convert micro farads to picofarads, you have to multiply by 1 million. That means the answer is "100,000,000 picofarads" because 100 times 1 million is 100 million.



Impedance is represented by the symbol __________.

  1. XL
  2. R
  3. XC
  4. Z

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Impedance is the total opposition to current flow in a circuit. It has its own symbol, Z.



In electronics this symbol represents a __________.

  1. cathode ray tube
  2. diode
  3. resistor
  4. insulator

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The symbol shown represents a diode.



A junction diode is used for __________.

  1. rectifying power-line frequencies and lower currents.
  2. rectifying power-line frequencies and higher currents.
  3. rectifying higher frequencies at lower currents.
  4. rectifying higher frequencies at higher currents.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A junction diode has a larger surface area than a point-contact diode, therefore it can be used to handle larger currents at power-line frequencies.
