Electric Circuits

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Define direct current (DC).   Current flowing in ONE direction.  
🗑
What are the 3 components of an electric current?   Battery, conductor, Load/resistance  
🗑
What does a voltmeter do?   Measures the POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE between any two points in a circuit.  
🗑
What does an ammeter do?   Measures amps and is connected in series in the circuit.  
🗑
What is the formula for OHM's Law?   V = I x R  
🗑
Define series circuit.   Electric circuit whose component parts are arranged end-to-end so that the current passes consecutively through each part.  
🗑
What is the formula for a volt circuit series?   V(t) = V(1) + V(2) + V(3)  
🗑
What is the formula for an amp circuit series?   I(t) = I(1)/R = I(2)/R = I(3)/R  
🗑
What is the formula for a ohm circuit series?   R(t) = R(1) + R(2) + R(3)  
🗑
Define parallel circuit.   Component parts are connected as branches of main circuit so that current is divided among them.  
🗑
Define power.   The electric energy expended per second.  
🗑
What is the formula for power?   P = I*V  
🗑
What is the UNIT for power?   Watt  
🗑
What is the formula for the amp parallel circuit?   I = i1/R + i2/R + i3/R  
🗑
What is the formula for the voltage parallel circuit?   V = v1 = v2 = v3  
🗑
What is the formula for the resistance parallel circuit?   R = r1 + r2 + r3  
🗑
What circuit device must be connected in parallel?   Voltmeter  
🗑
What are the required indicators on the x-ray exposure switch?   Audible, Visible  
🗑
Where in the basic x-ray circuit is the timer located?   Between the exposure switch and step-up transformer  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
