Radiographic Physics

Johnston, 1st Ed., Chapter 4

Ohm's Law: an electric circuit contains 20 amps and 6 ohms. What is the voltage? V = IR V = 20 x 6 V = 120
Ohm's Law: an electric circuit contains 100 volts and 15 amps. What is the resistance? V = IR R = V/I R = 100/15 R = 6.7 ohms
If a series circuit contains 3 elements each with 20 amps and 1.5 ohms, 2.5 ohms, and 2 ohms respectively, how many volts are contained in each element, and how many total volts are in the circuit? 20 x 1.5 = 30 volts; 20 x 2.5 = 50 volts; 20 x 2 = 40 volts 30 + 50 + 40 = 120 volts "Voltages are added in series circuits"
If a series circuit contains 120 volts, 20 amps, and has 3 elements with 1.5 ohms, 2.5 ohms, and 2 ohms respectively, what is the total current on each element? I (t) = I (1) = I (2) = I (3) Since the total current in the circuit = the current on each element, the total current is 20 amps and each element = 20 amps "Current remains constant in series circuits"
If a series circuit contains 120 volts, 20 amps, and 3 elements with 1.5 ohms, 2.5 ohms, and 2 ohms respectively, what is the total resistance in the circuit? R (t) = R (1) + R (2) + R (3)....... Total resistance equals the sum of resistances on each element. So, 1.5 + 2.5+ 2 = 6 ohms "Resistance is additive in series circuits"
A parallel circuit has 3 elements containing 8 ohms, 12 ohms, and 15 ohms. If the circuit contains 110 volts, what is the total voltage on each element? V (t) = V (1) = V (2) = V (3)..... The total voltage of a parallel circuit is equal to the voltage in each element of the circuit. Total voltage = 110 Each element contains 110 volts "voltage remains constant in parallel circuits"
A parallel circuit has 3 elements containing 8 ohms, 12 ohms, and 15 ohms. If the circuit contains 110 volts, what is the total resistance? 1/R (t) = 1/R (1) + 1/R (2) + 1/R (3) 1/R (t) = 1/8 + 1/12 + 1/15 15/120 + 10/120 + 8/120 = 33/120 R (t) = 120/33 = 3.6 ohms "Resistance in a parallel circuit is the sum of the inverse resistance values"
A transformer contains 1000 turns on its primary side and 200,000 turns on its secondary side. What is the turns ratio for this transformer? N (s)/N (p) 200,000/1000 200/1 or 200:1 "Direct relationship"

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
