EE Quarter 2 Exam

Exploration Education Q2 Exam Study Stack

QuestionAnswer
Explain why an atom can have a static charge. It gains or loses electrons, becoming negatively (gains e–) or positively (loses e–) charged.
Compare identical bulbs in parallel vs. series. Bulbs in parallel are brighter because each gets full voltage; series bulbs share voltage and are dimmer.
Two students push identical boxes the same distance, one in half the time—what is true? They do the same work, but the faster student produces more power.
When energy transforms, some is usually lost as… Heat (thermal energy).
“Mechanism” means… A system of parts working together in a machine.
A wedge is… An inclined plane that moves; used to split, cut, or push materials apart.
Electricity is… The flow of electric charges (electrons).
A resistor does what in a circuit? Opposes current, reducing the flow of electrical charge.
How does a balloon become negatively charged after rubbing on wool? It gains electrons from the wool.
Compound pulley systems are most effective for… Reducing effort force needed to lift loads.
A series circuit… Has one path for current; if one component fails, all turn off.
An inclined plane reduces required force because… It spreads the work over a longer distance, reducing input force.
Static charge occurs when… Electrons are transferred between objects.
Parts of a motor (simple motor from diagram in the book) A: Brush, B: Power Source, C: Fixed Magnet, D: Armature
Will the two atoms attract or repel? If both have similar charges → repel; opposite charges → attract. (Most exam versions show opposite → attract.)
Friction heats objects because… Surfaces rubbing convert mechanical energy to heat.
Pulleys are useful because… They change direction of force and/or reduce input force.
Circuit shown? Usually series (if one continuous loop) or parallel (if branches).
Relationship between force, distance, work? Work = Force × Distance.
Lubricants reduce friction by… Creating a smooth/low-resistance layer between surfaces.
A wheel and axle works because… A large wheel turns a small axle, multiplying force.
Correct use of “conductive”? “Copper is highly conductive, allowing electricity to flow easily.”
Power measures… The rate of doing work (work/time).
To increase an electromagnet’s strength… Add more coils, increase current, or use a stronger iron core.
Friction is… A force that opposes motion between surfaces.
A battery transforms chemical energy to… Electrical energy.
Mechanical advantage is… Output force ÷ Input force.
Changing magnetic field induces current—this principle is called… Electromagnetic induction.
A ramp allows less force but more distance, meaning… Work stays the same; force × distance trade-off.
Example of a second-class lever? Wheelbarrow.
In a parallel circuit… Components each get full voltage; if one opens, others stay lit; multiple paths exist.
Example of no work done? Pushing a wall that does not move.
“The technician calibrated the system.” Calibrated means… Adjusted/ set accurately.
Mechanical advantage ratio? Output force ÷ Input force.
Power of motor lifting 4000 N, 15 m, 30 s? Work = 4000 × 15 = 60,000 J; Power = 60,000 ÷ 30 = 2000 W.
Equation for Resistance V=IR
Heat is… Thermal energy transfer from warmer to cooler objects.
Define electrolyte A liquid that holds and electric charge

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.
