1. What is Energy?

 Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Energy can be found in many things and can take
different forms. For example, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and
potential energy is energy due to an object's position or structure.

2. What type of energy does a rolling stone have?

 Kinetic energy

3. What kind of energy does the stone have if it is at rest at the top of a hill?

 Potential energy and Kinetic energy

4. What term describes voltage or emf?

 ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE

5. Convert 3.7 kV to volts.

 3700 volts

6. Express the following values in more simple terms:

a) 160,000 volts

 160 kV

b) 350,000 volts

 350 kV

c) 475,000,000 micro volts

 475 V

d) 0.005 millivolt

 0.000005

7. Any device that supplies voltage is commonly referred to by what name?

 Power supply

8. Enumerate the six methods of producing a voltage.

 1. FRICTION—Voltage produced by rubbing certain materials together.

2. PRESSURE (piezoelectricity)—Voltage produced by squeezing crystals of certain substances.
 3. HEAT (thermoelectricity)—Voltage produced by heating the joint (junction) where two unlike
metals are joined.
4. LIGHT (photoelectricity)—Voltage produced by light striking photosensitive (light sensitive)
substances.
5. CHEMICAL ACTION—Voltage produced by chemical reaction in a battery cell.
6. MAGNETISM—Voltage produced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a
magnetic field, or a magnetic field moves through the conductor in such a manner as to cut the
magnetic lines of force of the field.

9. Piezoelectric effect is an example of a voltage being produced by what method?

 Pressure

10. A thermocouple is a device that produces voltage by what method?

 HEAT (thermoelectricity)

11. A battery is an example of generating voltage by what method?

 CHEMICAL ACTION

12. What is the relationship between voltage and current in a circuit?

 The relationship between voltage and current in a circuit is, if we increase the voltage, the
current goes up, and similarly, if we decrease the voltage, the current goes down. This means
that if the voltage is high the current is high, and if the voltage is low the current is low.

13. Convert 650 mA to amperes

 0.65 amperes

14. What is the international symbol for Ohm?

 Ω

15. Which wire has the least resistance?

a) Copper wire 10 inches long with a diameter of 1000 mils.

b) Copper wire 8 inches long with a diameter of 2000 mils.

16. Which temperature coefficient indicates a material whose resistance increases with the increase

in temperature?

 POSITIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT.

17. What term describes a material whose resistance remains relatively constant with changes in

temperature?

 ZERO TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT

18. Which temperature coefficient indicates a material whose resistance decreases with an increase

in temperature?

 NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT.

19. What is the unit of conductance and what other term is sometimes used?

 The unit of conductance is the MHO (G), which is ohm spelled backwards. Recently the term
mho has been redesignated SIEMENS (S).

20. What is the relationship between conductance and resistance

 The relationship that exists between resistance (R) and conductance (G) or (S) is a reciprocal
one. A reciprocal of a number is one divided by that number. In terms of resistance and
conductance.
