Multiple choice

What is the relationship between electric current and voltage in a simple circuit?

  1. Current is directly proportional to voltage

  2. Current is inversely proportional to voltage

  3. Current is independent of voltage

  4. Current is proportional to the square of voltage
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In a simple circuit, the relationship between electric current and voltage is described by Ohm's law: (I = V/R), where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance. This means that current is directly proportional to voltage, as long as the resistance remains constant.

Multiple choice

What is the function of a transformer?

  1. To change the voltage of an alternating current (AC)

  2. To change the frequency of an AC

  3. To convert AC to direct current (DC)

  4. To store electrical energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. Its primary function is to change the voltage of an AC.
