What is the role of valence electrons in distinguishing between conductors and insulators?

• They determine the colour of the material.

• They are responsible for the magnetic properties.

• They influence the conductivity of the material.

• They affect the weight of the material.

How do alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) differ?

• AC flows in one direction, while DC changes direction.

• AC changes direction periodically, while DC flows in one direction.

• Both AC and DC change direction periodically.

• Both AC and DC flow in one direction.

Which law would you apply to solve problems involving current, resistance, and voltage?

• Newton's Law

• Ohm’s Law

• Boyle’s Law

• Kepler’s Law

What is a valence electron?

• A compound formed by the transfer of electrons

• An electron located in the outermost shell of an atom

• A material that allows electric charge to flow through it

• A material that resists the flow of electric charge

What is a key advantage of DC for electronics?

• Easy long-distance transmission

• Provides steady flow

• More dangerous at high voltages

• Voltage transformation

Alternating Current (AC) is the type of electricity commonly used in household mains power in Australia, where the current regularly reverses direction. True or False?

• True

• False

What is the unit of measurement for electric current?

• Volt (V)

• Ohm (Ω)

• Ampere (A)

• Watt (W)

How can energy used (E) be calculated in a circuit?

• E = P × t

• E = V × I

• E = I × R

• E = V / t

What is a characteristic of the current in a series circuit?

• The current varies at different points.

• The current is the same everywhere.

• The current is zero.

• The current increases with each component.

How is the total resistance in a series circuit calculated?

• By multiplying all resistances.

• By subtracting the smallest resistance from the largest.

• By adding all resistances together.

• By dividing the total voltage by the total current.
