1.

What is the function of a resistor in a circuit?

a)

To convert electrical energy into heat energy.

b)

To increase the current flow in a circuit.

c)

To limit current and control voltage in a circuit.

d)

To store electrical energy in a circuit.

2.

Explain the difference between series and parallel circuits.

a)

Series circuits have multiple paths for current, while parallel circuits have a single path.

b)

In series circuits, the voltage is divided, while in parallel circuits, the current is divided.

c)

Series circuits can operate independently, while parallel circuits cannot.

d)

Series circuits have a single path for current, while parallel circuits have multiple paths.

3.

What is Ohm's Law and how is it applied in circuits?

a)

Ohm's Law is V = I * R, relating voltage, current, and resistance in circuits.

b)

Ohm's Law states that current is equal to voltage divided by resistance.

c)

Ohm's Law is used to calculate power in a circuit as P = V + I.

d)

Ohm's Law only applies to alternating current (AC) circuits.

4.

Define the term 'capacitor' and its role in electronic circuits.

a)

A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy and is used in electronic circuits for filtering, smoothing, and energy storage.

b)

A capacitor is primarily used for generating electrical signals in circuits.

c)

A capacitor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

d)

A capacitor is a type of resistor used to limit current flow.

5.

What are the basic components of a transistor and their functions?

a)

The basic components of a transistor are the emitter, base, and collector.

b)

Anode, cathode, and gate

c)

Input, output, and ground

d)

Source, drain, and substrate
