2.

Define voltage in terms of electric circuits.

a)

Voltage is the resistance offered by a circuit component.

b)

Voltage is the total current flowing in a circuit.

c)

Voltage is the amount of charge stored in a capacitor.

d)

Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit.

3.

What is resistance and how is it measured?

a)

Resistance is the opposition to electric current, measured in ohms (Ω).

b)

Resistance is the strength of electric current, measured in watts (W).

c)

Resistance is the speed of electric current, measured in amperes (A).

d)

Resistance is the flow of electric current, measured in volts (V).

4.

What are conductors and insulators?

a)

Conductors resist electric current; insulators allow electric current to flow.

b)

Conductors are materials that do not conduct heat; insulators are materials that conduct heat.

c)

Both conductors and insulators allow electric current to flow equally.

d)

Conductors allow electric current to flow; insulators resist electric current.

5.

Explain the concept of electric fields.

a)

An electric field is created only by moving charges.

b)

An electric field is a region around a charged particle where other charged particles experience a force.

c)

Electric fields only exist in vacuum and not in materials.

d)

An electric field is a type of magnetic field.

6.

What is the difference between a voltmeter and an ammeter?

a)

A voltmeter is used for AC circuits; an ammeter is used for DC circuits.

b)

A voltmeter measures voltage; an ammeter measures current.

c)

A voltmeter measures current; an ammeter measures voltage.

d)

A voltmeter measures resistance; an ammeter measures power.

7.

What is a semiconductor?

a)

A semiconductor is a non-conductive material used for insulation.

b)

A semiconductor is a type of metal that always conducts electricity.

c)

A semiconductor is a material that can conduct electricity under certain conditions, used in electronic devices.

d)

A semiconductor is a device that stores electrical energy.
