What is the unit of electrical resistance?
Answer: Ohm
The ohm (Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm.
Ohm's Law states that voltage (V) equals:
Answer: Current × Resistance
Ohm's Law is V = I × R, where V is voltage, I is current in amperes, and R is resistance in ohms.
In a series circuit with resistors of 10Ω and 20Ω, what is the total resistance?
Answer: 30Ω
In a series circuit, resistances add directly: 10Ω + 20Ω = 30Ω.
What is the unit of electrical current?
Answer: Ampere
The ampere (A) is the SI base unit for measuring the flow of electric current.
Which material is the best conductor of electricity among these options?
Answer: Copper
Copper has very low electrical resistance and is the most commonly used conductor in electrical wiring.
What device is used to measure voltage in an electrical circuit?
Answer: Voltmeter
A voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) between two points in a circuit and is connected in parallel.
