What is the power dissipated by a 10-ohm resistor carrying 2 amperes?
Answer: 40 watts
Power equals I squared times R, so 2^2 x 10 = 40 watts.
An inductor opposes changes in:
Answer: Current
An inductor resists changes in current by inducing an opposing voltage.
Which of these is a semiconductor device that conducts in only one direction?
Answer: Diode
A diode allows current to flow in one direction only.
What does GFCI stand for?
Answer: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
A GFCI is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter that trips on small leakage currents.
In a three-phase system, the phases are typically separated by:
Answer: 120 degrees
Three-phase power has phases offset by 120 electrical degrees.
What happens to bulb brightness if one bulb burns out in a series string?
Answer: All bulbs go out
A series circuit breaks completely when any one element opens.
Which tool safely confirms a circuit is de-energized before work?
Answer: Voltage tester
