- Q1Which of the following statements most accurately compares a motor and a generator?A generator converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a motor converts mechanical energy into electrical energyA motor needs electricity to turn and a generator produces electrical energy when turnedA motor produces chemical energy (stored in a battery) and a generator produces mechanical energyA motor and a generator perform the same function60s
- Q2Which of the following best explains the flow of electricity?Renegade neutrons continuously displace protons within the nucleus of atoms causing the charge of each atom to switch from positive to negativeA proton collides with an electron in an atom and pushes the electron from its orbit to the next higher orbit creating a chain reactionA proton moves from the nucleus of one atom to another, changing the atoms charge and attracting electrons from surrounding atomsAn electron from another atom collides with a valence electron and pushes the valence electron to another atom60s
- Q3When building a circuit, a diode would accomplish which of the following functions?Limit or restrict the flow of electricityAllow the manual connection or disconnection of a component or circuitPermit current to flow through it in only one directionChange resistance with a change in light intensity60s
- Q4Which of the following best explains why, in the combination circuit, the two bulbs to the left are dimmer than the bulb at the bottom of the image?The bulbs are not working properlyThe resistance of each of the dimmer bulbs is greater than the resistance of the bottom bulbEach of the two bulbs on the left have a lower current flow than the bulb at the bottomThe current is lost as it flows through the bulb on the bottom before it reaches the bulbs on the left120s
