Topic 2: 200 Question: What is resistivity? Answer Resistivity is an intrinsic property of a material, which is a measure of the conductive ability of the material. The lower the value, the more conductive the material is.

Topic 2: 400 Question: What is a resistor? Answer A component in an electrical circuit, which “resists” the flow of electrons.

Topic 2: 600 Question: What is Resistance? Answer The ratio of the voltage drop across a device to the current flowing in it. Or the hindrance to the flow of charge.

Topic 2: 800 Question: As the length of a conductor increases, its resistance will while its resistivity will. Answer Increase; remain the same

Topic 2: 1000 Question: Determine the resistance of a copper wire that is 2.00 meters in length and has a radius of 150.  m Answer 

Topic 3: 200 Question: Conventional Current is… Answer the flow of positive charge.

Topic 3: 400 Question: A 40 Volt battery is connected to a 20 Ohm resistor. What is the current flowing in the circuit? Answer 2 Amperes

Topic 3: 600 Question: 2 amperes of current is equivalent to how many electrons per second? Answer 1.25x10 19 electrons per second

Topic 3: 800 Question: A cloud transfers 25 Coulombs of charge to the earth during a discharge lasting 0.75 seconds. What is the current flow. Answer 33.3 Amperes

Topic 3: 1000 Question: A cloud transfers 10,000 Coulombs of charge to the earth during a discharge lasting 0.50 seconds. If the potential difference between the cloud and the ground is 25,000,000 Volts, what is the resistance of the atmosphere? Answer 1250 Ohms

Topic 4: 200 Question: How do you find the total resistance and voltage in a series circuit? Answer You sum up the individual values for R and V.

Topic 4: 400 Question: Adding another resistor to a series circuit will cause the equivalent resistance to… Answer Increase

Topic 4: 600 Question: A 2, 4 and 6 Ohm resistor are connected in parallel. Which resistor will have the greatest current and which one will have the least? Answer The 2  resistor will have the greatest current while the 6  resistor will have the least. Remember: Electricity follows the path of least resistance.

Topic 4: 800 Question: Determine the equivalent resistance for 3 identical 6  resistors connected in series and parallel Answer In series: R eq = 18  In parallel: R eq = 2 

Topic 4: 1000 Question: A 16 and 26 Ohm resistor are connected in parallel across a potential difference of 40. V. What is the current in the circuit? Answer 4.0A

Topic 5: 200 Question: Electric field lines go from to. Answer Positive to negative

Topic 5: 400 Question: The units for the electric field intensity are: Answer N/C or V/m

Topic 5: 600 Question: Conservation of charge means… Answer The total charge of a system is constant. It can neither be created, nor destroyed.

Topic 5: 800 Question: Explain why a neutral object can be attracted to a charged object. Answer Due to separation of charge. Electrons are either attracted to the surface or repelled resulting in a surface charge.
