(2) What are the two main categories of resistors? Briefly explain the
difference between them.

(3) In the resistor color code, what does each band represent?

(4) What is the basic difference between a rheostat and a potentiometer?

(5) What is a thermistor?

(a) energy (b)voltage (c)charge (d) current

2. The unit of energy is the


(a) watt (b) coulomb (c) joule (d) volt

(a) battery (b) solar cell (c) generator (d) potentiometer

4. Which one of the following is not a possible condition in an electric


circuit?
(a) voltage and no current (b) current and no voltage
(c) voltage and current (d) no voltage and no current

5. There is no current in a circuit when


(a) a switch is closed (b) a switch is open (c) there is no voltage
(d) both (a) and (c) (e) both (b) and (c)
6. Potentiometers and rheostats are types of
(a) voltage sources (b) variable resistors
(c) fixed resistors (d) circuit breakers

7. The dependent source in this figure is:


a. voltage-controlled current source
b. voltage-controlled voltage source
c. current-controlled voltage source
d. current-controlled current source

◼ True or False:

1. Circuit Elements can be classified into two types, namely, active and
passive elements.

2. An ideal independent voltage source provides a specified voltage.

3. Generators, batteries are the ideal voltage sources in circuits.

4. Electronic Power Supply converts the ac voltage to a dc voltage that


can be varied over a specified range.

5. An ideal independent current source is a passive element.

6. Wire-wound Resistors are used in applications require lower power


ratings.

7. Two basic uses for variable resistors are potentiometer and rheostat.

◼ Problems:

ampere?

(2) How many coulombs pass a point in 0.1s when the current is 1.5A?

(3) An energy source forces a constant current of 2 A for 10 s to flow


through a light bulb. If 2.3 kJ is given off in the form of light and
heat energy, calculate the voltage drop across the bulb.
(4) A stove element draws 15 A when connected to a 240-V line. How
long does it take to consume 180 KJ?

(5) A rechargeable flashlight battery is capable of delivering 90 mA


for about 12 h. How much charge can it release at that rate? If its
terminal voltage is 1.5 V, how much energy can the battery
deliver?

(6) If you need a 270ohm resistor with ±10% tolerance. What color
bands should you look for?
