Questions and Answers

1.

What Binary number is 01110?
- A.
  
  10
- B.
  
  111
- C.
  
  7
- D.
  
  14
Correct Answer
D. 14

Explanation
The binary number 01110 is equivalent to the decimal number 14. In binary, each digit represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit as 2^0. Therefore, the value of the binary number 01110 can be calculated as (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0) = 14.

If an AND 2 input gates had an input of 1 0, then the output would be?
- A.
  
  0
- B.
  
  10
- C.
  
  1
Correct Answer
A. 0

Explanation
If an AND gate has two inputs, it will only output a 1 if both inputs are 1. In this case, one of the inputs is 0, so the output will be 0.

3.

The formula of P = ?
- A.
  
  P/R
- B.
  
  E/R
- C.
  
  I x E
- D.
  
  SQUARE ROOT OF E/R
Correct Answer
C. I x E

Explanation
The formula for P is obtained by multiplying the variables I and E.

What is the voltage of a Diode?
- A.
  
  7
- B.
  
  1
- C.
  
  2
- D.
  
  .7
Correct Answer
D. .7

Explanation
The voltage of a diode is typically around .7 volts. This is because a diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in only one direction. When forward biased, the diode has a voltage drop of approximately .7 volts across it. This voltage drop is necessary to overcome the barrier potential and allow current to flow through the diode.

Capacitors are a type of battery?
- A.
  
  Yes it can be used as a Battery
- B.
  
  No it only holds a small charge
- C.
  
  It is nothing like a Battery
Correct Answer
B. No it only holds a small charge

Explanation
Capacitors are not a type of battery. While both capacitors and batteries store electrical energy, they do so in different ways. Batteries use chemical reactions to generate and store electrical energy, while capacitors store energy in an electric field between two conductive plates. Capacitors can only hold a small charge compared to batteries, and they discharge their energy rapidly when connected to a circuit. Therefore, capacitors are not suitable for long-term energy storage like batteries.

6.

What is the color on a Resistor is for?
- A.
  
  To make the circuitboard look pretty.
- B.
  
  To make the circuits cooler.
- C.
  
  To know what size the Resistor is.
Correct Answer
C. To know what size the Resistor is.

Explanation
The color on a resistor is used to indicate its resistance value and tolerance. Each color represents a specific number, and by reading the color code, one can determine the resistance value of the resistor. This is important in circuit design and troubleshooting, as it allows engineers and technicians to select the appropriate resistor for a specific application and ensure the circuit functions correctly.

What are the three legs on a Transistor?
- A.
  
  Base, Diode, Collector
- B.
  
  Pin, Base, Collector
- C.
  
  Voltage in, Voltage out, Ground
- D.
  
  Base , Emitter, Colletor
Correct Answer
D. Base , Emitter, Colletor

Explanation
The correct answer is Base, Emitter, Collector. In a transistor, the base is responsible for controlling the flow of current between the emitter and the collector. The emitter is the source of electrons, while the collector collects the electrons and allows the current to flow through it.

An OR gate with two inputs 1 1 What is the Output?
- A.
  
  0
- B.
  
  10
- C.
  
  00
- D.
  
  1
Correct Answer
D. 1

Explanation
An OR gate with two inputs will output 1 if at least one of the inputs is 1. In this case, both inputs are 1, so the output will be 1.

Rate this question:
9.

Diodes are used for what?
- A.
  
  Reversing the voltage.
- B.
  
  Slowing down the amp.
- C.
  
  Let the voltage only go one way.
Correct Answer
C. Let the voltage only go one way.

Explanation
Diodes are electronic components that allow the flow of current in only one direction. They act as a one-way valve for electrical current, allowing it to pass through in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. This property makes diodes useful in a variety of applications, such as rectification in power supplies, signal modulation, and protection against reverse current flow.

In what way can you demagnetize a magnet?
- A.
  
  Soaking it in water for hours
- B.
  
  Heating it
- C.
  
  Hanging it outside for three days
- D.
  
  Beating it against a hard object
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer(s)
B. Heating it
D. Beating it against a hard object

Explanation
Heating a magnet can demagnetize it by disrupting the alignment of its magnetic domains. When a magnet is heated to a certain temperature called the Curie temperature, its magnetic properties are lost. Beating a magnet against a hard object can also cause the magnetic domains to become misaligned, resulting in demagnetization. Soaking a magnet in water or hanging it outside for three days will not demagnetize it. Therefore, the correct answer is heating it and beating it against a hard object.

Three things do you need for a circuit:
- A.
  
  Reading skills, Math skills, Computer skills
- B.
  
  Solder, Electricity, Bread board
- C.
  
  Power supply, Switching Device, Load type
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Power supply, Switching Device, Load type

Explanation
The correct answer is "Power supply, Switching Device, Load type." In order to create a circuit, you need a power supply to provide the electrical energy, a switching device to control the flow of electricity, and a load type to consume the electrical energy. These three components work together to create a functioning circuit. The other options mentioned, such as reading skills, math skills, solder, electricity, bread board, are not necessary components for a circuit.
