Electromotive Force
Correct Answer
A. CouloumbExplanation
The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb. It is defined as the quantity of electricity transferred along a conductor when a current of one ampere flows through it for one second. The coulomb is a fundamental unit in electromagnetism and is used to measure the amount of electric charge in a system. It is named after the French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, who made significant contributions to the study of electromagnetism.Rate this question:

- A.
Wattage
- B.
Couloumb
- C.
Watt
- D.
Electromotive Force
Correct Answer
A. WattageExplanation
Wattage is the correct answer because it refers to the amount of power required to operate an electrical device or appliance. It is a unit of measurement for power, specifically the rate at which energy is consumed or produced. Wattage is commonly used to determine the power capacity of electrical devices and is essential for understanding the amount of power needed for efficient operation.Rate this question:

The energy per unit charge available for conversion from a chemical, mechanical or other form of energy into electrical energy or vice versa in a conversion devise as a battery, generator or a motor.
- A.
Wattage
- B.
Couloumb
- C.
Watt
- D.
Electromotive Force
Correct Answer
D. Electromotive ForceExplanation
Electromotive force (EMF) refers to the energy per unit charge available for conversion from one form of energy to electrical energy or vice versa in a conversion device such as a battery, generator, or motor. It is a measure of the potential difference or voltage produced by a source of electrical energy. EMF is responsible for driving the flow of electric current in a circuit and is measured in volts (V).Rate this question:

A non metallic conducting medium in which current is carried by the movement of ions.
- A.
ELECTRODE
- B.
ANODE
- C.
ELECTROLYTE
- D.
CATHODE
Correct Answer
C. ELECTROLYTEExplanation
An electrolyte is a non-metallic conducting medium in which current is carried by the movement of ions. It is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in a solvent, such as water. The movement of these ions allows for the flow of electric current. Electrolytes are commonly used in batteries, fuel cells, and various electrochemical processes. Examples of electrolytes include saltwater, acids, and bases.Rate this question:
