Unit 262-3 – Multiple choice practice exam

For resistors in parallel, the total resistance will always be:

• Larger than the largest value resistor

• Smaller than the lowest value resistor

• Equal to the sum of all resistors

• Equal to the sum of the first resistor and circuit voltage

Which defines power the best

• Power is proportional to the square of the time taken

• Power is done when a force is moved through a distance

• Power is the quality of the energy

• Power is the rate of consumption of energy

Which best defines work

• Work is the rate of consumption of energy

• Work is the quality of energy

• Work is done when a force is moved through a distance

• Work is proportional to the square of the time taken
