What is the unit of electrical capacitance?
Answer: Farad
Capacitance is measured in Farads (F), named after scientist Michael Faraday.
In a series RLC circuit at resonance, the impedance is:
Answer: Equal to the resistance only
At resonance in a series RLC circuit, inductive and capacitive reactances cancel, leaving only the resistance.
A transformer has 200 primary turns and 50 secondary turns. If the primary voltage is 120V, what is the secondary voltage?
Answer: 30V
Using the turns ratio formula: Vs = Vp × (Ns/Np) = 120 × (50/200) = 30V.
Which component stores energy in a magnetic field?
Answer: Inductor
An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through its coiled wire.
What does a forward-biased diode primarily allow?
Answer: Current to flow from anode to cathode
A forward-biased diode allows conventional current to flow from anode to cathode (positive to negative).
The process of converting AC to DC is called:
Answer: Rectification
Rectification is the process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
What is the function of a Zener diode?
Answer: Regulate voltage in reverse bias
A Zener diode is designed to operate in reverse breakdown to provide a stable reference voltage.
