QUESTION #1 - FILL IN THE BLANKS

 

  1. Electricity is the movement of __________________ from one point to another.

 

  1. Voltage is measured in __________________.

 

  1. A(n) __________________ is a material that easily allows electricity to flow through it.

  2. Electric current is measured in __________________.

  3. __________________  is a material’s opposition to the flow of electricity.

  4. A(n) __________________ is a material that conducts electricity in certain conditions but doesn’t conduct in other conditions.

  5. Electrons have a __________________ charge.

  6. __________________ states that a voltage drop across a circuit is equal to the resistance times the current.

  7. Resistance is measured in __________________.

  8. AC stands for __________________ __________________.

 

  1. DC stands for __________________ __________________.

  2. The most common/famous semiconductor is __________________.

  3. A(n) __________________ is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it.

  4. A house plug provides __________________ current.

 

QUESTION #2 -
EQUATION MANIPULATION

 

Isolate for x in each of the equations below.  Remember that letters that are side by side as actually being multiplied together.

 

a)       p = xa

b)      xt = c

c)      34 + u = x

d)      x + y = V

e)      g = 2x

f)       h = 3x + 4

g)      2x = b + x

h)       g + 4x = 2x + 3

i)        abx/2 = 6

j)        ax + j = bt

Reminders:

 

1-Group all terms with an x into one term.

2-Place that term alone on one side of the equal.

3-Isolate x.
