Supplementary Problems
Write the word or words which most correctly complete the following statements.
a. Common sources of energy used in electric circuits are batteries and
generators.
b. In a circuit, an incandescent lamp is treated as a resistive load.
c. The resistance element of a wire-wound resistor is made of nickel-chromium
wire.
d. The amount by which the actual resistance of a resistor may vary from its rated
value is called its wattage.
e. A large resistor of a given type has a higher power rating than a smaller resistor
of the same type.
f. A common resistor defect is an open or burned-out condition caused by
excessive current through a resistor.
g. The amount of resistance can be changed in a circuit by a variable resistor.
h. A variable resistor used to change the value of voltage applied to a circuit is the
potentiometer.
i. If the resistance of a circuit is doubled and the current remains unchanged, the
voltage will increase to twice its original value.
j. If a toaster rated at 1000W is operated for 30 mins, the energy used is 500 kWh.
