3. What is a conductor of electricty
4. What is a semi-Conductor? What is the most popular ingredient added to metal to produce a sem-conductor
5.What is a insalator?
6. Explain what we mean by a volt?
7. What is a series curcuit?
8. Why does a string of christmas lights go out if one bulb is burned out?
9. What is the resistance of a circuit that shows a voltage drop of 4 volts when a current of .5 amps is flowing thought it?
10.What current flows through and appliance if the voltage is 36 volts and the resistance is 18 ohms?
11. what is the voltage drop of a system if the amps 5 A and the resistance is 10 Ohms?
12. What are the three varaations of the forumla for resistance, voltage and current?
13. If a house ciruit is to be constructed to run 5 (100 watt) lights, how large must the breaker be?
14. The 4 best conductors of electricity in order of conductivity are?

Answer 1

1. Alternating current not circuit is a current that periodically changes its direction of flow. The 60Hz AC goes back and forth 60 times per second.
2. Direct current does not acclimate.
3. Conductor of electricity allows current to flow from a higher potential to a lower potential.
3. Semi conductors conduct only... you guess it one way. By using silicon as a substrate (Si) and by adding some impurities we introduce free electrons (donors) or create deficiency in electrons called holes. The N-material donates and is negative. Yes, this is why it is called N-material while P-material is positive. You put P and N material together and you got yourself a diode which is a basic semiconductor. To understand how it works youf=have to understand how the depletion layer works.


You did not expect me to answer it all.
Do some reading
Key words
Electricity, magnetism,

Okay one more

#13
P=IV
Amperage=I=Power(P)/Voltage (V)
I assume your house is wired for 120V
I=(5x100)/120= 4.17A
I would recommend a min 5 A breaker.

Have fun
