Questions and Answers

What does the symbol 'V' represent in the context of electricity?

  • Volts (correct)
  • Kilowatt Hours
  • Efficiency
  • Resistance
  • What is the formula for calculating current in a DC circuit?

  • 𝑰 = 𝑬 ÷ 𝑷
  • 𝑰 = 𝑷 ÷ 𝑬 (correct)
  • 𝑰 = 𝑷 + 𝑬
  • 𝑰 = 𝑷 × 𝑬
  • What is the formula to calculate power in an AC single-phase circuit?

  • 𝑷 = 𝑬 × 𝑰 × 𝑷𝑭 (correct)
  • 𝑷 = 𝑬 ÷ 𝑰 × 𝑷𝑭
  • 𝑷 = 𝑬 ÷ (𝑰 × 𝑷𝑭)
  • 𝑷 = 𝑬 × 𝑰 ÷ 𝑷𝑭
