Electronic Board Game Questions (Ohm's Law / p = iV)

Ohm's Law -
  1. Resistance is represented as “Ohms”, which is shown as what Greek symbol? Answer: Omega (Ω)
  2. This law (I = VR) was named after which German physicist? Answer: Georg Ohm
  3. Ohm’s law states these three things: volts, resistance, and what? Answer: Amperes
  4. Amperes represents the current, which is shown as this symbol. Answer: I
  5. Ohm’s law is the mathematical equation that applies the electrical circuits. Circuits come in these two types. Answer: Series/Parallel
p = iV -
  1. Power is represented with the symbol P. When shown with a number, it is represented as this. Also, it is the measurement for “rate of energy use”. Answer: watts
  2. If there is .5 amperes in a current, and 20 voltages powering it, what is the rate of energy (watts)? Answer: 10 watts
  3. If the rate of energy usage (watts) is 35; and the amount of amperes flowing is 5. How much volts do you need to make this circuit correct? Answer: 7 watts
  4. The formula for figuring out voltage is what? Answer: V = iR
  5. The formula for figuring out amperes is I = q (charge) / t (time). The formula for the charge of a single proton/electron is (+/-) 1.6x10^-19. There are 500 electrons flowing through a circuit over a time span of 8 seconds. What is the power of the amps of the circuit? Answer: 62.5amps
