ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
FUNDAMENTALS (INTERVIEW QUESTIONS)
100% CORRECT!!!!
, What is Ohm's Law? - ANSWER V=IR, it describes the relationship between voltage,
current and resistance
What is charge? - ANSWER Value for electricity flowing in a circuit
What is current? - ANSWER The rate of flow of charge
What is voltage? - ANSWER pressure that pushes electricity through an electrical circuit
What is resistance? - ANSWER opposition to flow
What happens when two positively charged particles are placed next to each other? -
ANSWER The charges will repel
What is a valence electron? - ANSWER a valence electron is an outer shell electron
that is associated with an atom
What is the difference between analog and digital circuits? - ANSWER Analog circuits
utilize continuous time signals, which means that an analog circuit has a response for
almost every single value on the time signal. Digital circuits utilize a digital signal, which
can only be represented as 0 (off) or 1 (on). There is only a response for these two
states.
How do voltage and current behave in a parallel circuit? - ANSWER Voltage stays the
same, current divides proportionally.
How do voltage and current behave in a series circuit? - ANSWER Voltage divides
proportionally and current stays the same.
What happens to current if the resistance in a series circuit doubles? - ANSWER The
current will be reduced by half.
What is DC current? - ANSWER Direct Current, a current that can only travel in one
direction
What is AC current? - ANSWER Alternating Current, a current that can change
directions
