CAPT Practice Test Exam ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Temperature - CORRECT ANSWER measure of how much particles are vibrating
Liquid to Gas - CORRECT ANSWER Vaporization (occurs at boiling point)
Gas to Liquid - CORRECT ANSWER Condensation (occurs at condensation point)
Solid to Liquid - CORRECT ANSWER Melting (melting point)
Liquid to Solid - CORRECT ANSWER Freezing (freezing point)
Solid to Gas - CORRECT ANSWER Sublimation
Conduction - CORRECT ANSWER transfer of energy (Heat) from warmer object to
cooler one by direct contact
Convection - CORRECT ANSWER when a fluid (liquid or gas) is unevenly heated or
cooled and energy is transferred through a resulting current
Radiation - CORRECT ANSWER transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves -
occurs when an object absorbs radiation
Kinetic Energy - CORRECT ANSWER energy related to motion
Potential energy - CORRECT ANSWER energy related to an object's position or shape
, Radiant energy - CORRECT ANSWER includes light, solar, thermal, heat, sound,
nuclear, electrical, chemical energy--depends of how hot object is
Electrical energy - CORRECT ANSWER caused by moving electrical charges
Chemical energy - CORRECT ANSWER stored in chemical bonds in an object
Static electricity - CORRECT ANSWER build up of either positive or negative charges
on an object or caused by friction
Series circuit - CORRECT ANSWER has a single loop, more than one light bulb, if
one bulb burns out then circuit is broken and all other lights go off
Parallel circuit - CORRECT ANSWER circuit with more than one loop and when a
light bulb burns out, the other bulbs remain lit
Electricity - CORRECT ANSWER the continuous flow of electrical charge (electrons)
Current (AMP/I) - CORRECT ANSWER rate of flow, the amount of electrical charge
that passes through any part of the circuit in a second
Resistance (OHM/R) - CORRECT ANSWER measures how hard it is for electron to
travel through the circuit
Voltage (V) - CORRECT ANSWER how hard the electrons are being pushed through
the circuit or the "electric pressure"
Current = - CORRECT ANSWER voltage/resistance or v/r
