Reading Reflection Questions

  1. Voltage is discussed as “electrical potential.” What does that mean?

  2. What is the equation that is discussed in this chapter?

  3. If resistance is held constant, and voltage goes up, what happens to current?

  4. If voltage is constant, and resistance goes up, what happens to current?

  5. What is the typical resistance (per foot) of 12/3 wiring in a home?

  6. What is the typical resistance (per foot) of 22 gauge wire (like we use in on our breadboards)?

  7. How many feet of 12/3 wire would you need to obtain the equivalent of a 220Ω resistor?

Write up your reflection questions and submit them before class.
