1. What are the four basic
c units of elec
ctricity? Provide the variab
ble name and symbol, and unit name an
nd
symbol.
Voltage (V) is measured in volts (V). Current (I) is measured in amperes (A). Resistance (R) is
measured in ohms (). Power (P) is measured in watts (W).

2
2. Write the equation for Ohms
O
Law.
V=IR

3
3. Re-arrang
ge the Ohms Law equation
n to solve the
e following:
I = V/R

R = V/I

4
4. Power is equal
e
to volta
age times currrent. Add the missing inforrmation in eacch of the following power e
equations.
P=V I

P = R I^2

P = V2 /2

5. The yellow
w wire connec
cted to a pow
wer supply carrries 12V. If th
he power sup
pply provides 60W of powe
er to the
yellow wirre, how much current is pa
assing through
h the yellow w
wire?
5 amps

are 0.025 ohm

6. There are
e 3.3V passing
g through an orange powe
er supply cabl e, and there a
ms of resistan
nce in the
orange wiire. How much power is su
upplied to the orange wire by the powerr supply?
435.6 watts

7. A wire from the power supply is carrrying 120W of
o power and 2
24A of curren
