Energy Engineering 2

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 34 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then return via a common path to complete the circuit.






2. A machine for producing power in which a wheel or rotor is made to revolve by a fast- moving flow of water - steam - gas - or air.






3. A result of a force moving an object a certain distance.






4. The rate at which work is performed or energy is expended.






5. Changes one form of power to another.






6. Any source of energy other than fossil fuels that is used for construcitive purposes






7. A system that links electicity produced in power stations to deliver it to where it is needed.

25. The unit of potential difference symbolized as V.






26. Energy which a body possesses by virtue of bein in motion.






27. States that the direct current flowing in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit.


28. The potential difference measured in bolts. The amount of work to be done to move a charge from one point to another along an electric circuit.






29. The energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or nature or because of the arrangement of parts.






30. The use of heat from within the Earth or from the atmosphere near oceans.






31. Changing one from of energy to another.






32. The unit of electric resistance in the meter- kilogram- second system of units.






33. An energy source that will never run out.






34. The state when objects are not yet in motion.
