If two equal-value inductors are connected in series, what is their total inductance?

  • Half the value of one inductor
  • The same as the value of either inductor
  • The value of one inductor times the value of the other
  • Correct Answer

What determines the inductance of a coil?

  • The core material, the number of turns used to wind the core and the frequency of the current through the coil
  • The core diameter, the number of turns of wire used to wind the coil and the type of metal used for the wire
  • Correct Answer
    The core material, the core diameter, the length of the coil and the number of turns of wire used to wind the coil
  • The core material, the core diameter, the length of the coil and whether the coil is mounted horizontally or vertically

What determines the capacitance of a capacitor?

  • Correct Answer
    The material between the plates, the area of one side of one plate, the number of plates and the spacing between the plates
  • The material between the plates, the number of plates and the size of the wires connected to the plates
  • The number of plates, the spacing between the plates and whether the dielectric material is N type or P type
  • The material between the plates, the area of one plate, the number of plates and the material used for the protective coating
