  1. What is the formula for Ohm's Law?
    Voltage = Current times Resistance (V=IR)
  2. Explain engineering notation...
    • The product of a number between 0 - 999 and power of 10, with the power of ten between any multiple of 3.

  3. Give the solution using Ohm's Law for (3k)(6m).
    • (3k)(6m)
    • (3 x 103)(6 x 10-3)
    • (3 x 6)(103x10-3)
    • 18 x 100
    • 18 x 1
    • 18
  4. What is the formula for Watts Law?
    Power = Current times Voltage (P = VI)
  5. What is Vp mean when dealing with Sine Waves?
    Voltage Peak - either the positive or negative maximum voltage.
  6. What is Vpp when dealing with Sine Waves?
    Vpp = Voltage Peak to Peak - the voltage distance between the negative peak and positive peak.
  7. What is Vrms in Sine Wave?
    Vrms = Voltage Root Means Square - It is a value that is less than Vp.
  8. Describe cycles in sine wave...
    Cycles = One positive alteration and one negative alteration.
  9. What does frequency mean?
    • The number of cycles completed in a given amount of time.

  10. What is the formula for frequency?
    f = (cycle) / (time)
  11. What is Amplitude when dealing with Square Wave?
    Amplitude is Voltage.
  12. What does Risetime mean when thinking of Square Wave?
    The amount of time for the square wave to rise from 10% to 90% of full amplitude.
  13. What is falltime when dealing with square wave?
    The amount of time to fall from 90% of full amplitude to 10% of full amplitude.
  14. When dealing with square wave form, describe pulse width...
    The TIME between the leading and falling edge, measured at 50% of the full amplitude.
