‘What is the impedance of an ac-series circuit consisting

A-22 ohms,

10 ohms.
3-77. Answer C. JSGT 3D, FGH
True power equals voltage times the portion of current
that is in phase with the voltage. Apparent power, on
the other hand, equals voltage times total current in
and out of phase with the voltage. When capacitance
or inductance is added to a circut, the current and
voltage are not exactly in phase. Therefore, true power
in a reactive or inductive AC circultis always less than
the apparent power.
3-78. Answer C. JSGT 3D, FGH
This is an application of the formula given for
computing impedance. Since reactance values are

potential during variations above nominal voltage, and

‘The most important characteristic of a diode is that it

Is lke an electron check valve that permits flow in one

To tum ona transistor, a small amount of current

3-88. Answer A. JSGT 3E, FGH
In order for current to flow in a transistor, the
cemitter-base junction must be forward-biased. Forward
biasing requires the base of an NPN transistor to
be positive with respect to the emitter, which is
true in llustration 1. Positive charge flow defines
the current flow as being from positive to negative,
which is also depicted in ilustration 1. lustration
2is incorrect because the emitter-base junction is
reverse biased and no current can flow. Ilustration 9 is
incorrect because the emitter and collector on this PNP
transistor are connected backwards and no current can
flow.
