Mechanical
This branch of mechanics deals with forces and their effects on bodies at rest.
What is statics?
This fundamental electrical quantity is measured in amperes.
Answer: What is current?
What is current?
This type of structure stores data in a linear, first-in-first-out manner.
What is a queue?
The product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force is known as this.
What is work?
A circuit component that stores energy in an electric field.
What is a capacitor?
The part of a computer that performs arithmetic and logical operations.
What is the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)?
This law states that stress is proportional to strain within the elastic limit of a material.
What is Hooke’s Law?
This law states that the algebraic sum of currents entering a node is zero.
What is Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)?
This sorting algorithm repeatedly steps through a list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order.
What is bubble sort?
This dimensionless number compares inertial forces to viscous forces in fluid flow.
What is the Reynolds number?
This type of signal changes continuously over time and can take on any real value.
What is an analog signal?
This asymptotic notation describes an upper bound on algorithm time complexity.
What is Big O notation?
In thermodynamics, this property is defined as the amount of energy not available to do work, often associated with disorder.
What is entropy?
In AC circuits, this quantity represents the opposition to current flow and includes both resistance and reactance.
What is impedance?
This process in operating systems allows multiple processes to share the CPU by switching tasks rapidly.
What is context switching?
