190104a Electrical Theory Flashcards
Voltage can be described as a ____ that causes electrons to flow
Pressure or force
How many volts are in a fully charged lead-acid battery
12.6V
Current can be described as
the amount of electron flow
Resistance can be described as
the opposition to the flow of electrons
resistance change is proportional to change in ______
length
resistance decreases as cross sectional area____
increases
how is voltage produced with electromagnetic induction?
conductor moves 90 degrees to a magnetic field. excess electrons at one end and shortage of electrons at the other end.
4 factors of resistance
Temperature, cross sectional area, length, material
If the resistance of material increases as temp increases, the material is said to have a
positive temp coefficient of resistance
if the resistance of a material decreases as temp ruses, the material is said to have a
negative temp coefficient of resistance
the vast majority of equipment temp sensors are positive or negative temp coefficient thermistors?
Negative
Voltage and resistance determine the amount of?
current flow
if voltage increases, current flow will?
increase
if resistance increases, current flow will?
decrease
