Q

the sum of the voltage drop in a series circuit equals the

A

source voltage

20
Q

if the resistance and the voltage are known what is the formula for finding the current amperes

21
Q

a series circuit has three resistors of 4 ohms each the voltage drop across each resistor is 4 volts technician A says that the source voltage is 12 volts technician B says that the total resistance is 18 ohms which technician is correct

22
Q

if a12 volt battery is connected to a series circuit with three resistors of 2 ohms 4 ohms and 6 ohms how much current will flow thru the circuit

23
Q

a series circuit has 10 ohm a third bulb is added in series technician A says that the three bulbs will be dimmer than when only two bulbs were in the circuit technician B says that the current in the circuit will increase which technician is correct

24
Q

technician A says that the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit should equal the source voltage technician B says that the current (amperes) varies depending on the value of the resistance in a series circuit which technician is correct

25
two bulbs are connected in parallel to a12 volt battery one bulb has a resistance of 6 ohms and the other bulb has a resistance of 2 ohms technician A says that only the 2 ohm bulb with the least resistance and no current will flow thru the 6 ohm bulb technician B says that the 6 ohm bulb will be dimmer than the 2 ohm bulb which technician is correct
B only
26
calculate the total resistance and current in a parallel circuit with the three resistors of 4 8 16 ohms using any of the five methods
2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)
27
inductive ammeters work because of what principle
a magnetic field surrounds any wire carring a current
28
a voltmeter should be connected to the circuit being tested
in parallel
29
an ohmmeter should be connected to the circuit or component being tested
only when no power is flowing (electrically open circuit)
30
a high impedance meter
has a high internal resistance
31
a meter is set to read DC volts on the 4 volts scale the meter leads are connected at a12 volt battery the display will read
OL
32
what could happen if the meter leads were connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery while the meter and leads were set to read amperes
could blow am internal fuse or damage the meter
33
the highest amount of resistance that can be read by the meter set to the 2k ohm scale is
2000 ohms
34
if a digital meter face shows 0.93 when set to read k ohm the reading means
930 ohms
35
a reading of 432 shows on the face of the meter set to the millivolt scale the reading means
0.432 volt
36
technician A says that magnetic lines of force can be seen by placing iron filings on a piece of paper and then holding them over a magnet technician B says that the effects of magnetic lines of force can be seen using a compass which technician correct
both
37
unlike magnetic poles blank and like magnetic poles blank
attract repel
38
the conventional theory for current flow is being used to determine the direction of magnetic lines of force technician A says that the left hand rule shoulder be used technician B says that the right hand rule should be used which technician is correct
technician B
39
technician A says that a relay is a electromagnetic switch technician B says that a solenoid uses as movable core which technician correct
both
40
two technicians are discussing electromagnetic induction technician A says that there induced voltage can be increased if the speed is increased between the conductor and the magnetic lines of force technician B says that the induced voltage can be increased by increasing the strength of the magnetic field which technician is correct
both
41
an ignition coil is a example of
step up transformer
42
an ignition coil operates using the principle(s) of
all of the above electromagnetic induction self induction mutual induction
43
electromagnetic interference can be reduced by using a
all of the above resistance capacitor coil
44
a magnetic field strength is measured in
ampere-turns
45
two technicians are discussing ignition coils technician A says that some ignition coils have a primary and secondary windings electrically connected technician B says that some coils have totally separate primary and secondary windings that are not electrically connected
both
