Electronic (45 cards)
an electrical conductor is an element with blank electrons on its power orbit
less than 4
carbon and silicon are examples of blank
semiconductors
which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit
ampere
as temperatures increases
the resistance of the conductor increases
technician a says that a two wire variable resistor is called a rheostat technician b says that a three wire variable resistor is called a potentiometer
both
creating electricity by exerting force on a crystal is used in which type of sensor
knock sensor
a potentiometer a
three wired variable resistance is used in which type of sensor
throttle sensor
if a insulated wire rubbed through a part of the insulation and the wire conductor touched the steel body of a vehicle the type of failure would be called a
short to ground
if two insulated wires were to melt together where the copper conductors touched each other the type of failure would be
short to voltage
if 12 volts are being applied to a resistance of 3ohms blank amperes will flow
4 amps
how many watts are consumed by a light bulb if 1.2 amperes are measured when 12 volts are applied
14.4
how many watts are consumed by a starter motor if it draws 150 amperes at 10 volts
1500 watts
high resistance on an electrical circuit can cause
all of these
dim light
slow motor operation
clicking of relays
if the voltage increases in a circuit what happens to the current (amperes) if the resistance remains the same
increases
if 200 amperes flow from the positive terminal of a battery and operate the starter motor how many amps will flow back to the negative terminal of the battery
200 amperes
what is the symbol for the voltage used in calculations
E
which circuit failure is most likely to cause the fuse to blow
short to ground
the amperage in a series circuit is
the same everywhere in the circuit
the sum of the voltage drop in a series circuit equals the
source voltage
if the resistance and the voltage are known what is the formula for finding the current amperes
I=E/R
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
A only
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
1 amp
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
A only
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
A only
