CCNA module 3 Flashcards
The basic unit of all
matter is
an atom
particles of an atom
Protons– particles that
have positive charge–Neutrons– particles that
have no charge (neutral)– Electrons– particles that
have negative charge and
orbit the nucleus
particles that
have positive charge
protons
particles that
have no charge (neutral)
neutrons
particles that
have negative charge and
orbit the nucleus
electrons
though usually
harmless to people, can
create serious problems for
sensitive electronic
equipment
Electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Electrical current flows in both directions; positive and
negative terminals continuously trade places (polarity).
Alternating Current (AC)
– Electrical current flows in one direction; negative to
positive.
Direct Current (DC):
property of a material that opposes the electrical flow.
Resistance:
total opposition to the current.
Impedance:
Force or pressure caused by the separation of
electrons and protons.
voltage
Graphs voltage over time
Oscilloscope
can refer to
the place on the
earth.
Ground
can also
mean the reference
point, or the 0 volts
level, when making
electrical
measurements
Ground
The type of connector most commonly used
with multimode fiber is the
Subscriber
Connector (SC connector)
