EIM REVIEWER (TLE) Flashcards
In the Ohm’s Law Pie Chart, what does WATTS stand for?
P
In the Ohm’s Law Pie Chart, what does AMPS stand for?
I
In the Ohm’s Law Pie Chart, what does VOLTS stand for?
E
In the Ohm’s Law Pie Chart, what does OHMS stand for?
R
Is what flows on a wire or conductor like water flowing down a river.
Current
Symbol of Current?
I
How is current measured?
(A) amperes or amps.
TRUE OR FALSE. Current flows from negative to positive on the surface of a conductor.
TRUE
Is the difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit.
Voltage (E)
How is VOLTAGE measured?
(V) volts
Determines how much current will flow through a component.
Resistance
What is the symbol of RESISTANCE?
R
TRUE OR FALSE. Resistors are used to control voltage and current levels.
TRUE
What is the difference of a HIGH resistance to a LOW resistance?
High resistance - allows a small amount of current to flow.
Low resistance - allows a large amount of current to flow.
How is Resistance measured?
Ohms
Is the amount of current times the voltage level at a given point measured in wattage or watts.
Power
Symbol of POWER?
P
a unit of measure of electric current
Ampere
the path of electric current from the source to the components and goes back to the source.
Circuit
a unit of power which is equivalent to 1000w
Kilowatt
a wire or a cord which provides path for current flow
Conductor
the quality of electric current measured in ohms that resist the flow of current
Resistance
a wire through which current flows
Hot wire
material used to cover electric wires which may be made from plastic rubber, or asbestos.
Insulator
are implements used to modify raw materials for human use
Tools
commonly known as flexible non-metallic conduit or the “moldflex”
(CPC) Corrugated plastic conduit
Metal raceways
Metallic Conduits
Metallic Conduits are classified into 4 what are they?
- (RSC) rigid steel conduit
- (IMC or IMT) intermediate metallic conduit or tubing
- (EMC or EMT) electrical metallic conduit or tubing
- (FMC) flexible metallic conduit
