off road electrical cicuit service Flashcards
what is the point of the four point test method
to quickly isolate the electrical fault
after using the wester union wire repair you must
solder the repair to ensure a good connection
when splicing together two wires
the butt connector method or the splice clip are the most desired
after a repair has been made it should have
shrink wrap covering the connection
electrical resistance adds together in this circuit to form the total value
series
the current draw for this type of circuit add together to form the total current draw for the entire circuit
parallel
in a series circuit current will be
the same at all point of the circuit
in a series circuit the sum of all the voltage drops will equal
the source voltage
in a parallel circuit the voltage applied to all paths
is the same
in a parallel circuit current flow through each path is determined by
the resistance in the voltage applied in each path
if I was to add resistance to a parallel circuit, total resistance would
decrease
removing resistance in a parallel circuit the total resistance would
increase
the total equivalent resistance of a parallel circuit will
always be less then the smallest resistance in the circuit
kirchhoffs law
the sum of electrical currents flowing away from any point in a electrical circuit must be the same as the current flowing towards . the sum of voltage drops is equal to the sorce voltage
what is an open in a circuit
a break in the electrical path
