Test 1 Flashcards
Explains Volts
Potential difference, pressure , electromotive force
Explain Ohms
Resistance in the circuit
Explain Amps
Current flow, measure of all current flow
Explain the relationship with volts amps and ohms
When volts increase so does amps
When resistance increases amps decreases
6 ways voltage can be produced
Chemical - dissimilar metals in acid (battery)
Friction - static (no good)
Heat- pyrometer (pressure piezoelectric pressure with crystals)
Light - semi conductor absorbs light) solar panel
Magnetism deflects electrons flux lines (alternator and starter motor)
What is the proper way to check resistance in a wire
De energize, isolate , multi meter ohms
What is the proper way to voltage drop a circuit
Energized , get available voltage,
Test voltage drop between two point , test in parallel
What is the proper way to check current flow
Energized , meter on amps
Probes in series, measure between two branches , measure current flow
What would happen to power side and ground side with a bad connection
Dim bulb
A dim bulb draws more or less current
Less
What that shunt do
Takes a small sample
Test ohms in series and for amps
Is house voltage DC or AC
Ac squiggly line
Meter read is a 1 or OL
Out of range over limit
How to test a diode
Diode setting forward voltage to move through diode
Alternate method of diode test
Ohm meter
