Material made of atoms that allow electricity to flow freely
What is a conductor?
An insulated conductor used to complete circuits in a vehicle
What is a wire?
An electrical safety device that breaks a circuit in the event of excessive current draw. Must be replaced once blown.
What is a fuse?
Tool used to measure resistance, Voltage, and current flow in a circuit
What is a digital multi meter?
A circuit protection device that breaks a circuit in the event of excessive current draw but can be reset.
What is a circuit breaker?
Unit of measurement for electrical potential difference/pressure.
What is a volt?
Electrical storage device used to supplement the battery
What is a capacitor?
Electrical current that alternates/reverses direction many times per second and regular intervals.
What is an alternating current?
A one way electrical check valve. Device that allows current to flow in only one direction.
What is a diode?
Unit of measurement for electrical resistance.
What is an OHM?
Materials with high resistivity to electrical flow
What is an insulator?
Comprised of branches giving current multiple paths to travel.
What is a parallel circuit?
All Components of the circuit are connected end-to-end to form a single path for current flow.
What is a series circuit?
Unit of electrical current flow.
What is an amp?
Complete circular path that electricity flows through
What is a circuit?
A circuit protection device hardwired in series with a load. Usually amperages over 30amps.
What is a fusible link?
Single directional flow of an electrical charge.
What is a direct current?
Electrical device that uses and small current to control a large current.
What is a relay?
Voltage loss throughout a circuit due to impedance/resistance. Usually at loads and connection points
What is voltage drop?
Formula used to calculate resistance, voltage, and amperage when 2 variables are known. (Current though a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points)
What is Ohm's Law?
An electrical component or portion of a circuit that consumes (active) electric power
What is a load?
What do you get when dinosaurs crash their cars?
What are Tyrannosaurus wrecks?
What kind of car does Yoda drive?
What is a "Toyoda"?
Why couldn’t the frog find where he parked his car?
What is because he had been "toad"?
What kind of cars do cooks drive?
What is a "Chef-rolet"?
