current, voltage and resistance
Voltage divided by resistance
current
Current times resistance
voltage
A complete, unbroken path that charges can flow through
electrical circuit
If switch 3 and 6 were open, which device(s) would turn on?
A, B, C

An air conditioning system is calling for cooling and the compressor is running but the indoor (evaporator) fan is not running, which terminal on the thermostat will the technician most likely check?
G
Transformers are rated using this.
volt-amperes
Non-power-consuming, or power-passing, devices are commonly referred to as
switches
All control systems can be subdivided into this no matter how many controls there are.
control loops
Electronic controls are commonly called ____.
direct digital controls
These are usually housed internally inside the controller, convert the information from either analog to digital (A/D) or digital to analog (D/A) format.
signal converters
These driers use some of the same products that refrigerant driers use, silica gel or molecular sieve as an adsorbent.
desiccant
As a rule of thumb, the air leaving the evaporator will be about ___ than the air entering the evaporator.
17-20° cooler
