Electrical/Electronics
The electrons flowing through a circuit
What are amps/current?
The material attached to the backing plate for the brakes
What is friction material?
The fluid used to reduce friction in the internal combustion engine
What is engine oil?
Helps absorb shock from the road surface
What are shocks/struts?
Used to push the refrigerant through the system
What is a/c compressor?
The loss of continuity in an electrical circuit
What is an open circuit fault?
says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
What is Pascals Law?
Main (3) attributes needed for an internal combustion engine to run
What are air, fuel, and ignition?
The component that helps the vehicle suspension bounce back
What are coil springs/leaf springs?
This creates the high side/ low side pressure differential in the a/c system
What is fixed orifice or expansion valve?
Used to measure voltage drop
What is a voltmeter/multimeter?
Must have a high boiling point, Must have a constant viscosity through a wide range of temperatures, Must not deteriorate.

What is gas or fluid?
Changes state from gas to liquid while operating through the system
What is refrigerant?
This is measured to verify the integrity of the wire/circuit
What are ohms/resistance?
Has a purple color rather than amber like its counter parts
What is Dot 5?
Carries blow by gases back into the intake to prevent pressure build up in the crankcase
What is the PCV ( positive crankcase ventilation )?
Helps to stabilize the suspension while making aggressive turns
What is stabilizer bar?
Controls the speed of the blower motor
What is the resistor?
Wiring combinations as viewed through a diagram
What are series circuit, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits?
The energy that is used in order to convert kinetic into potential
What is heat energy?
The (3) main jobs of the engine oil are to
