(Ch 5)
These three parts make up an electrical circuit
What is voltage source, conductors and load
A multimeter is a device which combines these three meters into one package
What is voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter
This is the unit used to measure power
What is a watt
This is the direction current flows in a closed circuit
from positive to negative
In a meter, this are the colors to associated with the negative and positive terminals
what are red and black
In Ohms Law, this is what E or V is equal to
what is I*R
One device is used to measure current, the other measures resistance
What is a ammeter and ohmmeter
This is the equation used to determine power in a circuit.
What is P=IE
10,000 µW =_____ W
what is 0.01 W
The multiple of micro, which uses this symbol:
What is 1/1,000,000, or x10-6
In Ohm's Law, this is how resistance is calculated
what is R=E/I
Ammeters are placed in as part of the circuit so that this can flow through them
what is current
This is the given definition of power for this class.
What is the rate energy is delivered to or consumed by a circuit.
This is the voltage in a circuit with 3 amperes of current and 100 ohms of resistance
What is 300 V
Sometimes confused with micro, this symbol uses the lowercase letter m and and has a multiple of 1/1,000 or x10-3
What is milli
Kirchhoff s Current Law
What is the algebraic sum of all currents entering and leaving a junction is equal to zero
What are digital and analog multimeters called?
What is DMM and VOM
This is the voltage (E) in a circuit when the power (P) is 1000 W and the current (I) is 10 A
what is 100
Number of amps in a circuit with 12 volts applied through a resistance of 2400 ohms?
What is 0.005 A or 5mA
Unit of measurement defined by a Capital M and equals 1,000,000 or x106
What is Mega
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law
What is the algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed circuit equals zero.
What is the sum of all the voltage drops in a closed circuit will equal the source voltage
when this happens in a voltmeter, you would want to reverse the leads
What is reading in the reverse direction
P = 100 watts
I = ?
E = 120 volts
What is 0.83 amperes
This is the resistance (R) required to limit current flow (I) to 20 mA with 24 volts (V) is applied
what is 1200
This is what the letters in S.T.E.M. stand for
What is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
