100
capacitance is measured in it
What is a farad
100
two ways to know the negative side of a capacitor
What are shorter leg and stripe
100
the formula for the frequency of a wave when the time it takes to complete 1 wave is known.
What is 1/T (1 divided by the period of the wave)
100
output of an AND chip when all inputs are logic high
What is logic high
200
both components are sensitive to heat
What are ICs and transistors
200
you connect the meter in parallel to the load with the power ON to measure it
What is voltage
200
the type of capacitor that has polarity
What is electrolytic
200
they both are what the frequency of a wave is measured in
What is Hertz or CPS (cycles per second)
200
binary value of 7, expressed in 4 digits
What is 0111
300
it stores an electrical charge between its plates, so it's dangerous
What is a capacitor
300
it has two inputs and provides a graphic representation of a circuit
What is a dual trace oscilloscope
300
it shows the negative side of a diode
What is a stripe
300
like a sine wave, they are (usually alternating current) wave forms
What is sawtooth wave, square wave
300
it always gives you the opposite of the input
What is a NOT gate (or inverter)
400
two ways that resistors are rated
What Ohms and Watts
400
it's equal to 1 Hp (Horse power)
What is 746 Watts
400
to get a battery or PV cell to increase voltage, you connect them this way
What is positive to negative (aka, in series)
400
0.707 times the peak of a sine wave
What is the effective value
400
in electricity, it's a circuit that is intentionally created to send pulses, like the output of a 555 timer or the one that creates a carrier wave for radio, or the timing crystal on a motherboard
What is an oscillator
500
a semiconductor device that can be either a switch or an amplifier
What is a transistor
500
it's the DC equivalent of an AC circuit's voltage or current
What is RMS (root mean square)
500
it's the positive side of a capacitor symbol (curved or straight)
What is straight
500
it's the peak to peak voltage when the amplitude of an AC sine wave is 12.
What is 24
500
in an AC circuit, the point at which a capacitor and inductor both have the same resistance, and if there were no resistance in the conductors, the power would oscillate back and forth forever.
