What is Power Control in electrical systems?

Back

Power Control refers to the management of electrical power flow in a circuit, ensuring that devices receive the correct voltage and current for optimal operation.

Front

What is Ground Control in electrical systems?

Back

Ground Control involves establishing a common return path for electric current, ensuring safety and stability in electrical circuits.

Front

In a series circuit, how is total resistance calculated?

Back

Total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of all individual resistances: R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

Front

What happens to amperage in a series circuit when more loads are added?

Back

In a series circuit, adding more loads increases total resistance, which decreases the overall amperage according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R).

Front

What color identifies High Voltage (HV) cables?

Back

High Voltage (HV) cables are identified by the color orange.

Front

What is the function of terminal 71 in a car's dashboard wiring?

Back

Terminal 71 is designated as a Control terminal, used for managing various electrical functions in the dashboard.

Front

What is the predicted voltage (V) at point F with an open external switch?

Back

The predicted voltage (V) at point F with an open external switch is 0 volts.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R): I = V/R.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected end-to-end, and the same current flows through all components. In a parallel circuit, components are connected across common points, and the voltage across each component is the same.

Front

What is the role of a fuse in an electrical circuit?

Back

A fuse protects the circuit by breaking the connection if the current exceeds a certain level, preventing damage to components.
