What is a complete path that electrons travel from a power source through a load, such as a lightbulb, and back to the power source.
The current must start and finish at the same place.
Circuit
-
What must an electron travel through, Such as a lightbulb?
Load
-
A circuit that is continuous throughout is said to have what?
Continuity
-
Name the parts that a complete circuit contains
- 1. A power source such as a vehicles battery.
- 2. Protection from harmful overlads (excessive current flow).
- 3. The power path for the current to flow through from the power source to the resistance.
- 4. The electrical load or resistance, which converts electrical energy into heat, light, or motion.
- 5. A return path (ground) for the electrical current from the load back to the power source so that there is a complete circuit.
- 6. Switches and Controls that turn the circuit on and off.
-
What is a Vehicles battery known as?
Power Source
-
Resistance, which converts electrical energy into heat, light or motion.
Electrical Load
-
Usually metal body, frame, ground wires, and engine block of the vehicle for the elctrical current from the load back to the power source so that there is a complete circuit,
Return path (ground).
-
What is the name for any circuit that is not complete, or that lacks continuity, such as a broken wire.
Open circuit.
-
A wire (conductor) or component is shorted to voltage, it is commonly referred to as being what?
Shorted
-
What occurs when the power side of one circuit is electrically connected to the power side of another circuit?
Short-to-Voltage
-
What is a type of short circuit that occurs when the current bypasses part of the normal circuit and flows directly to ground?
Short-to-ground.
-
A defective component or circuit that is shorted to ground is commonly called?
Grounded.
-
established that Electric pressure (electromotive Force; EMF) in volts, electrical resistance in ohms, and the amount of current in ampres flowing through any circuit are all related.
Ohm's Law
-
