Canada: Electrical Study Guide
Electricity - Answer energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor
Circuit - Answer an electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow
Hot Wire - Answer to start the engine of a vehicle by short-circuiting the ignition
Neutral Wire - Answer pathway for electrons to return to energy source - green
Ground Wire - Answer sends leaking electrons to ground to prevent shock - black
Volts - Answer measures the push of electricity through a conductor
Amps - Answer Measurement of the amount of electric current, the number of electrons that
pass a given point at a given time
Resistance - Answer an electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current
Ohms - Answer are a unit of measurement of electrical resistance. Resistance is the
opposition of the flow of something
ohmmeter - Answer a meter for measuring electrical resistance in ohms
Watts - Answer unit for power
Kilowatts - Answer large amounts of electric power are measured in?
kwh - Answer kilowatt per hour
Outlet - Answer activity that releases or expresses creative energy or emotion
Plug - Answer electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of an internal-combustion
engine and ignites the gas by means of an electric spark
Switch - Answer cause to go on or to be engaged or set in operation
