◉ Circuit Terminology, Short Circuit is? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: The pathway is shortened and electrons flow with little/no
resistance and bypass the load device (It gets very hot and just F***s
itself)
◉ Circuit Terminology, A load is? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Sum total demand placed on a circuit
◉ Circuit Terminology, Ground is? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Electrons flow via a common ground, no complete path
◉ Electrons will always take the path of LEAST or MOST resistance?
(ELECTRICAL)
Answer: LEAST (if u miss this u are a silly fellow)
◉ What TYPICALLY causes Electrical Fires in our PLANES?
(ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Short Circuits
,◉ Parallel Circuit is? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Electrons will flow even if the resistor fails, (If one fails they
still work) (Works the best for planes)
◉ Series Circuit is? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Electron Flow is dependant on resistor operation
(Christmas tree lights, If one fails they all fail)
◉ Switches, in Electrical is? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Used to turn circuits on and off (Basically Buttons)
Can be Mechanical or automatic
◉ What method do automatic/electric switches work?
(ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Use of solenoids/relays
◉ Why do we use remote switches? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Used to control the flow of electrons thru a circuit,
necessary to open/close circuit with a lot of power, like a battery
master
, ◉ When discussing remote switches in our Archer, a current will
ONLY flow if _____ a solenoid or _____ a relay (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: CLOSE a solenoid and OPEN a relay, to allow current to flow
◉ What are BUS BARS for electrical? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Way to distribute/organize electrical components, based on
necessity/importance, similar to a powerstrip in a household
setting.
◉ Why are BUS BARS organized in a specific way? (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Used to isolate unnecessary components during emergency
settings, organized on similar components, with modern airplanes
having MULTIPLE busses
◉ COMPONENTS and BUSSES are protected by (ELECTRICAL)
Answer: Fuses and Circuitbreakers
◉ What's the purpose of FUSES and CIRCUIT BREAKERS
(ELECTRICAL)
Answer: FUSES and CIRCUIT BREAKERS used to protect against over
amperage of wires, which can become fire hazards, and these serve
as "automatic" disconnects to protect against over amperage
