, What are the 3 parts of a circuit? Source - pressure difference
Load - does something; purpose of circuit
Interconnection - applies pressure difference of source across load
What does black represent in potentialling and looping Black = circuit status (e.g., switches/relays opened/closed; faults)
circuits?
What does blue represent in potenialling and looping Current flow (electron flow theory)
circuits?
What does red and green represent in potentialling and Red = positive potential
looping circuits? Green = negative potential
What does total amperage depend on? Total amperage depends on total loads or resistance of the circuit.
In a parallel circuit, what is the relationship between total Total current equals the sum of all branch currents.
current and branch currents? I_T = I_1 + I_2 + I_3
How does current behave in a series circuit? Current is the same at all points in a series circuit.
3 prime faults in electrical circuits Open
Short
Added resistance
What is an OPEN in a circuit? No continuous loop = No current flow
"OL" on multimeter
Possible causes of an OPEN Broken wire
Disconnected wire
Faulted load (e.g., burned out light bulb)
Types of shorts Internal short
Bypass short
Cross over short
Short to ground
Internal Short Load's internal resistance is less than normal
Bypass short Load's internal resistance is less than normal
Crossover short Two wires becomes connected that should not be.
Short to ground (STG) Unintended loop of current.
