AET NCATT Questions with CORRECT Answers
Question:
Ampere (A, amp, amperage) - Unit of measurement used to express the flow of
electrons (electrical current). One ampere is a rate of flow of one coulomb (6.28 billion
Answer:
billion electrons) passing a given point in an electrical circuit per second. In
mathematical problems amperage is expressed by the letter "I".
Question:
Battery
Answer:
A device consisting of a number of primary voltaic cells (cells that cannot be recharged)
or secondary cells (cells that can be recharged) connected in series to obtain a desired
DC voltage. A battery stores chemical energy and makes the energy available in the
electrical form. Aircraft storage batteries are generally rated at 12 or 24 volts.
Question:
Capacitor
Answer:
Electrical component used to store electrical energy in the form of an electrostatic field.
Question:
A capacitor is a device made of two parallel conductors separated by an insulator.
Conductor
Answer:
Common building block of electrical circuits that easily permits the movement of
electrons from an electrical source to a load and back to the electrical source with a
minimum of resistance.
Question:
A conductor's resistance depends on such factors as cross sectional area, length,
temperature, and conductor material. Coulomb
Answer:
Basic unit of electrical quantity.
, Question:
A coulomb is equal to 6.28 billion
Answer:
billion electrons (6.28 X 10 to the 18th).
Question:
Current
Answer:
The flow of electrons through a conductor is known as current flow.
Question:
The rate of current flow is measured in amperes. Direct Current
Answer:
Flow of electrons in one direction throughout a circuit with constant voltage and current.
Question:
Direct current is caused by a constant difference of potential, both negative and
positive. Electron
Answer:
Negatively charged subatomic particles that are located and travel around (orbit) the
nucleus in an imaginary sphere or shell at the speed of light (186,000 miles/second).
Question:
Electrons are involved in the conduction of electricity. E.M.F
Answer:
The force that causes electrons to flow through a conductor
Question:
This force is abbreviated e.m.f.. The unit of measurement for electromotive force is the
volt. In mathematical problems voltage is expressed by the letter "E". Farad
Answer:
Basic unit of capacitance.
