Delmar's Standard Textbook of
Electricity 5th Edition - Unit 6: Series
Circuits
Series Circuit - correct answer ✔A circuit that conains only path for current
flow
Fuse - correct answer ✔Devices used to protect a circuit or electric device
from excessive current. Fuses operate by melting a metal link when current
becomes excessive
Circuit Breaker - correct answer ✔Devices designed to open under an
abnormal amount of current flow. These devices are not damaged and may
be used repeatedly. Rated by voltage, current, and horsepower
Voltage Drop - correct answer ✔The amount of voltage required to cause an
amount of current to flow through a certain resistance
Voltage Polarity - correct answer ✔The polarity of the coltage at a particular
point in a circuit. Generally of concern in direct current circuits
Earth Ground - correct answer ✔A ground established by driving a metal rod
into the earth
Ground Point - correct answer ✔The point at which a grounding conductor is
attached
Chassis Ground - correct answer ✔Ground connection to the case of a piece
of equipment
