Electrons flowing through a conductor produce a _____ around the conductor
Magnetic field
The deflection of an arc from its normal path due to magnetic forces
Arc blow
Flow of current in an electrical circuit where its direction, and thus direction of electron
flow, is constantly reversing, often at a set frequency.
,AC
The positive half and negative half of the AC together represent one complete cycle of
alternating current. This can be thought of as a ___
sine wave
what type of laser is used most in consumer and commercial products, but is not used to
such a great degree in welding?
semiconductor
SMAW
Most common electrode configuration for SMAW
DCEP
Most common electrode configuration for GTAW
DCEN
when using the gas metal arc process, ____ is the polarity of choice as it leads to greater
heat generation at the workpiece (cathode) and therefore greater penetration.

, The _____ cycle of an AC sine wave provides cleaning action to the welding arc
DCEP
The direct current, constant potential power sources used for gas metal arc welding
(GMAW) can be ____, ____/_____ or _____. The latter two types are more common since
