Circuit tester

A device used to test the presence of voltage in an electrical circuit.

Components of an electrical circuit

Power source, load, conductor, and control device.

Types of power supplies

DC power supply and AC power supply.

Schematic symbols

Visual representations of electrical components used in electrical schematics.

Manual switch operators

Toggle switch, push button switch, selector switch, key switch, and rotary switch.

, A device used to measure voltage in an electrical circuit.

Voltage characteristics in series and parallel circuits

In series circuits, voltage adds up. In parallel circuits, voltage is the same across all components.

Current

The flow of electric charge in a circuit. Unit of measurement: amperes (A).

Ammeter

A device used to measure current in an electrical circuit.

Current characteristics in series and parallel circuits

In series circuits, current is the same across all components. In parallel circuits, current adds up.

Ohmmeter

A device used to measure resistance in an electrical circuit.

Resistance characteristics in series and parallel circuits

In series circuits, resistance adds up. In parallel circuits, the total resistance is less than the smallest
resistance.

Continuity

The uninterrupted flow of current in an electrical circuit.

Metric prefixes used on DMM

Mega (M), kilo (K), milli (m), micro (μ).

Digital multimeter (DMM)

A device used to measure voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

Basic electrical units of measurement

Volt (V), ampere (A), ohm (Ω).

Series and parallel resistance

The calculation of total resistance in series and parallel circuits.

Ohm's Law

A mathematical equation relating voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.
