digital lab scope - ✔✔Test Light
A technician is checking a circuit with excessive resistance. The current flow through
the circuit should be 10 amps, but a check with an ammeter measures only 6 amps. The
technician measures a voltage drop of 1.0 volts across the switch terminals when the
circuit is turned on. What is the resistance of the switch?

A technician is diagnosing the cause of an insufficient heat problem. He notices the fan
is working but not providing much air flow. He disconnects the fan power feed wire
and connects the fan to the battery using a fused jumper wire. The specification for the
fan motor is 16 amps. His ammeter shows 26 amps when the fan is jumped directly to
the battery. What could be the problem?
bad fan motor ground
high resistance in the fan motor wiring
shorted wiring in the fan motor

A technician is testing a circuit that uses a ground-controlled relay to provide power to
the circuit load. With the relay installed in its socket, the control terminal of the relay is
grounded by a jumper wire; nothing happens. Technician A says check the coil input
terminal for voltage. Technician B says connect a jumper wire between battery negative
and the output terminal of the relay to check if the load is the problem. Who is correct?
A only
B only
both A and B
