1. can you define and test a ground?: a ground is a point in the circuit that is
connected to the earth. you can use a multimeter-If the resistance is too high,
it may indicate that the ground connection is not providing adequate protection
2. electrical safety rules: 1.Always use a circuit tester or voltage detector to
check that a circuit is de-energized before working on it.
3. electrical safety rule: Never touch electrical wiring or equipment with wet
hands or while standing on a wet surface.
4. electrical safety rule: Do not operate electrical equipment that is damaged,
frayed, or otherwise in poor condition.
5. electrical safety rule: Use the correct fuse or circuit breaker for the circuit you
are working on.
6. electrical safety rule: Never remove or bypass the grounding prong on a
plug.
7. Electrical Safety: Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet adapters that
are not rated for the equipment you are using.
8. electrical safety: Do not overload circuits by plugging in too many devices or
using high-powered equipment.
9. electrical safety: Do not use electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions
unless it is specifically designed for that purpose.
10. electrical safety: Use properly rated and properly installed surge protectors
for sensitive electronic equipment.
11. electrical safety: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for using
electrical equipment.

12. purpose of lockout tag out: to prevent unexpected energization or startup of
machinery or equipment while it is being serviced or repaired.
13. state the two types of electrical current: AC and DC
14. how to use a circuit tester: To test a circuit, first locate the circuit breaker or
fuse that controls the circuit you want to test. Then, using the circuit tester,
touch the red probe to the live wire and the black probe to the neutral or
ground wire.
15. what is a power source: The power source is the source of electrical energy
for the circuit. It can be a battery, a generator, or a power outlet. The power
source provides the electrical current that flows through the circuit.
16. what is a conductor: The conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow
through it, such as a wire. The conductor carries the electrical current from the
power source to the load.
17. what is a load: The load is the device or appliance that is being powered by
the circuit. It can be a light bulb, a motor, or any other device that uses
electricity. The load converts the electrical energy from the circuit into some
other form of energy, such as light or motion.
18. what is a switch: The switch is a device that is used to control the flow of
electrical current in the circuit. It can be used to turn the circuit on or off,
allowing the load to be powered or de-powered as needed.
19. two types of power supplies and schematic symbol: AC and DC
