series curcuit
3. A simple has at least two loads.
The current flows along a single path and the com-
ponents are located one after another along this path
4. A simple , the voltage applied to

5. what do arrows indicate

6. Inside a DC power source (such as a battery) the
flow
electrons travel from the positive terminal to the
negative. Electrons traveling outside of the power
source (a circuit) electrons travel from the negative to the
positive terminal.

8. What are two types of electric current? direct current and alternating current
power source
9. In any completed circuit, it takes a force to push the
electrons through the , conductor,
and load. The two types of force to push the elec-

trons of electric current are direct current (DC) and
alternating current(AC).

(2) A device to which power is delivered. load
(3) The demand upon the operating resource of a
system such as a telephone exchange system or circuit
of garden lights.
11. The polarity from power sources
never changes; that is, the current flows out of the direct current
negative terminal of the power source in the same
direction
12. power sources produce a voltage and current that alternating curent
has a constant change in polarity and magnitude at a
constant frequency, back and forth in a con- ductor.
flow is produced by a gen-
erator or an alternator.
13. The rate of flow reversal is called frequency
14. Nearly all AC power systems in U.S.A. operate at a 60 cycles per second (60 Hz)
frequency of
15. When an alternator produces AC voltage, the volt- AC waveforms
age switches polarity over time, but does so in a very
particular manner. When graphed over time, the
"wave" traced by this voltage of alternating po- larity
from an alternator takes on a distinct shape, known as
a sine wave.
16. conductance

20. Electron pressure is called electromotive force. The voltage
electromotive force literally means the force that
moves electrons. The unit of measure of this force is

called intensity (I). The rate at which electrons move is
measured by the unit called ampere (A).
