ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TERMS EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% CORRECT!!!

Switch Pole - ANSWER poles on a switch define how many separate circuits the switch can control Switch Throw - ANSWER throw-count defines how many positions each of the switch's poles can be connected to Single Pole Single Throw - ANSWER a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch is as simple as it gets. It's got one output and one input. The switch will either be closed or completely disconnected Voltage - ANSWER Voltage, also called electromotive force, is the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field Transistor - ANSWER a transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power Relay - ANSWER an electrical device, typically incorporating an electromagnet, that is activated by a current or signal in one circuit to open or close another circuit Ground - ANSWER ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current Single Pole Double Throw Switch - ANSWER SPDTs have three terminals: one common pin and two pins which vie for connection to the common. SPDTs are great for selecting between two power sources, swa
