Technician A says proper starter operation depends on
the battery being at a 95% charge and battery cables
being of the correct size (gauge) and having no more
than 0.8-volt drop.
Technician B says voltage-drop testing includes
cranking the engine, measuring the drop in voltage
Technician B only
from the battery to the starter, and measuring the
drop in voltage
from the negative terminal of the battery to the engine block.

Two bulbs are connected in parallel to a 12 volt battery.
Another bulb is added in parallel.
Technician A says that the third bulb will be dimmer
than the other two bulbs due to reduced current flow
through the filament of the bulb.
Technician B says that the amount of current flowing
Neither Technician A nor B
from the battery will decrease due to the extra load.

Two bulbs are connected in parallel to a 12 volt battery.
One bulb has a resistance of 6 ohms and the other has
a resistance of 2 ohms.
Technician A says that only the 2 ohm bulb will light
because all the current will flow through the 6 ohms
Technician B only bulb.
Technician B says that the 6 ohm bulb will be dimmer than the 2
ohm bulb.

Many ground straps are uninsulated and braided because ?
a. They are less expensive than conventional wire
Both B & C
b. They are more flexible to allow movement of the engine without
breaking the wire
c. They dampen Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI)

Technician A says that a test light should light on both
test points of the fuse if it is ok. Technician B says that
the fuse is defective if a test light only lights on one side
of the fuse.

Which statement is true about fuse ratings ?
a. The fuse rating should be less than the maximum current for the
Both B & C circuit.

Two Technicians are discussing finding a short to ground using a
test light.
Technician A says that the test light, connected in
place of the fuse, will light when the circuit that has
the short is disconnected.
