CHAPTER I: Introduction

QUESTIONS: ANSWERS:
What do you call of a set of rule that relates quantities. The rule
may be an equation, an equality, or other mathematical formula
description?
It is a formulas that a researcher creates. definitions
It summarizes a relationship that already exist in nature. law
What do you call of the laws that says that the force of attraction
or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the Coulomb's Law
charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between them?
It is true because you can verufy it. law
It is a formula that is invented for a new concept. definitions
A formula for a relationship in nature. Law
A formula produced with mathematics. derivation
It is sometimes called first approximation and the simplest
circuit fo a device. ideal approximation
It adds one or more components to the ideal approximation. second approximation
The series resistance is called? sorce or internal resistance
The _____ includes another component in the equivalent circuit
of the device. third approximation
It produces a load that is a constant. ideal dc voltage source
when the load resistance
When does stiff region occurs? is large enough
What produces a constant load current for different load
resistances? dc current source
It occurs when the load resistance is small enough. stiff region
It is a statement that we can prove mathematically. theorem
It is defined as the voltage across the load terminals when the VTH
load resistor is open. Thevenin voltage
It is defined as the reistance that an ohmeter measures across
the load terminal. Thevenin resistance
To zero voltage source, replace it by a _____ . short
To zero current source, replace it by a _____ . open
It does not change with increasing voltage. linear resistance
What is defined as the load current when the load resistance IN
is shorted? Norton Current
It is a resistance that an ohmeter measures across the load
terminals when all sources are reduced to zero and the load Norton Resistance
resistor is open.
The load voltage equals the _____ current times the Norton
resistance in parallel with the load resistance. Norton Current
It states that for any theorem in electrical circuit analysis there
is dual (opposite) theorem in which one replaces the original duality principles
quantities.
It means findings out why a circuit is not doing what it is
supposed to do. troubleshooting
This effectively shorts any device between the two conducting
lines. solder bridge
It is a poor solder connection usually meand no connection
at all. cold-solder joint
The _____ through an open device is zero. The voltage through it
is unknown. current
The _____ across a shorted device is zero. The current through
it is unknown. voltage
