Clues
1. a circuit in which all components are connected
directly to the voltage supply.
2. a device in an electrical circuit with resistance.
3. A device that trips and opens a circuit, preventing
excessive current flow in a circuit. it is resettable to
allow for reuse.
4. a law of electromagnetism stating that the current
induced in a circuit due to a change or a motion in a
magnetic field is so directed as to oppose the change in
flux and to exert a mechanical force opposing the
motion.
5. a law that defines the relationship between amperage,
resistance, and voltage.
6. a law that defines the relationship between power,
amperage, and voltage.
7. a material that can have properties of both conductors
and insulators and that can switch back and forth
between either state, using small electrostatic charges.
8. a material that easily allows electricity to flow through
it. it is made up of atoms with very few outer-shell elec-
trons, which are loosely held by the nucleus.
9. a material’s property that reduces voltage and
amperage in an electrical current.
10. a measure of how much amperage a battery can
continually supply over a 20-hour period without the
battery voltage falling below 10.5 volts.
11. a temperature-sensitive variable resistor commonly
used to measure coolant, oil, fuel, and air
temperatures.
12. A type of current flow that continuously changes
direction and polarity.
13. a unit of 8 bits.
14. an electric current that is proportional to a con-
tinuously changing variable.
15. an electrical circuit that is formed between two points,
allowing current to flow through an unintended
pathway.
Answer 16. It is also called a wave inverter.
17. it is also called virtual fuses.
18. It is also Known as RAM
19. It is also Known as ROM
20. it means engine control unit.
21. movement of current that flows in one direction only.
22. refers to the voltage difference on a wire pair when
one wires voltage is the mirror opposite voltage.
23. the machine’s hydraulics are electronically controlled
with no driver intervention to make blade or imple-
ment adjustments.
24. the measurement of the quantity of electrons in
electric current movement.
25. the number of events or cycles that occur in a period,
usually 1 second.
26. the simplest type of electrical circuit, with multiple
loads but only one path for current to flow.
27. the smallest piece of digital information, which is either
a 1 or 0.
28. the speed at which electrons travel from atom to atom.
29. the state of charge, positive or negative.
30. the unit for electrical frequency measurement, in
cycles per second.
31. the unit for electrical frequency measurement, in
cycles per second.
32. the unit for measuring electrical resistance.
33. the unit for measuring the quantity or numbers of
electrons flowing past one point in a circuit per unit of
time.
34. the unit used to measure potential difference, or
electrical pressure.
35. the use of control systems that reduce or eliminate
human intervention to operate machinery.
