- 1_____ is the common name given to the end of a wire connection.Plug
- 2_____ or _____ is the name given to the female end of a connection.Socket, receptacle
- 3A receptacle is sometimes referred to as a _____.jack
- 4_____ is the name often given to describe a tie point or termination of a wire run.Terminal
- 5There's a special type of tube socket called a _____ socket that's designed to hold a tube in the socket when the electronics system is exposed to vibration.loctal
- 6Wires or conductors can be terminated by two kinds of connectors and terminals: _____ and ____.soldered, solderless
- 7A wire and terminal are connected, and then the soft metal part of the terminal is crimped (pinched) onto the wire. This is known as a _____ terminal.crimped
- 8Two examples of solderless connections are _______ and ______.crimped terminals, wire wraps
- 9Wwire wrap
- 10_______ are used as tie points to interconnect wires and cables.Terminal blocks
- 11_____ are just combinations of wires.Cables
- 12_____ permit an easy flow of electric current.Conductors
- 13The two types of copper wire are ____ and _____.solid, stranded
- 14A ______ is a type of conductor that has a resistance so low that is can't be measured by ordinary instruments. These conductors often operate at very low temperatures that are close to absolute zero.superconductor
- 15_______ is equal to 459.72 degrees Fahrenheit.Absolute zero
- 16Materials that don't readily conduct electricity are called _____.insulators
- 17In some applications, insulators are called _____.dielectrics
- 18Since a "perfect" insulator doesn't exist, current can be forced through any material. If this happens in a circuit where it's not supposed to, it can destroy the insulator. This is known as an ______.arc discharge
- 19Another kind of current flow through insulators is _______. Unlike an arc discharge, this doesn't destroy the insulator, except for rare cases when it is left unrepaired for very long periods of time.leakage current
- 20The insulation that surrounds a wire is rated by its ________.breakdown voltage
- 21A wire's ________ is the amount of voltage required to produce an arc discharge through the insulation.breakdown voltage
- 22A ______ is an "in-between" material that can't conduct current as well as a conductor, but can conduct current better than an insulator.semiconductor
- 23When referring to electron flow, positive "holes" and negative electrons are called _______.charge carriers
- 24When current flows through a wire, there are some effects that are always produced. Two examples of these effects are _____ and ______.heat, magnetic fields
- 25When current flows through a wire there's always a ______.voltage drop
- 26A ______ is a device that's used to measure the amount strain of a material or structure at the point of attachment.strain gauge
- 27The amount of force applied and the cross-sectional area of the object being acted on determines the ____.stress
- 28The amount of deformation (bending) of an object is a measure of its ____.strain
- 29One ___ equals one-thousandth (1/1,000) of an inch.mil
- 30To convert inches to mils, _____ by 1,000.multiply
- 31To convert mils to inches, _____ by 1,000.divide
- 32To calculate the circular mil area of a wire when you know the diameter, simply _____ the diameter.square
