Cards in this deck (14)
- 1A ______, ______ switch is a switch that only has a single input and a single output.single-pole, single-throw
- 2The term _____ means that the switch has only one contact inside the switch.single-pole
- 3The term _____ means that the switch has only two positions: on or off.single-throw
- 4Single-pole, single-throw can be abbreviated as ____.SPST
- 5Electrical components can be connected together in two basic ways: in ____ or in ____.series, parallel
- 6In a _____ circuit, the current has only one electrical path to follow.series
- 7In a _____ circuit, the current has two or more electrical paths to follow.parallel
- 8_____ are used to lower voltage in a circuit, and as a result, limit the current.Resistors
- 9A _____ is a type of switch that works through electromagnetism.relay
- 10There are two basic types of relays: _______ and _______.normally open, normally closed
- 11A _______ relay closes the circuit when current is applied to it, and when the current is removed it opens the circuit.normally open
- 12When current is applied to a _______ relay, it breaks the circuit, and when current is removed from it, it closes the circuit.normally closed
- 13In a circuit, current always follows the path of least resistance. Because of this, sometimes the current makes its own paths where there shouldn't be any. This is called a ______.short circuit
- 14______ often occur where two bare conductor wires touch or where a circuit is improperly wired.Short circuits
