ATO Test 1 with 100% Correct Solutions
What are the 3 factors of electrical shock? - ANS--Amount of current
-Path of current
-Length of time
Types of burns from electrical shock: - ANS--electrical burn
-arc burn
-thermal contact burn
electrical burn - ANS-current flows through tissue and bone
arc burn - ANS-current jumps from area of high resistance to low resistance
*doesn't require contact with source
thermal contact burn - ANS-directly touching the electrical source
3 causes of electrical accidents - ANS--unsafe equipment/installation
-unsafe workplace environment
-unsafe practices
Variable resistors - ANS--Potentiometers(low current flow, wide range of values)
-Rheostats(high current flow, limited value range)
What is power measured in? - ANS-watts
watt - ANS-amount of power used if 1 amp flows through an electrical potential of 1 volt
wattage rating - ANS-max power a device can handle
