A comprehensive set of questions and answers related to electrical circuits, covering topics such as series and parallel circuits, troubleshooting techniques, and circuit analysis. It includes definitions of key concepts, explanations of circuit behavior under different conditions (e.g., open or short circuits), and practical applications like voltage dividers and bridge circuits. The material is designed to test and reinforce understanding of fundamental electrical engineering principles, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field. It also covers topics such as kirchoff's laws, meter measurements, and common materials used in circuit boards and cables. Structured as a series of questions and their corresponding correct answers, facilitating quick review and self-assessment.

Definition of series circuit - correct answerCurrent flows in a single path through all components In which direction does current flow? - correct answerNegative to positive Current is the ____ throughout whole circuit - correct answerSame 4 steps of troubleshooting - correct answerAnalyze, check setup, calculate/measure, check results An open series component drops _____ volts - correct answerApplied Resistance is how much over open component? - correct answerMax or infinite Short provides how much resistance? - correct answerNo resistance Shorts read how many volts? - correct answer0 volts!!! Is current or volts the same at all points in parallel circuit? - correct answerVolts. Each branch reads applied volts Open components in parallel branch have how much current? - correct answer0 A Current is (blank) with an open in parallel branch - correct answerLowered What happens to current with a short in parallel branch? - correct answerIncreases to MAX Opening what series-parallel component will cause amps to be 0? - correct answerSeries component. Volts dropped across open Current (increases/decreases) if a parallel component opens in series-parallel - correct answerDecreases With open in parallel branch of s-p circuit: series volt drops(increase/decrease) and parallel volt drop (increase/decrease) - correct answerDecrease, increase Current increases or decreases with short in series component (s-p circuit) - correct answerIncreases What happens to REQ when there is a short in a parallel branch (s-p circuit) - correct answerGoes to 0 ohms (parallel volt drops are 0 volts) What happens to circuit values when a load is addedto voltage divider? - correct answerResistance down, voltage down, current up
