Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Calculate the total resistance and current for the following circuit.
Rt = 10 + 3 + 7 + 2 = 22Ohms, It = 12.6V  22Ω = 0.57A
True or false? Most automotive electrical problems are caused by a change in circuit resistance.
True
In which type of circuit can you find total resistance by adding all of the individual resistances?
Series
What does DVOM stand for?
Digital Volt Ohm Meter
If a circuit has a current of 3 A and a resistance of 5 Ω, how much voltage is applied to the circuit?
15 V
If resistance increases in a circuit, what will happen to current?
Current will decrease.
Write the formulas that express the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit.
E = I × R, I = E ÷ R, R = E ÷ I
Why are many automotive circuits frame-ground circuits?
Using the vehicle frame for ground saves wiring because a return wire does not have to be used to carry current back to the power source.
In a one-wire circuit, the vehicle's _____ serves as a large conductor to carry current.
frame
What is a series-parallel circuit?
A series-parallel circuit is a circuit in which some components are wired in series, but others are wired in parallel.
In what way is a parallel circuit different from a series circuit?
A parallel circuit has more than one path for current flow. A series circuit has only one path for current flow.
