REC 104 week 2

A closed circuit is

• a circuit that is not flowing electricity

• A complete circuit between battery's positive and negative

• Allows electricity to flow through the circuit

• the pathway is interrupted in the circuit

the pathway for electricity has been interrupted by a blown fuse This is known as a _________

• closed circuit

• bad connection

• open circuit

• blown fuse

A series circuit has only ________

• A single path for current to flow

• has multiple avenues for current to flow

• will work even if there is an open circuit

• a minimal amount of resistance

Parallel circuits have_________

• A single pathway for electricity to flow

• multiple avenues for electricity to flow

• if it has an open circuit it will not flow electricity

• voltage is different on each branch

Common term with electricity also known as "earth"

• pathway

• circuit

• ground

• open

how much voltage does the ground path carry

• 12 vdc

• 120 vac

• 1vdc

• 0 vdc

The outboard is used as part of the electrical circuit

• true

• false

Open, short, partial short, grounded, series resistance are ___________

• circuit problems

• all necessary to have a complete circuit

• will cause a fuse to blow

• will cause an electrical fire

If there is no fuse protection what can happen if you have a short circuit

• the wiring will get warm

• the circuit flows as much current as possible

• nothing

• the lights will get brighter

A switch that is not turned on could defined as an

• closed circuit

• blown circuit

• open circuit

• bad switch
