What are the three ways that PV modules or batteries can be wired together to get a desired system voltage and current?
Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel
Series, Parallel, and Direct
Parallel, Series-Parallel, and Direct
Series, Direct, and Inverse
What is the procedure for testing a circuit with a voltmeter if the polarity is unknown?
Connect the voltmeter in series and observe the reading
Connect the voltmeter in parallel and observe the reading
Connect the voltmeter with any polarity and observe the reading
Connect the voltmeter with correct polarity and observe the reading
The two types of ammeters are:
In-Line and Clamp-On
Series and Parallel
AC and DC
High and Low
Alternating current (AC) is transmitted at high voltages because:
it reduces energy loss during transmission.
it increases the speed of transmission.
it is safer for long-distance transmission.
it is cheaper to produce.
