CAP Diodes

If a light circuit is turned-on and it has power (battery voltage) on both the power side and the ground side of the bulb, this indicates ___________________________.

An open ground-side circuit

How must the DVOM be set-up to measure current?

In series with the circuit

Capacitors block AC current flow

False

Electrolytic capacitors are polarity sensitive.

True 

Technician A says that resistance increases as the diameter of a conductor increases. Technician B says that resistance increases as the length of a conductor increases. Which technician is correct?

tech b

High resistance in a circuit ____________.

Reduces current flow through the circuit

Two techs are discussing how to measure the current of this circuit. Tech A says the meter placement is OK but the switch will need to close so current flows to the bulb. Tech B says the meter placement is fine and the switch should remain open. Who is correct?

tech b

To measure the voltage drop across the load, where would the meter leads be placed?

c and d

With the switch closed, what should the voltagedrop across the switch be?

almost 0v

If 12 volts is measured at point C and 2 volts is measured at point D, what is the voltage drop across the bulb?

10v

The readings in the previous question indicate a problem. What is it?

unwanted resistance in the ground side

If the amperage reading at point B is 2 amps, what is the amperage reading at point D?

2a

Two Techs are discussing a circuit with two parallel branches. One branch resistance is 10 Mega ohms and the other is 5 ohms. Tech A says the total circuit resistance will be somewhere between 5 ohms and 10,000,000 ohms. Tech B says the total circuit resistance will be close to but less than 5 ohms. Who is correct?

Tech b
