What is electricity?
Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another.
Define Ohm's Law.
Ohm's Law states that 1 volt is required to push 1 ampere through 1 ohm of resistance.
What is a circuit?
A circuit is a complete path that electrons travel from a power source through a load and back to the power source.
Explain Kirchhoff's Voltage Law.
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the voltage around any closed circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across the resistances.
What is the purpose of a fused jumper wire?
A fused jumper wire is used to check a circuit by bypassing the switch or to provide power or ground to a component.
What is a digital multimeter (DMM) used for?
A DMM is used to read voltage, resistance, and current, and compare the readings to factory specifications.
