ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TERMSQUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS|100% CORRECT|GRADE A+
Capacitor - ANSWER a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store electrical energy
temporarily in an electric field.
Diode - ANSWER allows current to flow in one direction only.
Resistor - ANSWER a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance to
reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels within circuits.
Switch Pole - ANSWER poles on a switch define how many separate circuits the switch can control
Switch Throw - ANSWER throw-count defines how many positions each of the switch's poles can be
connected to
Single Pole Single Throw - ANSWER a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch is as simple as it gets. It's
got one output and one input. The switch will either be closed or completely disconnected
Single Pole Double Throw Switch - ANSWER SPDTs have three terminals: one common pin and two pins
which vie for connection to the common. SPDTs are great for selecting between two power sources,
swapping inputs
Current - ANSWER current is the rate at which electric charge flows past a point in a circuit. In other
words, current is the rate of flow of electric charge
Voltage - ANSWER Voltage, also called electromotive force, is the potential difference in charge between
two points in an electrical field
Transistor - ANSWER a transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals
and electrical power
