REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. What is electricity? Electricity is the flow of electrons between atoms.
2. What is current flow or amperage? Flow of electrons.
3. What creates a magnetic field in a conductor? Voltage or current flow? Current flow.
M
4. What is voltage? Electrical pressure that pushes current flow.
E
5. What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator? A conductor allows current
D
flow and an insulator restricts current flow.
C
6. What are the two common types of electricity? Direct current (DC) and alternating current
(AC).
O
N
7. What is control voltage? Control voltage is the electrical section of the HVACR system
N
that manages the on and off cycles.
O
8. What is resistance? Resistance is the force that slows down the flow of electrons in a
S I
circuit.
S
9. What is a watt? Watt is the rate of doing work or power.
E
10. How are watts calculated? Watts or power is calculated by multiplying amps by voltage.
U
11. What is a meant by a load? Any component that has a resistance to electron or current flow.
R
12. What is the difference between a complete circuit, open circuit and a short circuit?
A complete circuit is a path for electricity to flow. An open circuit means that there is break or
“opening” in the wire or load stopping the flow of electrons. A short circuit has the power
going to ground or a condition in which the load has very low resistance.
13. What is a series circuit? A series circuit is a circuit that has only one path for current flow.
