TLE Flashcards
(48 cards)
The basic unit of current
ampere
the opposition to the flow of electrons
resistance
a scheme to determine the value of resistors by color bands printed on their bodies as code
resistor color coding
the fourth color in the 3 band color coding that indicates the percentage of deviation from its color coded value
tolerance
An electrical pressure that pushes current to flow within a load through a conductor.
Voltage
An electronic instrument used to measure resistance of a component or the entire circuit.
Ohmmeter
An electronic component that is used to offer opposition to current in an electrical circuit.
Resistor
A portion in the ohmmeter where the actual reading is multiplied by the range value.
Range Multiplier
unit of voltage
Volt
A wire, cable, or other body or medium that is suitable for carrying electric current
Conductor
A branch of science and technology that deals with the controlled flow of electrons
Electronics
A component designed intentionally to have a definite amount of resistance.
Resistor
An electric current that flows in one direction
Direct Current
The electrical pressure that existed between two points and capable of producing a flow of current when a close circuit is connected between the points.
Voltage
separated or individual components
Discrete Components
connecting two lengths of conductor
Splicing
An instrument that measures the amount of electromotive force in a component or circuit.
Voltmeter
A material that serves as insulator because it has poor electric conductivity
Dielectric Material
A positive electrode of semiconductor device
Anode
Changes the amplitude of a signal between input and output
Active Component
Circuit that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal
Amplifier
Magnitude or size of a signal voltage or current
Amplitude
Positive electrode or terminal of a device. The “P” material of a diode.
Anode
The region that lies between the emitter and collector of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT)
