Answer:
Ring.Question 4: How should the splices be arranged if several are to be located in an electrical wire bundle?
Answer:
Staggered along the length of the bundle.
Question 5: When a diode is checked for an open circuit or a short circuit, it should be
Answer:
disconnected from the circuit.Question 6: A battery-generator system provides direct current. On installations requiring alternating current from the battery-generator system, it is necessary to have
Answer:
an inverter.Question 7: If the (+) terminal of a voltmeter is connected to the (-) terminal of the source voltage and the (-) terminal of the meter is connected to the (+) terminal of the source voltage, the voltmeter will read
Answer:
backwards
Question 8: The commutator of a generator
Answer:
changes alternating current produced in the armature into direct current as it is taken from the armature.Question 9: The navigation lights of some aircraft consist of a single circuit controlled by a single switch which has an ON position and an OFF position, with no additional positions possible. This switch is referred to as a
