  1. 3. A power supply is a device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The term is most commonly applied to electric power converters that convert one form of electrical energy to another, though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy to electrical energy.
  2. 7. a circuit having its parts connected serially
  3. 8. a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, esp. when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.
  4. 10. If an electric circuit has a well-defined output terminal, the circuit connected to this terminal is the load. Load affects the performance of circuits that output voltages or currents, such as sensors, voltage sources, and amplifiers.
  5. 12. an automatic device for stopping the flow of current in an electric circuit as a safety measure.
  6. 13. law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points
  7. 14. They will test for voltage, current and resistance.
  8. 17. the intentional installation of a “weak link” in an electrical circuit.
  9. 19. electrical connection of a circuit or conductor to the earth
  10. 20. a safety device consisting of a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit if the current exceeds a safe level.

  1. 1. an electric current flowing in one direction only.
  2. 2. a flow of electric charge
  3. 4. a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
  4. 5. a resistor or other circuit component that opposes the passage of an electric current.
  5. 6. A type of circuit that uses control devices to determine when loads are energized or de-energized by controlling current flow.
  6. 9. an electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals, typically used in power supplies.
  7. 11. an electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow.
  8. 15. a decrease in voltage along a conductor through which current is flowing.
  9. 16. An amount of elecrical potential, that is, he capacity o do work
  10. 18. a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit
