Across
- 3. The feature of a digital multimeter that automatically changes to the correct range. All that has to be set on the meter is the knob for volts, amps, or ohms.
- 6. The amount voltage decreases as current flows through a component or part of a circuit.
- 8. Troubleshooting process that uses a logical sequence of steps to find the source of an electrical problem.
- 10. Instrument used to measure voltage (electrical pressure) in a given circuit.
- 11. A description of a perfect electrical path between two test points.
- 12. An electrical circuit with a gap or break in continuity so that current cannot flow.
- 13. An electrical instrument used to measure the amount of resistance in a given unit or circuit.
- 14. A chemical for cleaning deposits from contacts, switches, and other components.
Down
- 1. A description of a circuit path that is not complete; current is blocked through the tested circuit or component.
- 2. Solution used to find intermittent electrical problems by lowering the temperature of a component instantly.
- 4. System malfunction that occurs infrequently, usually when certain conditions are met, such as temperature, humidity, vehicle operation, or in response to tests performed by a computer.
- 5. Short piece of insulated wire used to bypass electrical connections or devices to test operation. Most jumper wires have small alligator clips on each end.
- 7. A solvent used to clean oil and grease from components before soldering.
- 9. An instrument used to measure the flow of electric current in a circuit in amperes. It is normally connected in series in a circuit.
