Coulomb (C)
3. What is the number of electrons for one unit of charge? - ANSWER ✔ 6.28
* 10^18 electrons
4. Describe static electricity - ANSWER ✔ Static electricity is the build-up of
charge on a insulated object.
5. Define electrical current - ANSWER ✔ The rate of flow of charge at a
given point per second
6. What's the equation to state the relationship between current, charge and
time? - ANSWER ✔ I = Q/T
7. What are the 6 sources of EMF? - ANSWER ✔ 1) magnetic (generators)
2) chemical (battery)
3) friction (static)
4) heat (TC's / thermopiles)
5) pressure (piezoelectric)
6) light (photovoltaic)
8. Describe one volt in terms of ohms law - ANSWER ✔ One volt is the
value of the difference in charge that causes a current of one amp to flow in
a circuit with a resistance of 1 ohm
,9. Kirchhoffs voltage law states that: - ANSWER ✔ The applied voltage must
equal the sum of all voltage drops
10.What are the two most important characteristics of resistance in parallel
circuits? - ANSWER ✔ 1) when parallel resistance is added to a circuit the
total resistance decreases
2) total resistance is always less than the lowest resistance of any branch
11.When an open circuit occurs in a parallel circuit total line current _________
and total resistance ___________ - ANSWER ✔ Current decreases
resistance increases
12.The 3 main advantages of Edison 3 wire are: - ANSWER ✔ 2 different
voltages available
Less conductor material required
There is less line loss resulting in greater efficiency
13.What can happen in Edison 3 wire if a neutral conductor is accidentally
opened or broken? - ANSWER ✔ The voltage across each load could
immediately shift to an unsafe value, high or low. This is why the neutral is
not fused.
14.What are the 3 formulas used to find power in a resistive load? - ANSWER
✔ P=IxR
v2/R=P
P=IxE
15.What 3 factors affect induced voltage - ANSWER ✔ 1) flux density or
strength of the field
2) length of the conductor within the magnetic field
3) the rate at which lines of force are cut by the conductor
16.What's the difference between a primary and secondary cell battery? -
ANSWER ✔ Primary is non rechargeable
Secondary is rechargeable
,17.What is the benefit to adding plate mass, or plate area to a battery cell? -
ANSWER ✔ Mass increases the batteries ability to produce current over a
long period of time
Plate area increases the ability to produce high current for a short period of
time
18.What are the 3 main types of lead acid batteries - ANSWER ✔ Flooded
cell
Gelled electrolyte cell
AGM cell
19.How many trades and crafts are involved in the alberta apprenticeship
system - ANSWER ✔ over 50

electrician trade - ANSWER ✔ PAC
Identifying content of their trade and Training needs
To oversee LAC
Recommending the standards and certification of their trade
