Application of theory should be based on knowledge of
- Ohm’s law
- electricity produced mechanically, chemically, and statically
- alternating current
- direct current
- magnetism
- units of measurement—Ohm’s, voltage, and amperage
- conductors, semiconductors, and insulators
- electrical function
- current flow
- wire size (AWG)
- series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits
- schematic symbols
- schematic reading
- electrical terms/nomenclature
- circuit types: open, closed, and short.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How can knowledge of electrical theory aid in the repair of small engine technology?
- What are some possible consequences of applying incorrect electrical theory?
- What is the electrical symbol for a fuse?
- What is the electrical symbol for a switch?
- What is the electrical symbol for a battery? A relay? A solenoid?
