Charged

To discharge a capacitor all that is required is a(n) ________ path between terminals of the capacitor. The free electrons on the negative plate then flow through the external circuit to the positive plate.

Conductive

A half-wave recitifier can be used to convert ac voltage into dc voltage to continuously charge a capacitor

False

False

Ac inductive or capacitive reactive loads cause the voltage and current to be in-phase with eachother

When an ac circuit supplies power to a purely_____ loaf the circuit voltage and current are in-phase with eachother. This condition is called "unity power factor "

Resistive

"________" describes the steps necessary to determine the effective voltage or current value

Root-mean-square

As the alternating current through a conductor increases, an expanding and collapsing electromagnetic field through the conductor induces a voltage within the conductor. This is known as"_______ voltage".

Self-induced

If a capacitor is overcharged the electrons from the negative plate can be pulled through th e insulation to the positive plate. The capacitor is then said to have_____.

Shorted

The explaining and collapsing magnetic field within the conductor indices a voltage in the conductors (cemf) that repels the flowing electrons toward the surface of the conductor. This is called"______".

Skin effect

The peak value is equal to the effective value ________.

Times 1.41

Alternating current is primarily used because it can be transmitted inexpensively

True

Because an iron core provides an easy path for magnetic flux, windings with a soft iron cores produce a greater self-inductance than windings with air cores.

True

Effective ac voltage or effective ac current that would produce the same amount of heat in a resistor.

True

Even when power is removed from the circuit, capacitors can store large amounts of energy for a long period of time and can discharge or arc if inadvertently shorted or grounded out

True

In ac generators that produce large quantities of electricity the conductor coils are stationary and the magnetic field revolves within the coils

True

Power factor is a measurement of how far the current is out-of-phase with the voltage

True

The magnitude of self-induced voltage within within a winding is directly proportional to the current flow the winding and the frequency at which magnetic fields cut through the winding

True

The movement of electrons themselves does not produce useful work. It's the effects that the moving electrons have on the loads they flow through that are important

True

The waveform of ac circuits display the level and direction of the current and voltage for every instant of time for one full revolution of the rotor

True

When a magnetic field moves through a coil of wire the lines of force of the magnetic field cause the electrons in the wire to flow in a specific direction. When the magnetic field moves in the opposite direction, electrons in the wire flow in the opposite direction

True

When alternating current decreases the polarity of the induced voltage within the conductor tries to prevent the current from decreasing

True

When electrons move the magnetic fields of the individual electrons combine to produce an overall magnetic field. The greater the current flow, the greater the overall magnetic field around the conductor

True
