Amperage f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f freferred fto fas famps for fmilliamps, findicates fthe fstrength fof
fan f electrical f current. f Amperage f is fmeasured fin funits fof fAmperes, foften fcalled f Amps for
fmilliamps. f (One famp f is f equal f to f1,000 fmilliamps).
Conductor f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f fConductor fis fdefined fas fa fmaterial fthrough fwhich fan
felectrical fcurrent feasily fmoves. fA f conductor fmaterial fallows fa fcurrent fflow.
Current f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f fElectrical fcurrent fis fdefined fas fthe fmovement fof felectrical
f charge. f Current f is fmeasured f in famps.
Deenergized f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f fDeenergized fmeans fthat fall fenergy fsources fto fcircuits
fand fequipment fhas fbeen fturned foff fand fany f stored fenergy f has fbeen fdepleted ffrom f the
f system.
Energized f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f falso fcalled flive, for fhot, fmeans fthat fa fvoltage fis fpresent fand
f it f can fcause fan felectrical f current. fAny ftime fan felectrical f current fis fpresent, f there f is fa f risk
fof fbeing f shocked.
Insulator f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f fInsulator, for finsulation, fis fa fmaterial fthat fdoes fnot feasily
f conduct f electricity. fAn finsulator fmaterial f resists f current fflow.
, Shocking fCurrent f- fcorrect fanswer. f f f fis fthe felectrical fcurrent fthat fpasses fthrough fa fpart fof
fthe fbody. fIn fthat fcase, fwe f usually f say f that fsomeone f is fshocked f by felectricity.
