Aviation Mechanic General "Basic
Electricity" Questions and Answers
Already Passed
Why is alternating current (AC) more commonly used for power distribution than direct current
(DC)?
✔✔AC can be easily transformed to higher or lower voltages, making it more efficient for long-
distance transmission.
What effect does temperature have on the resistance of a conductor?
✔✔As temperature increases, the resistance of a conductor typically increases.
What does it mean when a circuit is considered "open"?
✔✔An open circuit means there is a break in the connection, preventing current from flowing.
Why is a voltmeter connected in parallel with a component in a circuit?
✔✔A voltmeter is connected in parallel to measure the voltage across the component without
interrupting the circuit.

, How does a diode function in an electrical circuit?
✔✔A diode allows current to flow in one direction only, blocking it in the opposite direction.
What is the function of a relay in an electrical system?
✔✔A relay is an electrically operated switch that allows a low-power signal to control a high-
power circuit.
What happens to the voltage in a series circuit with multiple resistors?
✔✔The total voltage is divided across the resistors in proportion to their resistance.
What is the basic unit of electric current?
✔✔The ampere (A).
What device is used to measure electrical current in a circuit?
✔✔An ammeter.
How does resistance affect the flow of current in an electrical circuit?
