Ch 5 Glossary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Circuit | A combination of a number of elements joined at terminal points providing at least one closed path through which charge can flow. |
| Closed loop | Any continuous connection of branches that allows tracing of a path that leaves a point in one direction and returns to that same point from another direction without leaving the circuit. |
| Internal resistance | The inherent resistance found internal to any source of energy. |
| Kirchhoff's voltage Jaw (KVL) | The algebraic sum of the potential rises and drops around a closed loop (or path) is zero. |
| Protoboard (breadboard) | A flat board with a set pattern of conductively connected holes designed to accept 24-gage wire and components with leads of about the same diameter. |
| Series circuit | A circuit configuration in which the elements have only one point in common and each terminal is not connected to a third, current-carrying element. |
| Two-terminal device | Any element or component with two external terminals for connection to a network configuration. |
| Voltage divider rule (VDR) | A method by which a voltage in a series circuit can be determined without first calculating the current in the circuit. |
| Voltage regulation (VR) | A value, given as a percent, that provides an indication of the change in terminal voltage of a supply with a change in load demand. |
