| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Current divider rule (CDR) | A method by which the current through parallel elements can be determined without first finding the voltage across those parallel elements. |
| Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) | The algebraic sum of the currents entering and leaving a node is zero. |
| Node | A junction of two or more branches. |
| Ohm/volt (ON) rating | A rating used to determine both the current sensitivity of the movement and the internal resistance of the meter. |
| Open circuit | The absence of a direct connection between two points in a network. |
| Parallel circuit | A circuit configuration in which the elements have two points in common. |
| Short circuit | A direct connection of low resistive value that can significantly alter the behavior of an element or system. |
