    Self-Test 1

    1. Match the device on the left with its purpose on the right.
      1. Circuit breaker 1. Protects circuits
      2. Relay 2. Electric switch
      3. Solenoid 3. Variable control
      4. Rheostat 4. Movable core
    2. What best describes tapped or stepped resistors?
      1. They have two or more fixed values.
      2. They have only one unchangeable rating.
      3. They have a variable range of resistance.
      4. They are used to control charging systems.
    3. How is a fuse different from a circuit breaker?
      1. A fuse acts like a diode.
      2. A circuit breaker doesn’t need a ground.
      3. A fuse can be reset and a circuit breaker cannot.

      2. False
    4. What are transformers used for?
      1. To act like a relay
      2. To increase amperage
      3. To increase or decrease voltage

      1. ITA
      2. NSA
      3. CSA
      4. DNA
    6. Closed means the circuit is complete and conducting.
      1. True
      2. False
