1. What is an electric circuit?

An electric circuit is the complete path of wires and equipment along which an electric
current flows
2. What is a source?
A source is any device, which supplies electrical energy for circuit. Source can be a cell, a
battery , a generator.
3. What is a load?
A load is a device that consumes electric energy in a circuit.
4. Name 4 basic components of an electric circuit
A source, a load, a transmission system and a control.
5. What is a cell?
=>A cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electric energy.
6. What is a generator?
A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy.
7. What is conductor?
=>A conductor is a material which readily release electrons.
8. What is insulator?
=> A insulator is a material which does not readily release electrons.
9. What is a solar cell?
A solar cell is a device that converts light and heat energy from the sun into
electricity
10. How does current move?
Current moves from a point of high potential energy to one of low potential.
11. What is an electric motor?
An electric motor is a machine for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
12. What is the principle of an electric motor?
=> The principle of an electric motor is that when the current- carrying conductor is placed in a
magnetic field, a force is produced on the conductor. the interaction of the forces produced by
the magnetic field of the rotor and the stator makes the rotor spin.
13. What are effects of a current?
The effects of an electric current are thermal, luminous, chemical and magnetic.
14. Give some examples of thermal effect of current
=>

20. What are two factors that affect attenuation of ground waves?
21. What are two factors that determine the bending effect of the ionosphere?
22. What is a cathode?
A cathode is a negative electrode which emits electronics.
23. What is an anode?

 A anode is a positive electrode which attracts electronics.

24. What is a line scan signal?
25. What is a line sync pulse?
26. What is modulation?
27. What is AM?
28. What is FM?
