A-22 ohms, B~5.29 ohms, 10 ohms. 3-77. Answer C. JSGT 3D, FGH True power equals voltage times the portion of current that is in phase with the voltage. Apparent power, on the other hand, equals voltage times total current in and out of phase with the voltage. When capacitance or inductance is added to a circut, the current and voltage are not exactly in phase. Therefore, true power in a reactive or inductive AC circultis always less than the apparent power. 3-78. Answer C. JSGT 3D, FGH This is an application of the formula given for computing impedance.

JSGT 3E, FGH During fluctuations in voltage, a capacitor will absorb potential during variations above nominal voltage, and discharge potential during variations below nominal voltage. This smooths out pulsations in the nominal voltage. 3-82, Answer B. JSGT 3E, FGH ‘The most important characteristic of a diode is that it permits current to flow in one direction only. The effect Is lke an electron check valve that permits flow in one direction but blocks any attempt to flow in the opposite direction. This characteristic permits diodes to be used to rectly AC to DC. 3-83. Answer A, JSGT 3E, FGH To tum ona transistor, a small amount of current must flow into the base and the emitter-base must be forward-biased. A P-N-P transistor is forwardbiased when the base is negative with respect to the emitter. 3-84, Answer C. JSGT 3E, FGH Totum on a transistor, a small amount of current must flow into the base and the emitter-base must be forward-biased. An N-P-N transistor is forwardbiased when the base is positive with respect to the emitter. 3-85, Answer C, JSGT 3E, FGH Zener diodes, sometimes called "breakdown diodes ‘are primarily used for voltage regulation. They are designed so that they will break down and allow current flow in the reverse-biased direction when the ciroult potential Is equal to or in excess of the desired Zener voltage rating. oe 3-30 3486 AMGO3L l Forward biasing of a solid state device will cause the device to ‘A-conduct via zener breakdown, @yconduct.

(CURRENT FLOW Se oucton CURRENT FLOW ee, 31 3-88. Answer A. JSGT 3E, FGH In order for current to flow in a transistor, the cemitter-base junction must be forward-biased. Forward biasing requires the base of an NPN transistor to be positive with respect to the emitter, which is true in llustration 1. Positive charge flow defines the current flow as being from positive to negative, which is also depicted in ilustration 1. lustration 2is incorrect because the emitter-base junction is reverse biased and no current can flow.

Through this switch the crossfeed valve is energized, closing switch 19 and allowing relay TCO to be energized. 3-101, Answer A. JSGT 3G, FGH When the system has power to the bus, and the fuel selector is switched to the right-hand tank, power Is fed {fom the bus to the RTS relay. This relay opens switch 7 and closes switch 8.

When power is supplied to the bus it has a path through Switches 5, 7, 9, and 11 to the PCC relay. Power also hhas a path through switches 18 and 20 to relay TCC. 9-103, Answer C. JSGT 3G, FGH ‘With the bus energized and the fuel selector in the left-hand position, relay LTS receives power which ‘changes the position of switches 5 and 6. Opening ‘switch 5 causes switch 11 to open and remove power trom relay PCC, allowing switch 15 to close. (Note: switch 15 is shown closed because itis spring loaded to that position when the circu is not energized.) Closing switch 6 energizes switch 12 which allows power to flow to relay PCO and close switch 13. On the Other side of the circu, when power is supplied to the bus, relay TCC energizes and opens switch 16. 3.40 3104 AMGOIS om {Refer to figure 18 on page 3-40.
