Two electronics technicians are discussing electronic components. Technician A says that electronic components are color-coded to indicate their electrical values. Technician B says that electronic components
are color-coded to indicate their power ratings. Which of the following statements is correct?
(A.) Only Technician A is correct. C. Both Technician A and Technician B are correct
B. Only Technician B is correct. D. Neither of the two technicians is correct.
Two electronics technicians are discussing the electric series. Technician A says that if you rub a piece of glass with a piece of wool cloth, the glass will receive a negative charge. Technician B says that if you rub a piece of aluminum with a piece of flannel, the aluminum will receive a negative charge. Which of the following statements is correct?
The correct answer is B. Only Technician B is correct. Electronic components are color-coded to indicate their power ratings, not their electrical values.
To determine which technician is correct, we need to understand the purpose of color coding on electronic components.
In general, electronic components are color-coded to indicate their electrical values, not their power ratings. Therefore, Technician B's statement is incorrect.
Technician A's statement, on the other hand, is correct. Many electronic components, such as resistors and capacitors, are color-coded to represent their values. For example, resistors often have colored bands that indicate their resistance value, tolerance, and sometimes temperature coefficient.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A.) Only Technician A is correct.
