Electricity for the 4-H Scientist

by Eric B. Wilson

1. A (television set, radio) is very sensitive to changes in voltage.

2. Dimming lights mean (static in the wires, an electrical overload).

3. Wires that become warm from overload make it (more expensive, cheaper) to operate the equipment.

4. A home of 2,000 sq. ft. should have at least (three, four) general purpose circuits.

5. One solution to low voltage symptoms is (heavier fuses, more circuits).

6. Full capacity for a Number 14 wire circuit at 115 volts is (1725 watts, 3000 watts).

7. A room air conditioner should be on (a general purpose, an individual) circuit.

8. The purpose of a fuse is to (let you disconnect the circuit, automatically prevent overloading the circuit).

9. The right size fuse is determined by (wire size, the store where you buy it).

10. A circuit chart should give (circuit description and fuse size, the maker's name).
