is to supply a steady voltage to other components such as a device or circuits that are normally operated within specific power supply ranges. An AC ammeter is a device that has two terminals, has no resistance to flow and is polarized. Usually, an ammeter is connected in series with components of a circuit as it measures the sign and magnitude of AC current passing through the component. In order for this to work the circuit must be open to connect the ammeter. A CRO (cathode ray oscilloscope)

a reliable way to verify that active and passive safety systems are optimized to function as intended. National Electrical Code and "NEC" are registered trademarks of the NFPA. While the NEC is not itself a U.S. law, NEC use is commonly mandated by state or local law, as well as in many jurisdictions outside of the United States. The NEC codifies the requirements for safe electrical installations into a single, standardized source. FCC rules Part 68 (47 C.F.R. Part 68) governs the direct

Research Project: E-Waste 1. What are the environmental issues associated with e-waste? E-Waste (electronic or electrical) is generated from any equipment (running on electricity or a battery) that isdiscarded by the original user (still in working or non-working condition). The processes of dismantling and disposing of electronic waste in the third world lead to a number of environmental impacts as illustrated in the graphic. Liquid and atmospheric releases end up in bodies of water, groundwater
