Assessment 1 – Questioning
Written Assessment
1. Why should you NEVER use a test-light to diagnose components and wires in computer
systems?

Some test lights have much current drawing capacity that can damage the wires as well other
Components of the computer, so we should never use test-light to check computer
components and wires.
2. NEVER use a test light to probe for power in an electronic circuit.
3. You should NEVER connect a ‘self-powered’ test-light to a circuit that is powered. Why?
Battery in a self-powered test-light system may not be able to provide enough current to
illuminate the test light even when a complete circuit is made, so we should avoid to connect
Self-powered test-light to a circuit that is powered.
4. Analogue meter cannot be used on a computer-controller circuit unless expressly directed

to do so in the workshop manual. Why?

5. Explain why the leads of an ammeter should NEVER be place the across the battery or a
load.
An ammeter has low resistance so when it is connected in parallel to the battery a large
Current may flow through it and we will not be able to measure the exact values of the
current.
So instead parallel it must be used in series with the battery or load,
