the amount of resistance in component or
circuits
 Definition of Terms in Lesson 1
18. Resistance- the opposition that a component
or material offers to the flow of current
19. Resistor- a component designed
intentionally to have a definite amount of
resistance
20. Soldering- a process of joining two metals
caused by heat
21. Soldering technique- a right process in
which the solder (lead) is being applied in
connection or in printed circuit board
 Definition of Terms in Lesson 1
22. Splicing- connecting two lengths of
conductor
23. Technician- a person skilled in mechanical
or industrial techniques or in a particular
technical field
24. Tool kit- a small bag equipped with hand
tools
 25. Troubleshooting- identifying and repairing
faults in equipment
 Definition of Terms in Lesson 1

26. Voltage- the electrical pressure that existed between

two points and capable of producing a flow of current
when a close circuit is connected between the points
27. Voltmeter- an instrument that measures the amount
of electromotive force in a component or circuit

offer opposition to current in an electrical circuit
 Definition of Terms in Lesson 2
9. Resistor color coding- A scheme to determine
the value of resistor by color bands printed on
their bodies as code
10. Test Probes- Connectors connect to
terminals of the VOM and component’s terminals
or test points in a circuit to be tested. They are
oftentimes red and black in color
11. Tolerance- The fourth color in 3-band color
coding that indicates the percentage of
deviation from its color coded value
 Definition of Terms in Lesson 2
12. Volt- Basic unit of voltage
13. Voltage- An electrical pressure that pushes
current to flow within a load through a
conductor
14. Zero-ohm adjuster-part of the ohmmeter
that is used in adjusting the pointer of the
ohmmeter to zero before resistance
