Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2005An Electrical Test (ot)
So you think this newsgroup is irrelevant? So you think nothing is ever discussed here that involves knowledge? OkeeDokee.... Take this test and report back here! http://www.apratech.org/Certification2000/QA.asp Any Navy ET that could not ace that test after the first six weeks of ET A school would get the boot. BTW, engineers used 'conventional current flow" from positive to negative for many years, some still do. > So you think this newsgroup is irrelevant? > So you think nothing is ever discussed here that involves knowledge? > OkeeDokee.... > Take this test and report back here! > > http://www.apratech.org/Certification2000/QA.asp  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 R1 Gt Hawk 62 Lark 2 door 60?

Hawk 53 coupe rod. It all seems so simple to me... Wouldn't electrons (negatively charged components of atoms) tend to flow to an area deficient of electrons? If you answer "yes," then the area that is deficient must be positively charged, yes? About this time, a typical response from an electrician is often a blank empty stare... <G> JT > The "holes" left by the electrons flow from positive to negative.. > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > 60?

Tiny? -¿Ö SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com I started out going to vocational school for 2 yrs to be a electronics technician. We were taught electron flow; current flows from negative to positive. Later, I went to a 4 yr college to be a EE (pretty much had to start over since little would transfer). There, we were taught conventional current flow; current flows from positive to negative. Always wondered why the difference.... I once read or heard somewhere that back in the 19th century, before electrons were discovered, someone just guessed which way it went and it turned out they were wrong but by then it had become a "standard". Still does not explain why techs are taught one thing and engineers another. Vacuum tube theory makes more sense using electron flow (- to +) but a lot of semiconductor theory makes more sense with conventional flow (+ to -). It really doesn't matter either way as the math works out the same. Everything I do in my daily design work on electronics is with conventional current flow. Jeff BTW, engineers used 'conventional current flow" from positive to negative for many years, some still do. --Do they work on Nortons, or Triumphs? At the shop where I served my apprenticeship, a tech rep from a then-major electronics firm asked to install their prototype electronic ignition conversion on some of our motor cycles. The owner let him go for a couple of hours with an oscilloscope (and a briefcase full of fried circuit boards) before casually commenting "These are all positive ground, y'know..." He did the ice-cream-on-the forehead slap, packed up his gear, and never came back. We presumed that the American makers started having their electrons run the other way some time around 1956. BTW. If you REALLY believed they flowed negative-to-positive, why would you use negative ground, flooding the whole frame with wayward electrons waiting for a path to open? That's like physics according to Rene Descartes. > Any Navy ET that could not ace that test after the first six weeks of ET > A school would get the boot. ...................................................... I only made it about 5 weeks (Treasure Island, 1960). Some of those questions appear in the ASE tests also. >>Any Navy ET that could not ace that test after the first six weeks of ET >>A school would get the boot. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Some of those questions appear in the ASE tests also. boy, that's an old test. only considers bipolar transistors... what about MOS? Made is through the 45 weeks of A school without a problem, but was dead last in class at the 52 weeks of B school. B school did not have one piece of actual electronic equipment, all just math and technical crap. Never did figure out what good that school did for the Navy. Maybe some day I'll need calculus or matrix algebra, but not so far. >> Any Navy ET that could not ace that test after the first six weeks of ET >> A school would get the boot. > ...................................................... > I only made it about 5 weeks (Treasure Island, 1960). > > Some of those questions appear in the ASE tests also.
