Technician A says that when placing an inductive pick-up clamp onto a starter cable,the arrow must point to the correct direction of conventional current flow.Technician B says that high current flow can be produced by an open in the starter motor field windings.Who is correct?
A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because the inductive pick-up clamp, used for measuring current flow in a circuit, must be oriented correctly to accurately detect the direction of conventional current flow (from positive to negative). Technician B is incorrect because an open in the starter motor field windings would prevent current flow, not produce high current flow.
