Technician A says that a 12-volt light bulb that draws 12 amps has a power output of 1 watt. Technician B says that a motor that has 1 ohm of resistance has a power rating of 144 watts if it is connected to a 12-volt battery. Who is correct?
Expert Answer
Technician A says that many newer charging systems do not have a separate voltage regulator. Technician B says that most late-model charging systems are computer regulated through the ground of the field. Who is correct?
While discussing what is indicated by a vehicle’s charge indicator: Technician A says that any positive reading on an ammeter shows that the generator is in working condition. Technician B says that if the voltmeter reading does not increase immediately after starting the engine, the battery is bad. Who is correct?
