I just emailed you feedback. No worries – we have more than one attempt on this exam! It’s a challenge.

Hi Farley,

We stepped through this scenario in the video at the end of Unit 3. Please rewatch that, and if you don’t understand, I’m happy to interact with you further about it.

[Susan Brown]

That’s correct, good job.

Here’s what I suggest you do, Bryson. Don’t just go through the Module exam and look at the answers you missed, because each time you take the exam it is a new mix of questions (from the unit quizzes).

Instead, go through each Unit Quiz and make sure you understand each question. For those that you don’t, ask more questions in this forum.

[Susan Brown]

Correct. So, since this question is about two bulbs in series, if one bulb burns out, the other will not light up.

YOU MEASURE THE AC CURRENT FLOW THOUGH AN OVEN IGNITOR IS SUPPLIED BY A 120 V AC SOURCE WHAT IS THE RESISTENCE OF THE IGNITOR

I assume you mean this question: You measure the AC current flow though an oven ignitor at 3.2 amps. The ignitor is supplied by a 120 V AC source. What is the resistance of the ignitor?

With a question like this, always write down
1. What you are asked to calculate
2. What information you are given.

So for this, you are asked to calculate resistance (R, ohms)
You are given:
Current (I, amps)
Voltage (E, volts)

Then, look at the Ohm’s Law equations and find the appropriate one to use. It will start with “R=” and use I and E in the calculation.

Try that and tell me what you get.

[Susan Brown]

Okay, good. What happens when a bulb burns out? Can current still travel through it?

The Ask the Teacher Forums are for questions about the course material, not for requesting resets. I’ve already emailed with you about this. We need to go through all of the questions you’ve been struggling with. When I get a sense that you understand the material a lot better, you will get your final reset.

[Susan Brown]

One question at a time please. Let’s start here:

A SERIES CIRCUIT CONSIST OF TWO LIGHT BULBS AN AMMETER AND A BATTERY IF ONE OF THE BULBS BURNS OUT WHAT IF ANYTHING WOULD YOU SEE HAPPEN TO THE OTHER BULB

I’ll step you through this with a series of questions. Reply with your answer.

What makes a bulb light up?

Hi Dave,

Those are negative numbers.

R-12 boiling point: -21
R-134a boiling point: -15

-15 is higher (warmer) than -21
Your brain is trying to tell you that 21 is higher than 15, but don’t listen to it! 🙂

Hi Farley,

The Quiz and Exam Reset Request form is in the Campus Support menu, not the Forums. Look near the top of the site and click “Campus Support”. You’ll see a link to it in the menu that pulls up. (If you are on a mobile device, it’s in the main menu)

You don’t need a reset to the quiz you made 80 on, since you have a second attempt. 80% is good enough for Certification, but I just wanted to encourage you to gain a better understanding on the questions you missed.

If that link doesn’t work, see this post:

Hi Carl,

Did you get the email with the link to apply for the Alumni membership at Appliantology?

For any issues with logging in over at Appliantology, please use the Contact form at that site so the Appliantology Admin, Sam, can help you.

Hi Farley,

This isn’t a true/false question.
One of the answer choices is, “Probably, but it depends on the model”, which is the correct answer.

[Susan Brown]

Hi Terez,

You did that in the Unit 3 quiz, question 11, and in the Unit 8 quiz, questions 7 and 8 (although you got question 8 incorrect).

Review the video at the end of Unit 3 if you aren’t sure how to do it. If you still aren’t sure after doing that, let me know and I’ll help you further.

P.S. Are you aiming for Certification?

[Susan Brown]

The answer is “Out of spec thermistor.”
Does that make sense to you?

[Susan Brown]

Okay – if you still need help, just let us know!
