| How does an arc lamp work? |
|
Definition
| -Arc lamps create light by causing an “arc” of voltage b/t two leads. The arc of voltage excites the gas and metals contained within the lamp to create light (and heat). |
|
|
Term
| Why can’t you test continuity of an arc lamp to see if it’s functioning? |
|
Definition
| There is no continuity because the circuit is open. The leads are not connected. The electrons jump the arc from one lead to the next. You have to just put it in and turn it on to test it. |
