  1. Terms Week 9

  2. Bellringers:West Virginia Equation • W=V x A (Wattage is equal to volts x amperage. • For example, a circuit rated 120 volts and 20 amps can handle 2400 watts (120 times 20 equals 2400) • You try: a circuit has 220 volts the circuit breaker has a 40 amp capability. What is the total wattage the circuit can take?

  3. ANSWER • W=220 volts x 40 amperage= 8800 total wattage capability • If you plug more than 8800 wattage into this breaker, it will blow up !

  4. Batton: A large pipe suspended from the ceiling ;technicians hang backdrops and lights on it.

  5. Fresnel: a short, fat lighting instrument which disperses light. Workhorse of theater
