Does the experience include ladies with a proclivity for not wearing clothes, gyrating round a pole to some rather thumping music. ...or. I thinks by a different gentleman's club experience?

How coarse.

Words.

Evening all,

I'm new to this so apologies in advance if I'm posting in the wrong threads.

I'm an apprentice electrician.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, my college assignments are currently being handed out online with very little communication and interaction from the tutors.
I'm struggling with one section of an assignment. I have tried contacting my tutor, but have yet to receive a reply, so have come here to see if I can pick up advice or pointers that might help me out, so I can get the work completed.
The section I'm struggling with asks:
Describe the process of testing for (Include tester type and expected readings)

• Open Circuit
• Short Circuit

Having just started the 'Faults' unit before the college closed, and not having covered this area, I'm finding it difficult to find the correct process of these tests.
I have tried online but all I'm seeming to find is information about auto electrics.

Any help would be very appreciated

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well!!

An open circuit is where there is a break in the conductor and a short circuit is where a live and earth are touching or live and neutral etc ie where the electricity is not taking the correct path but a SHORTER circuit.

If you leave out the jacket and pipe you've got a normal weekend in Wales.
