Questions and Answers

1.

A resistor is connected across a 50 V source. What is the current in the resistor if the color code is red, orange, orange, silver?
- A.
  
  2 mA
- B.
  
  2.2 mA
- C.
  
  214 mA
- D.
  
  21.4 mA
Correct Answer
B. 2.2 mA

Explanation
The color code for the resistor indicates its resistance value. In this case, red represents 2, orange represents 3, and silver represents a decimal multiplier of 0.01. Therefore, the resistance of the resistor is 23 * 0.01 = 0.23 ohms. Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), we can calculate the current by dividing the voltage (50 V) by the resistance (0.23 ohms). The current is approximately 217.39 mA, which is closest to 2.2 mA.

How much voltage is needed to produce 2.5 A of current through a 200 resistor?
- A.
  
  50 V
- B.
  
  500 V
- C.
  
  80 V
- D.
  
  8 V
Correct Answer
B. 500 V

Explanation
To calculate the voltage needed, we can use Ohm's Law which states that voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). In this case, the current is given as 2.5 A and the resistance is 200 Ω. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = 2.5 A * 200 Ω = 500 V. Therefore, the correct answer is 500 V.

Twelve volts are applied across a resistor. A current of 3 mA is measured. What is the value of the resistor?
- A.
  
  4
- B.
  
  400
- C.
  
  4 k
- D.
  
  4.4
Correct Answer
C. 4 k

Explanation
The value of the resistor is 4 k. This can be determined using Ohm's Law, which states that the current flowing through a resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance. In this case, the voltage is 12 volts and the current is 3 mA (or 0.003 A). By rearranging the formula, we can solve for the resistance: R = V/I = 12/0.003 = 4000 ohms, which is equivalent to 4 k.

The total power in a certain circuit is 12 W. Each of the four equal-value series resistors making up the circuit dissipates
- A.
  
  12 W
- B.
  
  48 W
- C.
  
  3 W
- D.
  
  8 W
Correct Answer
C. 3 W

Explanation
The answer is 3 W because the total power in the circuit is given as 12 W and there are four equal-value series resistors. Since the resistors are in series, the total power is divided equally among them. Therefore, each resistor dissipates 12 W / 4 = 3 W.

Three 680 resistors are connected in series with a 470 V source. Current in the circuit is
- A.
  
  69 mA
- B.
  
  230 mA
- C.
  
  23 mA
- D.
  
  690 mA
Correct Answer
B. 230 mA

Explanation
When resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is equal to the sum of individual resistances. In this case, the three 680 Ω resistors are connected in series, so the total resistance is 680 Ω + 680 Ω + 680 Ω = 2040 Ω.

According to Ohm's Law, the current flowing through a circuit is equal to the voltage divided by the resistance. In this case, the voltage is 470 V and the resistance is 2040 Ω.

Using Ohm's Law, we can calculate the current as follows:

Current = Voltage / Resistance = 470 V / 2040 Ω = 0.230 A = 230 mA.

Therefore, the correct answer is 230 mA.

- C.
  
  3 V
- D.
  
  15 V
Correct Answer
D. 15 V

Explanation
When two voltage sources are connected in series aiding, their voltages add up. In this case, the 6 V and 9 V sources are connected in series aiding, so the total voltage is the sum of the two voltages, which is 6 V + 9 V = 15 V.

- B.
  
  2.4
- C.
  
  300
- D.
  
  3,000
Correct Answer
D. 3,000

Explanation
The unknown resistance in the Wheatstone bridge can be calculated using the formula:

R3 = (R1 * R4) / R2

Plugging in the given values, we get:

R3 = (10k * 2.4k) / 720

Simplifying the expression:

R3 = 24k / 720

R3 = 30

Therefore, the unknown resistance is 3,000.

- C.
  
  Kirchhoff's current law and Ohm's law
- D.
  
  The superposition theorem and Thevenin's theorem
Correct Answer
A. Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws

Explanation
The branch current method uses Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws because these laws are fundamental principles in circuit analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage sources in that loop. Kirchhoff's current law states that the sum of currents entering a node is equal to the sum of currents leaving that node. These laws are essential for determining the currents flowing through different branches in a circuit using the branch current method.

To produce an 800 Hz sine wave, a four-pole generator must be operated at
- A.
  
  200 rps
- B.
  
  400 rps
- C.
  
  800 rps
- D.
  
  1,600 rps
Correct Answer
B. 400 rps

Explanation
To produce an 800 Hz sine wave, a four-pole generator must be operated at 400 rps. This is because the frequency of the output voltage of a generator is directly proportional to the rotational speed of the rotor. In a four-pole generator, each complete revolution of the rotor produces two cycles of the output voltage. Therefore, to generate a frequency of 800 Hz, the rotor must rotate at a speed of 400 revolutions per second (rps), which corresponds to 400 Hz.

- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. 26 V

Explanation
The peak-to-peak value of a sine wave is twice the peak value. Since the peak value is given as 13 V, the peak-to-peak value would be 2 times 13 V, which equals 26 V. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 V.

A signal with a 400 s period has a frequency of
- A.
  
  250 Hz
- B.
  
  2,500 Hz
- C.
  
  25,000 Hz
- D.
  
  400 Hz
Correct Answer
B. 2,500 Hz

Explanation
The frequency of a signal is the number of cycles it completes in one second. To find the frequency, we can use the formula: frequency = 1/period. In this case, the period is given as 400 s. Using the formula, we can calculate the frequency as 1/400 = 0.0025 Hz. However, the options provided are in Hz, so we need to convert the frequency to Hz by multiplying it by 1000. Therefore, the correct answer is 2,500 Hz.

A sawtooth wave has a period of 10 ms. Its frequency is
- A.
  
  10 Hz
- B.
  
  50 Hz
- C.
  
  100 Hz
- D.
  
  1000 Hz
Correct Answer
C. 100 Hz

Explanation
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles it completes in one second. Since the period of the sawtooth wave is given as 10 ms (milliseconds), we can find the frequency by taking the reciprocal of the period. 1/10 ms is equal to 100 Hz, which means the sawtooth wave completes 100 cycles in one second. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 Hz.

Explanation
In a three-phase system, when the loads are perfectly balanced, the neutral current is zero. This is because in a balanced system, the three phases carry equal currents and have equal magnitudes but are out of phase with each other by 120 degrees. As a result, the sum of the currents in the three phases cancels out at the neutral point, resulting in zero current flowing through the neutral conductor.

Current flows in a circuit when
- A.
  
  A switch is opened
- B.
  
  A switch is closed
- C.
  
  The switch is either open or closed
- D.

An electromagnetic field exists only when there is a current. This is because an electromagnetic field is created by the flow of electric current. When current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field, in turn, creates an electromagnetic field. Without the presence of current, there is no flow of electrons to generate the magnetic field, and therefore no electromagnetic field.

A 10 F, 20 F, 22 F, and 100 F capacitor are in parallel. The total capacitance is
- A.
  
  2.43 F
- B.
  
  4.86 F
- C.
  
  100 F
- D.
  
  152 F
Correct Answer
D. 152 F

Explanation
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is equal to the sum of the individual capacitances. Therefore, the total capacitance in this case would be 10F + 20F + 22F + 100F = 152F.

What is the capacitance when Q = 60 C and V = 12 V?
- A.
  
  720 F
- B.
  
  5 F
- C.
  
  50 F
- D.
  
  12 F
Correct Answer
B. 5 F

Explanation
The capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the charge stored on the capacitor to the voltage across it. In this case, the charge (Q) is given as 60 C and the voltage (V) is given as 12 V. By using the formula for capacitance, C = Q/V, we can calculate the capacitance as 60 C / 12 V = 5 F. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 F.

Which of the following capacitors is polarized?
- A.
  
  Mica
- B.
  
  Ceramic
- C.
  
  Plastic-film
- D.
  
  Electrolytic
Correct Answer
D. Electrolytic

Explanation
Electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors, meaning they have a positive and negative terminal. This is because they are constructed with an electrolyte solution and a thin oxide layer, which allows them to store large amounts of charge. The polarity is important because reversing the voltage can damage the capacitor. In contrast, mica, ceramic, and plastic-film capacitors are non-polarized and can be connected in either direction without any issues.

Of the following capacitors, which one has the highest dielectric constant?
- A.
  
  Air
- B.
  
  Mica
- C.

- D.
  
  Paper
Correct Answer
C. Glass

Explanation
Glass has the highest dielectric constant among the given options. The dielectric constant is a measure of the ability of a material to store electrical energy in an electric field. A higher dielectric constant indicates that the material can store more electrical energy. Glass has a higher dielectric constant compared to air, mica, and paper, making it the option with the highest dielectric constant.

When the plate area of a capacitor increases,
- A.
  
  The capacitance increases
- B.
  
  The capacitance decreases
- C.
  
  The capacitance is unaffected
- D.
  
  The voltage it can withstand increases.
Correct Answer
A. The capacitance increases

Explanation
When the plate area of a capacitor increases, the capacitance increases. This is because capacitance is directly proportional to the plate area of a capacitor. As the plate area increases, there is more surface area available for the electric field to store charge, resulting in an increase in capacitance.

When the voltage across a capacitor is tripled, the stored charge
- A.
  
  Triples
- B.
  
  Is cut to one-third
- C.
  
  Stays the same
- D.
  
  Doubles
Correct Answer
A. Triples

Explanation
When the voltage across a capacitor is tripled, the stored charge also triples. This is because the charge stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to the voltage across it. Therefore, when the voltage is increased by a factor of 3, the stored charge will also increase by the same factor.

When the turns ratio of a transformer is 20 and the primary ac voltage is 12 V, the secondary voltage is
- A.
  
  12 V
- B.
  
  120 V
- C.
  
  240 V
- D.
  
  2,400 V
Correct Answer
C. 240 V

Explanation
The secondary voltage of a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the turns ratio with the primary voltage. In this case, the turns ratio is given as 20 and the primary voltage is 12 V. Therefore, the secondary voltage would be 20 times 12 V, which equals 240 V.

  0.2
- B.
  
  0.4
- C.
  
  5
- D.
  
  25
Correct Answer
C. 5

Explanation
The turns ratio of a transformer is calculated by dividing the number of turns in the secondary winding by the number of turns in the primary winding. In this case, the transformer has 2,000 turns in the secondary winding and 400 turns in the primary winding. Therefore, the turns ratio is 5.

The mutual inductance when k = 0.65, L₁ = 2 H, and L₂ = 5 H is
- A.
  
  2 mH
- B.
  
  2 H
- C.
  
  4 H
- D.
  
  8 H
Correct Answer
B. 2 H

Explanation
The mutual inductance between two coils is given by the formula M = k * sqrt(L1 * L2), where k is the coupling coefficient, L1 is the inductance of the first coil, and L2 is the inductance of the second coil. In this case, k = 0.65, L1 = 2 H, and L2 = 5 H. Plugging these values into the formula, we get M = 0.65 * sqrt(2 * 5) = 0.65 * sqrt(10) ≈ 2 H. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 H.
