Correct Answer
C. Series

Explanation
To produce higher output voltage, dry cells should be connected in series. When dry cells are connected in series, the positive terminal of one cell is connected to the negative terminal of the next cell, creating a cumulative effect. This increases the total voltage output of the cells. In contrast, connecting cells in parallel would increase the total current output but not the voltage.

The larger the diameter of a copper wire
- A.
  
  The higher is the resistance of the wire
- B.
  
  The lower is the resistance of the wire
- C.
  
  The same is the resistance of the wire
- D.
  
  The balance is the resistance of the wire
Correct Answer
B. The lower is the resistance of the wire

Explanation
The larger the diameter of a copper wire, the lower is the resistance of the wire. This is because a larger diameter means there is more cross-sectional area for the current to flow through, resulting in less obstruction to the flow of electrons. As a result, there is less resistance to the flow of electric current in a wire with a larger diameter.

- C.
  
  The higher is the resistance of the wire
- D.
  
  There is NO resistance of the wire
Correct Answer
C. The higher is the resistance of the wire

Explanation
The longer the copper wire, the higher is the resistance of the wire. This is because resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire. As the length increases, the number of collisions between the moving electrons and the atoms in the wire also increases, resulting in a higher resistance.

The longer the copper wire,
- A.
  
  The lower is the resistance of the wire
- B.
  
  The higher is the resistance of the wire
- C.
  
  The stronger is the signal received
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. The higher is the resistance of the wire

Explanation
The statement "the higher is the resistance of the wire" is the correct answer because the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. This means that as the length of the copper wire increases, the resistance also increases. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that resistance is equal to the product of the resistivity of the material and the length of the wire, divided by its cross-sectional area. Therefore, the longer the copper wire, the higher its resistance.

In order to protect the station from lightning, all antenna system and equipment should be
- A.
  
  Terminated
- B.
  
  Option 2
- C.
  
  Shielded
- D.
  
  Grounded
Correct Answer
D. Grounded

Explanation
To protect the station from lightning, all antenna systems and equipment should be grounded. Grounding helps to divert the electrical current from lightning strikes safely into the ground, preventing damage to the equipment and reducing the risk of fire or electrical hazards. By providing a low-resistance path for the electrical energy, grounding ensures that any excess energy is dissipated harmlessly, rather than being transmitted through the equipment. This helps to protect both the station and the personnel working with the equipment from potential damage or injury caused by lightning strikes.

In order to protect a personnel and prevent shock, the equipment should be connected good earth ground through the
- A.
  
  LPG
- B.
  
  Hot water pipe
- C.
  
  Cold water pipe
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Cold water pipe

Explanation
To protect personnel and prevent shock, equipment should be connected to a good earth ground. The cold water pipe is a suitable choice for grounding because it is typically made of metal and is in contact with the earth. This provides a low-resistance path for electrical current to flow safely into the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock. The LPG and hot water pipe may not be suitable for grounding purposes.
