Which of the following is not a factor that determines the severity of electrical shock?
Correct Answer
A. Amount of voltage flowing through the body.
Explanation
The severity of an electrical shock is determined by the amount of current flowing through the body, the body's physical condition, and the time of exposure. The amount of voltage flowing through the body is not a factor that determines the severity of the shock. Voltage is the force that pushes the current through the body, but the actual harm is caused by the current.
35.
Which type of radiation produces heat in body tissues with little or no sensation of skin heating?
Correct Answer
A. Non-ionizing.
Explanation
Non-ionizing radiation produces heat in body tissues with little or no sensation of skin heating. This type of radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, and infrared radiation. Unlike ionizing radiation, which can cause damage to cells and DNA, non-ionizing radiation has lower energy levels and does not have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms or molecules.

Additionally, grounding helps reduce noise interference in electrical systems, improving the overall performance and reliability of equipment.
45.
Which system is not a subsystem of the facility ground system?
Correct Answer
C. Fault distribution.
Explanation
The fault distribution system is not a subsystem of the facility ground system because it is responsible for detecting and isolating faults in electrical circuits, ensuring the safe operation of the system. On the other hand, the facility ground system consists of components like earth electrodes, signal references, and lightning protection, which are primarily designed to provide grounding and protect against electrical surges and lightning strikes. Therefore, fault distribution does not fall under the category of subsystems related to grounding and protection in the facility ground system.
46.
Which resistance should an earth electrode subsystem bond not exceed?
Correct Answer
B. 1 milliohm (mΩ).
Explanation
The resistance of an earth electrode subsystem should not exceed 1 milliohm (mΩ). This is because a low resistance ensures effective grounding and minimizes the risk of electrical shock or damage to equipment. A resistance of 0 ohm would be ideal, but in practice, achieving a complete absence of resistance is not possible. Therefore, the maximum allowable resistance is set at 1 milliohm to ensure safe and efficient grounding.
47.
