    (203) You can identify a fitting that has pipe threads by its

    • Color

    • Taper

    • Length

    • Inside diameter

    Correct Answer
    A. Taper
    Explanation
    A fitting that has pipe threads can be identified by its taper. Pipe threads have a tapered shape, meaning that the diameter of the threads gradually decreases towards the end. This taper allows the fitting to create a tight seal when screwed into another fitting or pipe with matching threads. By recognizing the taper on the fitting, one can determine that it is designed for use with pipe threads.

    (214) You prepped the wire and are ready to solder a cup terminal. What is your next step?

    • Insert the tinned wire.

    • Melt a small amount of solder inside the terminal.

    • Measure the insulation clearance from the end of the terminal to the insulation.

    • Remove flux and impurities with a medium-stiff brush dipped in cleaning solvent.

    Correct Answer
    A. Melt a small amount of solder inside the terminal.
    Explanation
    After prepping the wire, the next step is to melt a small amount of solder inside the terminal. This is done to ensure a secure and strong connection between the wire and the terminal. The melted solder will fill any gaps or spaces inside the terminal, creating a solid bond. This step is crucial in achieving a reliable and durable solder joint.

    (215) How many British thermal units (BTU) does it take to raise the temperature of 5 pounds of water 5ï‚° Fahrenheit (F)?

    • 1

    • 5

    • 17

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 25
    Explanation
    To calculate the number of British thermal units (BTU) required to raise the temperature of water, we need to use the specific heat capacity of water. The specific heat capacity of water is 1 BTU/lb.°F. In this case, we have 5 pounds of water and we need to raise the temperature by 5°F. Therefore, the calculation would be 5 pounds * 5°F * 1 BTU/lb.°F = 25 BTU. Thus, it takes 25 BTU to raise the temperature of 5 pounds of water by 5°F.

    (222) To compute capacitance, you must know the

    • Size of the plates, voltage applied, and current flow.

    • Size of the capacitor, voltage applied, and current flow.

    • Plate area, distance between the plates, and type of dielectric.

    • Distance between the plates, type of dielectric, and voltage applied.

    Correct Answer
    A. Plate area, distance between the plates, and type of dielectric.
    Explanation
    To compute capacitance, one must consider the plate area, distance between the plates, and type of dielectric. The plate area is important because a larger area allows for more charge to be stored on the plates. The distance between the plates is crucial because a smaller distance allows for a stronger electric field, resulting in a higher capacitance. The type of dielectric affects the capacitance because different materials have different abilities to store charge. Therefore, all three factors - plate area, distance between the plates, and type of dielectric - are necessary to accurately calculate the capacitance.

    (205) All wire groups or bundles must be tied when supports are more than

    • 6 inches apart.

    • 8 inches apart.

    • 10 inches apart.

    • 12 inches apart.

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 inches apart.
    Explanation
    When wire supports are more than 12 inches apart, it is necessary to tie all wire groups or bundles together. This is because without tying them, the wires may sag or become loose, which can lead to potential hazards such as electrical shorts or damage to the wires. By tying the wire groups or bundles, they are held securely in place and maintain proper alignment and tension, ensuring the safety and functionality of the wiring system.

    (213) Which choice best describes a good solder connection?

    • A dull gray appearance.

    • No pits or holes and has a good concave fillet.

    • No pits or holes and has a good convex fillet.

    • Bright and shiny with a minimum amount of pits or holes.

    Correct Answer
    A. No pits or holes and has a good concave fillet.
    Explanation
    A good solder connection should have no pits or holes, indicating that the solder has properly filled in the joint and there are no gaps or voids. Additionally, it should have a good concave fillet, meaning that the solder has formed a smooth, curved shape that indicates a strong bond between the components being soldered.

    (228) Which logic gate has a high output when all inputs are low?

    • OR.

    • AND.

    • NOR.

    • Inverted.

    Correct Answer
    A. NOR.
    Explanation
    The NOR gate is the correct answer because it produces a high output only when all of its inputs are low. This means that if any input to the NOR gate is high, the output will be low. Therefore, the NOR gate is often used as a universal gate because it can be used to implement any other logic gate.

    (236) The neutralizing agent for sulfuric acid is

    • Bicarbonate of soda.

    • Distilled water.

    • Boric acid.

    • Water.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bicarbonate of soda.
    Explanation
    Bicarbonate of soda, also known as baking soda, is the correct neutralizing agent for sulfuric acid. When sulfuric acid reacts with bicarbonate of soda, it forms carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt called sodium sulfate. This reaction helps to neutralize the acidity of sulfuric acid and reduce its corrosive properties. Distilled water, boric acid, and regular water do not have the ability to neutralize sulfuric acid. Therefore, bicarbonate of soda is the most suitable neutralizing agent in this case.

    (206) The indent-type crimping tool should be used only on

    • Preinsulated splices.

    • Preinsulated terminals.

    • Noninsulated terminals.

    • Noninsulated terminal boards.

    Correct Answer
    A. Noninsulated terminals.
    Explanation
    The indent-type crimping tool should be used only on noninsulated terminals. This is because the tool is specifically designed to create a secure and reliable connection between the wire and the terminal. Noninsulated terminals do not have any protective covering or insulation, so using the indent-type crimping tool ensures that the connection is properly made without damaging the terminal or causing any electrical issues. On the other hand, preinsulated splices and terminals already have insulation, so using the indent-type crimping tool may damage the insulation or result in an unreliable connection.
