Direct buried cables must be arranged so as to prevent damage when the ground settles because settling ground can cause stress and strain on the cables, leading to potential damage or failure. By properly arranging the cables, such as using proper supports and avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension, the risk of damage from ground settling can be minimized. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the cables in underground installations.
20.
A technician experiences sudden weakness on the right side of her body and is having trouble speaking and understanding simple statements. What is the likely cause of her symptoms?
Correct Answer
B. Stroke
Explanation
The likely cause of the technician's symptoms is a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. This can result in sudden weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and trouble understanding simple statements. Dehydration, low blood sugar, and high blood sugar can cause various symptoms, but they are not typically associated with sudden weakness and speech problems like a stroke.
21.
If a system draws 500mA, approximately how long will a 7Ah battery last?
Correct Answer
C. 14 hours
Explanation
If a system draws 500mA, it means it consumes 0.5 Amps of current. The capacity of the battery is given as 7Ah, which means it can provide 7 Amps of current for 1 hour. To find out how long the battery will last, we divide the battery capacity (7Ah) by the current drawn by the system (0.5A). This gives us 14 hours, which means the battery will last for approximately 14 hours when the system draws 500mA of current.
22.
Any physical assault, threatening behavior, or verbal abuse that occurs in an employment setting is called:
Correct Answer
D. Harassment
Explanation
Harassment refers to any physical assault, threatening behavior, or verbal abuse that occurs in an employment setting.

0.0500A is equivalent to 50 milliamperes (mA). This measurement represents a current of 0.0500 amperes, where each milliampere is one-thousandth of an ampere. It is commonly used to express small electrical currents in electronic circuits and devices.
24.
When measuring current draw in a circuit, meter leads must be placed:
Correct Answer
C. In series with the circuit with the circuit intact
Explanation
When measuring current draw in a circuit, the meter leads must be placed in series with the circuit with the circuit intact. This is because in series connection, the current flowing through the circuit is the same as the current flowing through the meter. Placing the meter leads in parallel with the circuit would create a short circuit, causing a large current to flow and potentially damaging the meter or the circuit. Additionally, removing power from the circuit is not necessary as the meter itself has a very high resistance, allowing it to measure current without interfering with the circuit.
25.
What shortcut calculation is used to approximate the total resistance of a circuit that includes several identical devices wired in parallel?
Correct Answer
A. Divide the source voltage by the resistance of one of the devices
Explanation
To approximate the total resistance of a circuit that includes several identical devices wired in parallel, the shortcut calculation used is to divide the source voltage by the resistance of one of the devices. This is because when devices are wired in parallel, the total resistance decreases. By dividing the source voltage by the resistance of one device, we can find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
