What generally causes harmonics
- A.
Common mode noise
- B.
Differential mode noise
- C.
Solid state devices
- D.
Power lines
Correct Answer
C. Solid state devicesExplanation
Solid state devices, such as transistors and diodes, can generate harmonics in electrical systems. This is because these devices switch on and off rapidly, creating sudden changes in current flow. These rapid changes in current can produce high-frequency harmonics, which are multiples of the fundamental frequency. Harmonics can cause issues in power systems, such as overheating of equipment, interference with communication systems, and increased energy losses. Therefore, solid state devices are a common source of harmonics in electrical systems.Rate this question:

The neutral conductor should be sized to carry ______ percent of the rated load
- A.
75%
- B.
100%
- C.
150%
- D.
200%
Correct Answer
D. 200%Explanation
The neutral conductor should be sized to carry 200% of the rated load. This means that the neutral conductor should have a capacity twice the size of the rated load. This is necessary to ensure that the neutral conductor can handle any imbalances in the load and prevent overloading. By sizing the neutral conductor at 200% of the rated load, it provides a safety margin and helps maintain the balance of the electrical system.Rate this question:

What tells the tranformers ability to dissipate heat.
- A.
H-rating
- B.
R-rating
- C.
K-rating
- D.
P-rating
Correct Answer
C. K-ratingExplanation
The K-rating of a transformer indicates its ability to dissipate heat. A higher K-rating means that the transformer is designed to handle higher levels of heat and can effectively dissipate it. This is important because transformers generate heat during operation, and if not properly dissipated, it can lead to overheating and damage to the transformer. Therefore, the K-rating is a crucial factor in determining the transformer's thermal performance and ensuring its safe and efficient operation.Rate this question:

The ampacity of a conductor is related to the conductors:
- A.
Size
- B.
Resistance
- C.
Temperature
- D.
Insulation
- E.
Power carrying capability
Correct Answer(s)
A. Size
C. Temperature
D. InsulationExplanation
The ampacity of a conductor refers to its ability to carry electrical current. The size of the conductor is an important factor in determining its ampacity, as larger conductors have more surface area for current to flow through. Temperature also affects the ampacity, as higher temperatures can cause the conductor to have a reduced carrying capacity. Additionally, the type and quality of insulation surrounding the conductor can impact its ampacity, as insulation helps to protect the conductor from overheating and potential damage. Therefore, the correct factors related to the ampacity of a conductor are size, temperature, and insulation.Rate this question:

- D.
Horsepower
Correct Answer
D. HorsepowerExplanation
A unit of mechanical power is a measure of the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred in a mechanical system. The decibel (dB) is a unit used to measure the intensity of sound, not mechanical power. The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, but it is a general unit used for all types of power, not specifically mechanical power. The ohm (Ω) is a unit of electrical resistance, not power. Horsepower (hp) is a unit commonly used to measure mechanical power, especially in the context of engines and motors.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 3.413Explanation
One watt is equal to 3.413 Btu. This conversion factor is used to convert between the units of power (watt) and energy (Btu). The Btu (British thermal unit) is a unit of energy commonly used in the United States, while the watt is the SI unit of power. Therefore, to convert from watt to Btu, we multiply the value in watt by 3.413.Rate this question:

What type of circuit do you have if voltage leads current.
- A.
Capaciative
- B.
Resistive
- C.
Inductive
Correct Answer
C. InductiveExplanation
If voltage leads current in a circuit, it means that the voltage waveform reaches its peak before the current waveform. This is a characteristic of an inductive circuit. Inductive circuits contain inductors, which store energy in a magnetic field. When the current changes, the magnetic field induces a voltage that opposes the change in current. As a result, the voltage leads the current in an inductive circuit.Rate this question:

What type of circuit do you have is current leads voltage
- A.
Capacative
- B.
Resistive
- C.
Inductive
Correct Answer
A. CapacativeExplanation
A capacitive circuit is one where the current leads the voltage. In a capacitive circuit, the current flow is ahead of the voltage waveform, meaning that the current reaches its peak before the voltage does. This is because in a capacitive circuit, the capacitor stores energy in an electric field and releases it back into the circuit, causing the current to lead the voltage.Rate this question:

- A.
Voltage
- B.
Wattage
- C.
Current
- D.
Resistance
Correct Answer
C. CurrentExplanation
Inductive impedance is the opposition to the change in current flow caused by the magnetic field coupling. As the magnetic field changes, it induces a voltage in the circuit, which in turn opposes the change in current flow. Therefore, the correct answer is current.Rate this question:

- D.
Resistance
Correct Answer
A. VoltageExplanation
Capacitive reactance (XC) is the portion of impedance that opposes a change in voltage due to electrical field coupling. In a capacitive circuit, the capacitive reactance increases as the frequency of the electrical signal increases. This means that as the voltage changes, the capacitive reactance opposes the change, resulting in a delay in the response of the circuit. Therefore, the correct answer is voltage.Rate this question:

Electrical power provided to commercial buildings and residences is in the form of:
- A.
DC
- B.
AC
- C.
Both AC and DC
Correct Answer
B. ACExplanation
The electrical power provided to commercial buildings and residences is in the form of AC (alternating current). AC is the most common form of electrical power used in these settings because it is more efficient for long-distance transmission and can easily be converted to different voltages. Unlike DC (direct current), which flows in only one direction, AC constantly changes direction, allowing for easier voltage regulation and reduced power loss. AC power is also compatible with most electrical devices and appliances used in commercial and residential settings.Rate this question:

Batteries store energy in:
- A.
Electrical form
- B.
Physical form
- C.
Chemical form
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Chemical formExplanation
Batteries store energy in chemical form. When a battery is charged, a chemical reaction occurs that converts electrical energy into chemical potential energy. This energy is stored in the battery until it is needed. When the battery is connected to a device, a chemical reaction is again triggered, converting the stored chemical energy back into electrical energy, which powers the device. This chemical reaction is what allows batteries to store and release energy efficiently.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Batteries do not actually store electricity, but rather they store chemical energy which is then converted into electrical energy when needed. When a battery is connected to a circuit, a chemical reaction occurs within the battery, causing a flow of electrons and generating an electric current. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that batteries store electricity directly.Rate this question:
