    What does the term 'AC' in AC power supply stand for?

    • Alternating Current

    • Amplified Current

    • Alternating Charge

    • Amplified Charge

    Correct Answer
    A. Alternating Current
    Explanation
    The term 'AC' in AC power supply stands for Alternating Current. AC power is a type of electrical current where the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction. This reversal of direction occurs at a certain frequency, usually measured in hertz (Hz).

    What does the symbol 'Ω' represent in electrical circuits?

    • Ohm

    • Watt

    • Ampere

    • Volt

    Correct Answer
    A. Ohm
    Explanation
    The symbol 'Ω' represents ohms in electrical circuits. Ohms are the unit of measurement for electrical resistance, indicating the opposition that a material offers to the flow of electric current.

    What is the purpose of a fuse in an electrical circuit?

    • To increase resistance

    • To control current

    • To generate electricity

    • To store electrical energy

    Correct Answer
    A. To control current
    Explanation
    The purpose of a fuse in an electrical circuit is to control current. A fuse is a safety device that is designed to protect electrical circuits and equipment from excessive current. It acts as a sacrificial element in the circuit, typically made of a material with a lower melting point than the rest of the circuit components.

    What is the unit used to measure electric current?

    • Volt

    • Ampere

    • Ohm

    • Watt

    Correct Answer
    A. Ampere
    Explanation
    The unit used to measure electric current is Ampere (A). The ampere quantifies the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. Current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons in a conductor, and it is a fundamental concept in electrical engineering.

    What is the color coding for a live wire in electrical wiring?

    • Gray

    • Green

    • White

    • Red

    Correct Answer
    A. Red
    Explanation
    The color coding for a live (hot) wire in electrical wiring varies by region and country. In many countries, including the United States and Canada, the standard color for a live wire is black, red, or any color other than green, white, or gray. These colors are used to indicate the presence of voltage and are associated with the active conductors in a power circuit.

    What is the formula to calculate electrical power?

    • P = W/V

    • P = IV

    • P = V/R

    • P = E/t

    Correct Answer
    A. P = IV
    Explanation
    This formula expresses the relationship between power, current, and voltage in an electrical circuit. The power in a circuit can also be calculated using other related formulas, such as P = V²/R (where R is resistance) or P = I²R (where R is resistance). However, the formula P = IV is particularly useful when dealing with direct current (DC) circuits and is a fundamental equation in electrical engineering.

    What is the function of a transformer in electrical systems?

    • To store electrical energy

    • To convert AC to DC

    • To control current

    • To change voltage levels

    Correct Answer
    A. To change voltage levels
    Explanation
    The function of a transformer in electrical systems is to change voltage levels. A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. It consists of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary coils, which are usually wound around a common iron core.

    What is the SI unit of electric potential difference?

    • Ohm

    • Joule

    • Coulomb

    • Volt

    Correct Answer
    A. Volt
    Explanation
    The volt (V) is the standard unit of measurement for electric potential difference, commonly referred to as voltage. Electric potential difference is a measure of the electrical potential energy per unit charge in an electric circuit.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the process called by which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy?

    • Induction

    • Conduction

    • Electrolysis

    • Electric Motor

    Correct Answer
    A. Electric Motor
    Explanation
    The process by which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy is called electromechanical conversion or electromechanical transduction. This conversion is commonly achieved through devices known as electric motors.
