    In an atom, what electrons contain the most energy?

    • The energy is shared equally be all electrons

    • Orbiting electrons

    • Valence electrons

    • K shell electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. Valence electrons
    Explanation
    Valence electrons contain the most energy in an atom. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom's electron cloud and are involved in chemical reactions. These electrons are farther from the nucleus and experience less attraction, resulting in higher energy levels. The other options, such as orbiting electrons and K shell electrons, are not necessarily incorrect, but they do not specifically refer to the electrons with the most energy.

    If there are eight electrons in the outer most sheel of an atom, then its considered

    • Complete

    • Unstable

    • Charged

    • Stable

    Correct Answer
    A. Stable
    Explanation
    If there are eight electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, it is considered stable. This is because the octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration with eight electrons in their outermost shell. Having a full outer shell of electrons makes the atom less likely to react with other atoms and more stable overall.

    If a negative potential is connected to cathode and a positive potential is connected to anode of a PN junction, the diode is

    • Not allowing current to flow

    • Forward biased

    • Reverse biased

    • Turned on

    Correct Answer
    A. Forward biased
    Explanation
    When a negative potential is connected to the cathode and a positive potential is connected to the anode of a PN junction, the diode is forward biased. In this configuration, the positive potential attracts the free electrons in the N-region towards the junction, while the negative potential attracts the holes in the P-region towards the junction. This creates a low resistance path for current to flow through the diode, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode. Therefore, the diode is forward biased in this scenario.

    In an inductive circuit, what is meant by current lags volatge by 90 degrees?

    • Current is zero when voltage is zero; voltage is maximum when current is maximum

    • Current is maximum when voltage is zero; voltage is maximum when current is zero.

    • If current decreases, voltage aids the decrese.

    • If current increses, voltage aids the increase

    Correct Answer
    A. Current is maximum when voltage is zero; voltage is maximum when current is zero.
    Explanation
    In an inductive circuit, current lags voltage by 90 degrees means that the current reaches its maximum value when the voltage is at its minimum value, and vice versa. This is because in an inductive circuit, the current takes time to build up due to the presence of inductance, causing it to lag behind the voltage. When the voltage is at its maximum value, the current has not yet reached its maximum and is still increasing. Similarly, when the current is at its maximum value, the voltage has already started to decrease.

    In a series-parallel circuit, find RT (total resistance) if series resistor R1=7 ohms, and parallel resistor R2 and R3= 8 ohms.

    • 23 ohms

    • 15 ohms

    • 11 ohms

    • 8 ohms

    Correct Answer
    A. 11 ohms
    Explanation
    In a series-parallel circuit, the total resistance (RT) is calculated by adding the resistances in the series portion and the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances in the parallel portion. In this case, the series resistor R1 is 7 ohms, and the parallel resistors R2 and R3 are 8 ohms each. The sum of the series resistors is 7 ohms. The reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the parallel resistors is 1/((1/8)+(1/8)) = 4 ohms. Adding the series and parallel portions, we get 7 ohms + 4 ohms = 11 ohms, which is the total resistance (RT) in the circuit.

    In a series-parallel circuit, the series current at I1 = 9 amps; in the two parallel branches, I2 = 5 amps; and the value of I3 is not listed. Use Ohm's law to find the value of I3 and IT.

    • I3 = 5 AMPS AND IT = 14 AMPS

    • I3 = 4 AMPS AND IT = 9 AMPS

    • I3 = 4 AMPS AND IT = 18AMPS

    • Not enough information to solve

    Correct Answer
    A. I3 = 4 AMPS AND IT = 9 AMPS
    Explanation
    In a series-parallel circuit, the total current (IT) is equal to the sum of the currents in the series and parallel branches. In this case, the series current (I1) is given as 9 amps and the parallel current (I2) is given as 5 amps. To find the total current, we add these two currents together: IT = I1 + I2 = 9 + 5 = 14 amps. Since the value of I3 is not listed, we cannot determine its value. Therefore, the correct answer is I3 = 4 amps and IT = 9 amps.

    In what type of circut(s) does a capacitor oppose any change in voltage?

    • Alternatin current (AC) and direct current(DC)

    • Pulsating DC

    • Pure DC

    • AC

    Correct Answer
    A. AC
    Explanation
    A capacitor opposes any change in voltage in AC circuits because it can store and release electrical energy in response to alternating current. As the AC voltage changes direction, the capacitor charges and discharges, creating a phase shift between the voltage and current. This opposition to voltage change is due to the ability of the capacitor to store charge and resist sudden changes in voltage. In DC circuits, the capacitor charges to a steady voltage and does not oppose any change in voltage, making it ineffective in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is AC.

    An A/M32A-86D is operation and the alternating current (AC) votlmeter is readin 200 volts alternating current (VAC) on all three phases. What do you do?

    • Adjust VR1

    • Adjust R61

    • Adjust VR1 or R61

    • Switch S15 to the L-N position

    Correct Answer
    A. Switch S15 to the L-N position
    Explanation
    Switch S15 to the L-N position. This is the correct answer because if the AC voltmeter is reading 200 volts AC on all three phases, it indicates that the voltmeter is currently measuring the voltage between two phases (L-L) instead of between a phase and neutral (L-N). By switching S15 to the L-N position, the voltmeter will now measure the correct voltage between a phase and neutral. Adjusting VR1 or R61 would not be necessary in this situation as the issue is with the position of the switch.

    What section of the A/M32A-60 gas turbine engine load control valve controls the opening time?

    • Diaphram

    • Rate control

    • Load control

    • Mechanical linkage

    Correct Answer
    A. Rate control
    Explanation
    The rate control section of the A/M32A-60 gas turbine engine load control valve controls the opening time. This means that the rate control mechanism determines how quickly or slowly the valve opens, allowing for precise control over the amount of gas flowing through the turbine engine. This section is responsible for regulating the rate at which the valve opens, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency of the engine. The diaphragm, load control, and mechanical linkage sections may play other roles in the valve's operation, but they do not specifically control the opening time.

    What transformer winding acts as a conductor and provides the path into which the voltage is induced?

    • Field

    • Primary

    • Secondary

    • Stationary

    Correct Answer
    A. Secondary
    Explanation
    The secondary winding of a transformer acts as a conductor and provides the path into which the voltage is induced. When an alternating current is applied to the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field which induces a voltage in the secondary winding. This voltage can then be used to power electrical devices or be further transformed to different voltage levels. The secondary winding is typically connected to the load and is responsible for delivering the desired output voltage.

    In a circuit using a bridge rectifier, how many diodes are forward biased during the first cycle of alternating current (AC)

    • 4

    • 3

    • 2

    • 1

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    During the first cycle of alternating current (AC) in a circuit using a bridge rectifier, two diodes are forward biased. The bridge rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration. During the positive half-cycle of the AC, two diodes become forward biased and conduct, allowing the current to flow through them. The other two diodes become reverse biased and do not conduct. This arrangement ensures that the AC input is converted into a pulsating DC output.

    The most positive point in a PNP  bipolar transistor is the

    • Load circuit

    • Collector

    • Emitter

    • Base

    Correct Answer
    A. Emitter
    Explanation
    The emitter is the most positive point in a PNP bipolar transistor because it is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. This allows current to flow from the emitter to the base and collector, enabling the transistor to amplify signals and control the flow of current in the circuit. The emitter is responsible for emitting the majority charge carriers (electrons or holes) into the base region, which then controls the transistor's behavior.

    To test the loas contactor relay K1, using test probes, in what position must the automatic-manual voltage control be placed?

    • AUTOMATIC

    • MANUAL

    • TEST

    • OFF

    Correct Answer
    A. AUTOMATIC
    Explanation
    The correct answer is AUTOMATIC because in order to test the loas contactor relay K1, the automatic-manual voltage control must be placed in the automatic position. This is because the automatic position allows the voltage control to operate automatically, which is necessary for testing the relay. Placing it in any other position would not allow for proper testing of the relay.

    What are the minority carriers in a P-type material?

    • Holes

    • Protons

    • Neutrons

    • Electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons
    Explanation
    In a P-type material, majority carriers are holes, which are created due to the presence of acceptor impurities. Minority carriers, on the other hand, are the carriers that are present in lower concentrations compared to the majority carriers. In a P-type material, the minority carriers are electrons. These electrons are thermally generated and are present in small numbers due to the low concentration of donor impurities in the material. Therefore, the correct answer is electrons.

    How is a zener diod connected in a circuit to regulate voltage?

    • In paralle to the load

    • In series with the load

    • In parallel to the resistor

    • In series with the resistor

    Correct Answer
    A. In paralle to the load
    Explanation
    A zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in a circuit to regulate voltage. When connected in this way, the zener diode acts as a voltage regulator by maintaining a constant voltage across the load. It does this by conducting current in the reverse direction once the voltage across it exceeds its breakdown voltage. This ensures that the voltage across the load remains constant, even if the input voltage fluctuates. Connecting the zener diode in parallel to the load allows it to shunt excess current and maintain a stable voltage output.

    If the arrow in a bipolar transistor is pointing away from the base, what type of transistor is it?

    • N-type

    • P-type

    • NPN

    • PNP

    Correct Answer
    A. NPN
    Explanation
    If the arrow in a bipolar transistor is pointing away from the base, it indicates that the transistor is an NPN type. In an NPN transistor, the majority charge carriers are electrons, and the arrow represents the direction of the conventional current flow. The base region is P-type, while the emitter and collector regions are N-type. The arrow pointing away from the base signifies the flow of electrons from the emitter to the collector, which is characteristic of an NPN transistor.

    Apparent power is measured in

    • Kilovolts(KV)

    • Kilowatts(KW)

    • Kilo-volt-amperes(KVA)

    • Kilo-watts-amperes(KWA)

    Correct Answer
    A. Kilo-volt-amperes(KVA)
    Explanation
    Apparent power is the combination of real power and reactive power in an AC circuit. It is measured in kilo-volt-amperes (KVA) because it represents the total power consumed by the circuit, taking into account both the voltage and current. Kilowatts (KW) and kilo-volt-amperes (KVA) are similar, but KVA includes the reactive power component, which is important in determining the overall power requirements and sizing of electrical equipment. Kilo-watts-amperes (KWA) is not a standard unit of measurement and is not commonly used in electrical engineering.
