When there are eight electrons in the outer most shell of an atom, it is considered
- A.
Charged
- B.
Unstable
- C.
Complete
- D.
Stable
Correct Answer
D. StableExplanation
When there are eight electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, it is considered stable. This is because the outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, is fully filled with electrons, following the octet rule. This configuration gives the atom a stable electronic arrangement, as it has achieved a full outer shell, similar to the noble gases. Stable atoms are less likely to react with other elements and tend to have lower reactivity.Rate this question:

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.
- A.
I3=5 amps and IT=14 amps
- B.
I3=4 amps and IT=9 amps
- C.
I3=4 amps and IT=18 amps
- D.
Not enough information to solve
Correct Answer
B. I3=4 amps and IT=9 ampsExplanation
In a series-parallel circuit, the total current (IT) is equal to the sum of the currents in the series and parallel branches. Since I1 is the series current and I2 is the current in the parallel branches, we can calculate IT by adding I1 and I2 together. Given that I1 = 9 amps and I2 = 5 amps, IT = 9 + 5 = 14 amps.
To find the value of I3, we can use the fact that the current in a parallel branch splits between the two branches. Since I2 is 5 amps and the total current in the parallel branches is 9 amps (I1), the remaining current must be 4 amps (9 - 5 = 4). Therefore, I3 = 4 amps.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Mutual inductionExplanation
Mutual induction is the basic principle of transformer operation. It refers to the phenomenon where a changing current in one coil induces a voltage in another coil placed nearby. In a transformer, the primary coil carries the alternating current, creating a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field then induces a voltage in the secondary coil, allowing for the transfer of electrical energy from one circuit to another. Mutual induction is essential for the functioning of transformers and is the reason why they can step up or step down voltage levels.Rate this question:

- B.
Applied voltage leads current by 90 degrees
- C.
Has the ability to conduct in one direction and not the other.
- D.
Has the ability to conduct in all directions when gated or discharged.
Correct Answer
A. Current leads applied voltage by 90 degrees.Explanation
A capacitive circuit is characterized by the fact that the current leads the applied voltage by 90 degrees. This means that the current reaches its peak value before the voltage does. This behavior is due to the nature of a capacitor, which stores energy in an electric field and releases it as current. As the voltage across the capacitor increases, the current starts to flow, but it takes some time for the voltage to reach its peak value. Therefore, the current leads the voltage in a capacitive circuit.Rate this question:

A bridge rectifier is installed in an alternating current (AC) circuit to
- A.
Decrease direct current (DC) pulses
- B.
Provide fullwave rectification
- C.
Provide halfwave rectification
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Provide fullwave rectificationExplanation
A bridge rectifier is a circuit that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by utilizing a combination of diodes. Fullwave rectification refers to the conversion of the entire AC waveform into a pulsating DC waveform. In a bridge rectifier, four diodes are arranged in a bridge configuration, allowing both the positive and negative halves of the AC waveform to be rectified. This results in a smoother and more consistent DC output compared to halfwave rectification, where only one half of the AC waveform is rectified. Therefore, the purpose of installing a bridge rectifier in an AC circuit is to provide fullwave rectification.Rate this question:

- C.
In parallel to the resistor
- D.
In series with the resistor
Correct Answer
A. In parallel to the loadExplanation
A zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in a solid state circuit to regulate voltage. When connected in parallel, the zener diode acts as a voltage regulator by maintaining a constant voltage across the load. It achieves this by allowing current to flow through it in the reverse direction when the voltage across the load exceeds the zener voltage. This causes the excess voltage to be dropped across the zener diode, keeping the voltage across the load constant.Rate this question:

- D.
Forward biased
Correct Answer
C. In parallel to the loadExplanation
A zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in order to protect it. When the voltage across the load exceeds the breakdown voltage of the zener diode, it starts conducting and limits the voltage to the breakdown voltage. This ensures that the load does not receive a voltage higher than the desired level, protecting it from damage. By connecting the zener diode in parallel to the load, it provides a low resistance path for excessive voltage, effectively shunting away the excess current and protecting the load.Rate this question:

This action occurs when the B809A generator set alternating current (AC) card senses an AC supply fault
- A.
Only generator output stops
- B.
Only the AC contactor opens
- C.
AC supply warning light illuminates
- D.
AC contactor opens and generator output stops
Correct Answer
D. AC contactor opens and generator output stopsExplanation
When the B809A generator set AC card detects a fault in the AC supply, it triggers the opening of the AC contactor. This action interrupts the flow of electricity from the generator, causing the generator output to stop. Therefore, the correct answer is that the AC contactor opens and the generator output stops.Rate this question:

While operating a B809A generator, which switch is closed to provide potential to the exciter field?
- A.
S1, master switch
- B.
S5, run/idle toggle switch
- C.
S3, interlock toggle switch
- D.
PB2, output control pushbutton switch
Correct Answer
B. S5, run/idle toggle switchExplanation
The correct answer is S5, run/idle toggle switch. This switch is closed to provide potential to the exciter field while operating the B809A generator. The exciter field is responsible for generating the necessary magnetic field to induce voltage in the generator's stator windings. By closing the S5 switch, the exciter field is energized, allowing the generator to produce electricity.Rate this question:

During high voltage operation of the B809A generator set, what action occurs to prevent the direct current (DC) contactors from closing?
- A.
High sense relay (HSR) energizes
- B.
Interlock (INT) relay energizes
- C.
INT relay de-energizes
- D.
HSR de-energizes
Correct Answer
D. HSR de-energizesExplanation
During high voltage operation of the B809A generator set, the High sense relay (HSR) is responsible for monitoring the voltage levels. When the voltage reaches a certain threshold, the HSR de-energizes, which means it stops supplying power to the direct current (DC) contactors. This action prevents the DC contactors from closing and ensures that the generator set operates safely during high voltage conditions.Rate this question:

If there is a loss of residual magnetism in the exciter field poles
- A.
Connect TB4–11 to 14 volt direct current (VDC) power source
- B.
Check the field transformer
- C.
Field flash the generator
- D.
Check the fault display
Correct Answer
C. Field flash the generatorExplanation
When there is a loss of residual magnetism in the exciter field poles, the generator needs to be field flashed. Field flashing involves connecting TB4-11 to a 14-volt direct current power source. This process helps to restore the residual magnetism in the field poles and allows the generator to produce electricity. Checking the field transformer and the fault display are also necessary steps to identify and address any potential issues that may have caused the loss of residual magnetism.Rate this question:
