  • 2. 

    In wiring diagrams and electrical schematic drawings, where is the positive side drawn?

    • Top

    • Bottom

    • Left hand side

    • Right hand side

    Correct Answer
    A. Top
    Explanation
    As far as wiring diagrams are concerned, electricity flows (mostly) from top to bottom.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    For a higher current circuit you would want what sort of gauge wire?

    • Smaller gauge number

    • Larger gauge number

    • Doesn’t matter, because current isn’t affected by wire gauge

    • 14 gauge wire is the best for high current circuits

    Correct Answer
    A. Smaller gauge number
    Explanation
    In another example of technical backwardness, smaller gauge numbers means larger wire, which means more current can flow through it.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A relay uses _________ to _____________?

    • Low voltage; activate a high voltage circuit

    • Low resistance; activate a high resistance circuit

    • High current; activate a low current circuit

    • Low current; activate a high current circuit

    Correct Answer
    A. Low current; activate a high current circuit
    Explanation
    Basically, a small flashlight's worth of current can switch a high beam light level of current. It's a convenient way of controlling circuits.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    You’re adding 4 bush lights at 3 ohms each. What rating of fuse should you use to protect the new circuit? (use a “surge factor” of 1.5)

    • 16 A

    • 12 A

    • 24 A

    • 8 A

    Correct Answer
    A. 24 A
    Explanation
    A = V/Ohms.
    A = 12V/3 Ohms
    A = 4
    4A x 4 lights = 16A
    16A x 1.5 (surge factor) = 24A
