Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
A good conductor requires only 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and they are responsible for the atom's ability to form bonds and participate in chemical reactions. In the case of conductors, having fewer valence electrons allows for easier movement of electrons, which is necessary for the material to conduct electricity effectively. Therefore, a material with 3 valence electrons would be more likely to be a good conductor compared to materials with 4, 5, or 6 valence electrons.Rate this question:

An atom with eight electrons in its outermost shell is said to be
- A.
Free
- B.
Stable
- C.
Valence
- D.
Ionized
Correct Answer
B. StableExplanation
An atom with eight electrons in its outermost shell is said to be stable. This is because the octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, which is the most stable configuration. Having a full outer shell allows the atom to have a lower energy state and be less likely to react with other atoms. Therefore, an atom with eight electrons in its outermost shell is considered stable.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 22 ohmsExplanation
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is calculated using the formula 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... In this case, we have two branches with different voltages and currents. To find the resistance of each branch, we can use Ohm's law: R = V/I. For the first branch, R1 = 440v/4a = 110 ohms. For the second branch, R2 = 440v/16a = 27.5 ohms. Adding the reciprocals of these resistances gives 1/Rt = 1/110 + 1/27.5. Simplifying this equation gives Rt = 22 ohms.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Series part of the circuit and divides according to branch resistance in the parallel portionExplanation
In a series-parallel circuit, the total current remains the same throughout the parallel portion of the circuit. This means that the current flowing through each branch in the parallel portion is equal. However, in the series portion of the circuit, the current divides according to the component resistance. This means that the current flowing through each component in the series portion is different and depends on the resistance of that component. Therefore, the correct answer is that the total current in a series-parallel circuit remains the same throughout the parallel portion of the circuit and divides according to branch resistance in the series portion.Rate this question:

- B.
6a
- C.
8a
- D.
12a
Correct Answer
B. 6aExplanation
In a series-parallel circuit, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch. Given that the series current is 6 amps and one branch current is 2 amps, the other branch current can be found by subtracting the series current from the total current. So, the other branch current is 6 amps - 2 amps = 4 amps. Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 2 amps + 4 amps = 6 amps.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. PowerExplanation
A transformer is a device that is used to change the voltage of an alternating current (AC) electrical supply. It works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an AC current flows through the primary coil of the transformer, it creates a changing magnetic field which induces a voltage in the secondary coil. This voltage can be higher or lower than the input voltage, depending on the turns ratio of the transformer. However, a transformer does not change the power of the electrical supply. Power is the product of voltage and current, and since the transformer only changes the voltage and not the current, the power remains constant.Rate this question:

- A.
JFET
- B.
IGFET
- C.
Dual-gate MOSFET
- D.
Induced channel MOSFET
Correct Answer
D. Induced channel MOSFETExplanation
The induced channel MOSFET is the type of field-effect transistor (FET) that has no built-in connection between the source and drain. In this type of FET, the channel is formed by the induced charge carriers in the substrate, and there is no physical connection between the source and drain regions. This allows for better control of the channel and reduces leakage current. JFET, IGFET, and dual-gate MOSFET all have a built-in connection between the source and drain.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
A Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) is made up of two semiconductors. The MOV is a voltage-dependent resistor that is commonly used to protect electrical devices from high voltage surges. It consists of a ceramic disc made of metal oxides, such as zinc oxide, which acts as a semiconductor. The two semiconductors within the MOV allow it to have a high resistance when the voltage across it is low, and a low resistance when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold. This characteristic helps to divert excess voltage away from sensitive electronic components, protecting them from damage.Rate this question:
