    A. 1000 ohms resistance is needed to 1 milliamp of current at FSD
    Explanation
    An ohmmeter with a sensitivity of 10,000 per volt means that for every volt applied, the ohmmeter will read 10,000 ohms. Therefore, if 1 milliamp of current is applied at full scale deflection (FSD), the ohmmeter will read 10,000 ohms. So, 1000 ohms resistance is needed to produce 1 milliamp of current at FSD.

    Which of the following is a temporary splice type?

    • Butt splice

    • Ring terminal

    • Knife splice

    Correct Answer
    A. Knife splice
    Explanation
    A knife splice is a temporary splice type used to join two wires together. It involves stripping the insulation from the ends of the wires, overlapping them, and then wrapping them tightly with electrical tape. This type of splice is typically used when a permanent connection is not required, such as during testing or troubleshooting. It can easily be undone by removing the tape and separating the wires, making it a temporary solution. Butt splice and ring terminal, on the other hand, are permanent splice types used for secure and long-lasting connections.

    Which of the following is not allowed when installing a coaxial cable?

    • Tying using waxed string.

    • Using a cable ties/ tie wraps

    • Cable runs are as short as possible.

    Correct Answer
    A. Using a cable ties/ tie wraps
    Explanation
    Using cable ties or tie wraps is not allowed when installing a coaxial cable. This is because cable ties or tie wraps can exert too much pressure on the cable, which can lead to signal loss or damage. It is recommended to use other methods such as clips or clamps to secure the coaxial cable instead.

    What device is used to subtitute loads in an electrical system?

    • Attenuators

    • Decade Boxes

    • Capacitors

    Correct Answer
    A. Decade Boxes
    Explanation
    Decade boxes are devices used to substitute loads in an electrical system. They allow the user to manually adjust the resistance, capacitance, or inductance to simulate different loads. This is useful for testing and troubleshooting electrical circuits without the need for actual loads. Attenuators are used to reduce the amplitude of a signal, while capacitors store and release electrical energy. Therefore, the correct answer is decade boxes.
