Explanation

If an atom has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, it is considered stable. This is because the outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, is considered complete when it has 8 electrons. This configuration is known as the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration with 8 electrons in the valence shell. Therefore, having 8 electrons in the outermost shell indicates stability.

Submit
5. If you have a loss of residual magnetism in the exciter field poles, what should you do?

Explanation

If there is a loss of residual magnetism in the exciter field poles, the appropriate action to take is to field flash the generator.

25. An A/M32A-86D is operating and the alternating current (AC) voltmeter is reading 200 volts alternating current (VAC) on all three phrases.  What do you do?

Explanation

Switching S15 to the L-N position will change the voltmeter reading from 200 VAC to a more appropriate value. This indicates that the current setting of S15 is incorrect and needs to be adjusted. Adjusting VR1 or R61 may not necessarily solve the issue, so the best course of action is to switch S15 to the L-N position.

Submit
26. While operating an A/M32A-86D at governed speed, you place S13 in the build up position and the undervoltage light comes on.  What is a probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

The probable cause of the undervoltage light coming on when placing S13 in the build up position on an A/M32A-86D at governed speed is the memory time delay relay. This relay is responsible for controlling the timing of various functions in the system, and if it is malfunctioning or not working properly, it could cause the undervoltage light to come on.

Submit
27. In order to turn off a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), the current must drop below the

Explanation

To turn off a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), the current must drop below the holding current. The holding current is the minimum current required to maintain the SCR in the on state once it has been triggered. If the current falls below this threshold, the SCR will turn off and stop conducting. Therefore, the holding current is the correct answer as it accurately describes the condition required to turn off an SCR.

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

Explanation

In a series-parallel circuit, the total current (IT) is equal to the sum of the currents in the series and parallel branches. Given that I1=9 amps and I2=5 amps, we can calculate IT by adding these two currents together: IT = I1 + I2 = 9 amps + 5 amps = 14 amps. Since the value of I3 is not listed, we cannot determine its value directly. However, since IT = I1 + I2, and I1 = I3 in a series circuit, we can conclude that I3 must be equal to I1, which is 9 amps. Therefore, the correct answer is I3=4 amps (not listed) and IT=9 amps.

Submit
29. The portion of the voltage regulator that supplies exciter field voltage is transformer

Explanation

The correct answer is (T1) and rectifier (CR26). The exciter field voltage is supplied by a transformer (T1) and a rectifier (CR26). The transformer steps up or steps down the incoming voltage to the desired level, and the rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) to supply the exciter field. This combination of transformer and rectifier ensures that the exciter field receives the correct voltage for proper operation.

Submit
30. How is the zener diode connected in a circuit to protect the load?

Explanation

The zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in order to protect it. When the voltage across the load exceeds a certain threshold, the zener diode starts conducting and provides a low-resistance path for the excess current to flow through. This prevents the voltage from rising further and protects the load from damage. By being connected in parallel, the zener diode does not affect the normal operation of the circuit but only comes into action when necessary.

The injector pump is responsible for pressurizing the fuel and injecting it into the cylinders at the correct timing and in the right amount. This ensures efficient combustion and proper engine performance. The transfer pump is responsible for transferring fuel from the fuel tank to the injector pump. Injector nozzles are responsible for atomizing the fuel and injecting it into the combustion chamber. The throttle actuator controls the airflow into the engine, but it is not directly related to the fuel distribution and delivery.

Submit
32. In an inductive circuit, what is meant by current lags voltage by 90 degrees?

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 (zero), and vice versa. This is because in an inductive circuit, the voltage leads the current by 90 degrees. When the voltage is at its maximum value, the current is at its minimum value, and when the voltage is at its minimum value, the current is at its maximum value. This phase difference between current and voltage is a characteristic of inductive circuits.

Submit
33. What condition is sensed by the direct current (DC) card on the B809A generator set?

Explanation

The direct current (DC) card on the B809A generator set senses the condition of overtemperature.

If the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the DC card will trigger an alarm or shut down the generator set to prevent damage or unsafe operation.

Submit
34. What is the basic principle of operation of transformers?

Explanation

The basic principle of operation of transformers is mutual induction. Mutual induction refers to the process where a changing current in one coil induces a voltage in a nearby coil. In a transformer, this principle is utilized to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. The primary coil, connected to an alternating current source, produces a changing magnetic field which induces a voltage in the secondary coil. This voltage can be stepped up or stepped down depending on the number of turns in each coil, allowing for efficient power transmission.

Submit
35. In a circuit using a bridge rectifier, how many diodes are forward biased during the first cycle of alternating cuurent (AC)?

Explanation

In a circuit using a bridge rectifier, there are two diodes that are forward biased during the first cycle of alternating current (AC). The bridge rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration. During the positive half-cycle of AC, two diodes conduct and allow the current to flow through them, while the other two diodes are reverse biased and do not conduct. This allows the AC current to be converted into a pulsating DC current. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

Submit
40. If the ignition control unit fails to operate on an A/M32A-60A during operation, what do you check?

Explanation

If the ignition control unit fails to operate on an A/M32A-60A during operation, one would check the oil pressure switch S11. This switch is responsible for monitoring the oil pressure in the system. If the oil pressure is too low or the switch is faulty, it can cause the ignition control unit to fail. Therefore, checking the oil pressure switch S11 is necessary to identify and resolve the issue with the ignition control unit.

Submit
41. What is the resistance in a circuit if the power rating is 40 watts and total current is 2 amps?

Explanation

The resistance in a circuit can be calculated using the formula P = I^2 * R, where P is the power rating, I is the total current, and R is the resistance. Rearranging the formula, we get R = P / I^2. Plugging in the given values, we have R = 40 / 2^2 = 40 / 4 = 10 ohms. Therefore, the correct answer is 10 ohms.

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

Explanation

The secondary winding of a transformer acts as a conductor and provides the path into which voltage is induced. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, which can be used to power electrical devices or transmit power over long distances. The secondary winding is typically connected to the load or the circuit that requires the induced voltage.

Submit
43. The area of a semiconductor where P-type material is joined to N-type material is known as

Explanation

The area where P-type material is joined to N-type material in a semiconductor is known as the depletion region. This region is created due to the diffusion of minority carriers across the junction, resulting in the formation of a region devoid of free charge carriers. The depletion region acts as a barrier for the flow of current, preventing the majority carriers from crossing the junction. It plays a crucial role in the operation of various semiconductor devices, such as diodes and transistors.

Submit
44. Atoms having more than four electrons, but less than eight are known as

Explanation

Atoms having more than four electrons, but less than eight are known as insulators. This is because insulators have a completely filled valence shell, which makes it difficult for them to gain or lose electrons and participate in electrical conductivity. In contrast, conductors have fewer than four electrons in their valence shell, allowing them to easily move and conduct electricity. Stable atoms refer to atoms that have a full valence shell and are not likely to react with other atoms. Semiconductors have properties between those of insulators and conductors, but the given range does not match their characteristics.

Submit
45. The electrostatic fields around a positive ion move

Explanation

The correct answer is "outward" because positive ions have a deficiency of electrons, causing them to have a positive charge. In electrostatic fields, positive charges repel each other, so the electrostatic field lines around a positive ion will move away from each other, or outward. This movement is a result of the repulsion between the positive charges, creating an outward flow of the electrostatic field lines.

Submit
46. The force required to move free electrons through a conductor is known as

Explanation

Voltage is the correct answer because it refers to the force or electrical potential difference that drives the movement of free electrons through a conductor. It is the measure of the energy per unit charge that is required to move the electrons. Current, on the other hand, refers to the flow of charge itself, while negative charge and electrostatic force are not specifically related to the force required to move electrons through a conductor.

Submit
47. How is a zener diode connected in a circuit to regulate voltage?

Explanation

A zener diode is connected in parallel to the load in order 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 allowing current to flow through itself when the voltage across the load exceeds the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. This effectively limits the voltage across the load, preventing it from exceeding the desired value.

Submit
48. in a series-parallel circuit, find RT if series resistor R1= 7 ohms, and parallel resistors R2 and R3= 8 ohms.

Explanation

In a series-parallel circuit, the total resistance (RT) can be calculated by adding the resistances of the series resistors and the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the parallel resistors. In this case, the series resistor R1 has a resistance of 7 ohms. The parallel resistors R2 and R3 have a combined resistance of 8 ohms. Therefore, the total resistance is 7 ohms + 8 ohms = 15 ohms.

Submit
61. The most positive point in a PNP bipolar transistor is the

Explanation

The emitter is the most positive point in a PNP bipolar transistor. This is because the emitter is connected to the positive supply voltage, while the collector is connected to the negative supply voltage. The base is the control terminal that regulates the flow of current between the emitter and collector. Therefore, the emitter is considered the most positive point in the transistor circuit.

Submit
62. The circuit in the bipolar transistor that carries 5 percent of the current flow is the

Explanation

The control circuit in a bipolar transistor is responsible for regulating the amount of current flowing through the transistor. It consists of the base-emitter junction and the base current. By adjusting the base current, the control circuit determines the amount of current that can flow from the collector to the emitter. In this case, since the control circuit carries only 5 percent of the total current flow, it indicates that it is responsible for controlling a small portion of the current in the transistor.

Submit
63. What happens if the emitter-base (E-B) current is increased in a transistor amplifier?

Explanation

When the emitter-base (E-B) current is increased in a transistor amplifier, it causes an increase in the current through the emitter-collector (E-C) circuit. This is because the emitter-base junction acts as a current amplifier, and an increase in the E-B current results in a proportional increase in the E-C current. Therefore, the correct answer is that current increases through the E-C circuit.

Submit
65. In a series-parallel circuit, total voltage is 12 volts, the value of E1 in the series portion of the circuit is unknown.  There are two parallel branches (E2=3volts) and the value of E3 in the second parallel branch is unknown.  Using Ohm's law, find the value of E1 and E3.

Explanation

In a series-parallel circuit, the total voltage is divided among the different components. In this case, the total voltage is 12 volts. Since E2 is given as 3 volts, the remaining voltage (12 - 3 = 9 volts) must be divided between E1 and E3. Since E1 is in the series portion of the circuit, it will receive the same voltage as the total voltage, which is 9 volts. Therefore, E1 = 9 volts. The remaining voltage of 9 volts is then divided between E2 and E3, and since E2 is given as 3 volts, E3 must be 3 volts. Therefore, E3 = 3 volts.

Submit
66. A junction diode has how many PN junction(s)?

Explanation

A junction diode has only one PN junction. A PN junction is formed by the combination of a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor.

70. A metal oxide varistor (MOV) is made up of how many semiconductors

Explanation

An MOV is made up of two semiconductors. A metal oxide varistor is a type of voltage-dependent resistor that is commonly used to protect electrical circuits from excessive voltage. It is made up of a ceramic material, typically zinc oxide, which acts as a semiconductor. The varistor has two terminals, and when a voltage is applied across it, the resistance decreases significantly, allowing current to flow through. This characteristic makes it effective in diverting excess voltage away from sensitive components in order to protect them from damage.

Submit
71. The silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) has how many layers?

Explanation

An SCR, or silicon-controlled rectifier, is a four-layer semiconductor device that acts as a switch for high-power electrical circuits. It consists of three P-N junctions and four layers of alternating P-type and N-type materials. The four layers are the anode layer, the P1 layer, the N layer, and the P2 layer. The presence of these layers allows the SCR to control the flow of current in a circuit, making it an essential component in various applications such as power supplies and motor control.

72. Refer to foldout 1.  During an operational check of the A/M32A-86D generator set, the shutdown solenoid energizes immediately after the engine run indicator illuminates.  What is a probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

The probable cause of the shutdown solenoid energizing immediately after the engine run indicator illuminates is that S49 is shorted.

Submit
73. Refer to foldout 1.  An A/M32A-86D generator set is sent to the shop on a Red X for will not apply power to the aircraft.  During the operational check, you place S5 in the closed position and the contactor light illuminates.  When you release the switch, the contactor opens.  What is probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

The probable cause of the trouble is that R46 is open.

Submit
74. Refer to foldout 5.  During your operational check of the A/M32A-60A generator set, the unit runs up to 80 percent and the ready to load light comes on.  What do you check?

Explanation

In order to determine the cause of the ready to load light coming on during the operational check of the A/M32A-60A generator set, you need to check if the 95 percent centrifugal switch (S14) is closed. This switch is responsible for regulating the generator's output and if it is open, it could be causing the issue. Therefore, checking the status of the centrifugal switch is necessary to troubleshoot the problem.

Submit
75. What statement best describes a capacitive circuit?

Explanation

A capacitive circuit is characterized by the fact that the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees. This means that the current reaches its peak value before the voltage does in a capacitive circuit. This behavior is due to the nature of a capacitor, which stores and releases electrical energy in response to changes in voltage. As the voltage across the capacitor increases, the current flows into the capacitor, causing it to charge. Conversely, as the voltage decreases, the capacitor discharges, and the current flows out of the capacitor. This phase shift of 90 degrees between current and voltage is a fundamental characteristic of capacitive circuits.

Submit
76. Refer to foldout 5.  The A/M32A-60A generator set starts, but shuts down as soon as S7 is released.  What is the probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

The probable cause of the generator shutting down when S7 is released is that K18 is de-energizing. This suggests that K18 is a key component or switch that is responsible for maintaining the generator's operation. When it is de-energized, it disrupts the flow of power or signal necessary for the generator to continue running, causing it to shut down.

Submit
77. What effect does a defective K4 relay have on the A/M32A-86D generator output circuit?

Explanation

A defective K4 relay in the A/M32A-86D generator output circuit causes K607 to energize and K1 to de-energize.

Submit
78. Refer to foldout 6.  After you connect an A/M32A-60A to the A/M24T-8 load bank, you notice one of the blower motors isn't working on the load bank.  What is the probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

The probable cause of the blower motor not working on the load bank is CR2.

Submit
79. Refer to foldouts 6 and 7.  If CB2 opens on an A/M24T-8 load bank, what effect does it have on load bank operation?

Explanation

When CB2 opens on an A/M24T-8 load bank, it will cause the alternating current (AC) load selection switches (S15 through S20) to stop working. This means that the load bank will not be able to select AC loads using these switches.

Submit
80. Refer to foldout 1. After performing an operational check of the A/M32A-86D generator set, you proceed to shut the unit down.  After the generator stops, you notice the engine on light continues to glow.  What is a probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

When S48 is closed, it means that the switch is still in the "on" position even though the generator has been shut down. This could be the probable cause of the engine on light continuing to glow. Closing the switch would keep the circuit connected and the light illuminated, indicating that the engine is still running even though it has been shut down.

Submit
81. Refer to foldout 2.  During high voltage operation of the B809A generator set, what action occurs to prevent direct current (DC) contactors from closing?

Explanation

During high voltage operation of the B809A generator set, the high sense relay (HSR) is responsible for preventing direct current (DC) contactors from closing. When the HSR de-energizes, it interrupts the circuit and prevents the contactors from closing. This action is taken to ensure the safety of the system and prevent any potential damage or accidents that could occur if the contactors were allowed to close during high voltage operation.

Submit
82. While you are operating the A/M32A-60A generator set, you turn the bleed air switch to ON and the engine speed drops to 98 percent.  What is happening on the governor to bring up the engine speed to 100 percent?

Explanation

When the bleed air switch is turned on, it causes a drop in engine speed to 98 percent. In this scenario, the spring tension in the governor is greater than the centrifugal force, causing the flyweights to move inward. As a result, the bypass port is closed, which helps to increase the engine speed back to 100 percent.

Submit
83. Refer to foldout 5.  During operation of the A/M32A-60A, the engine rotates, but there is no combustion.  What is the probable cause of this trouble?

Explanation

The probable cause of the engine rotating but no combustion during operation of the A/M32A-60A is a faulty ignition system. This could be due to issues such as a malfunctioning spark plug, ignition coil, or ignition control module. Without a properly functioning ignition system, the fuel-air mixture cannot be ignited, resulting in no combustion.
