What is the total resistance of four 24 Ohms resistors arranged as shown below?
- A.
96 Ohms
- B.
16 Ohms
- C.
6 Ohms
- D.
24 Ohms
Correct Answer
C. 6 OhmsExplanation
The total resistance of resistors in a parallel circuit is calculated using the formula 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... In this case, since all four resistors have the same resistance of 24 Ohms, the formula becomes 1/Rtotal = 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24. Simplifying this equation gives us 1/Rtotal = 4/24, which can be further simplified to 1/Rtotal = 1/6. Taking the reciprocal of both sides gives us Rtotal = 6 Ohms. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 Ohms.Rate this question:

What is the frequency of an alternating current if the time period is 0.75 us (micro seconds)?
- A.
1.3 kHz
- B.
1.3 MHz
- C.
75 Hz
- D.
75 kHz
Correct Answer
B. 1.3 MHzExplanation
The frequency of an alternating current is determined by the number of cycles it completes in one second. The formula to calculate frequency is frequency = 1 / time period. In this case, the time period is given as 0.75 microseconds (us). To convert this to seconds, we divide by 1,000,000 (1 million). So, the time period in seconds is 0.75 us / 1,000,000 = 0.00000075 s. Now, we can calculate the frequency by taking the reciprocal of the time period: frequency = 1 / 0.00000075 = 1,333,333.33 Hz. To express this in megahertz (MHz), we divide by 1,000,000: 1,333,333.33 Hz / 1,000,000 = 1.33333333 MHz, which can be rounded to 1.3 MHz.Rate this question:

- C.
698 mm/sec
- D.
6.98 um (micro meter)
Correct Answer
B. 698 mmExplanation
The wavelength of a wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. In this question, the frequency is given as 430 MHz, which can be converted to 430 x 10^6 Hz. The speed of light is given as 3 x 10^8 m/s. By substituting these values into the formula, we get wavelength = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (430 x 10^6 Hz) = 0.698 m = 698 mm. Therefore, the correct answer is 698 mm.Rate this question:

Two resistors with a 25 Ohms and 20 Ohms connected in series with a 15 Ohms resistor connected in parallel. What is the total resistance of the three resistors and the voltage if a 5A current flows through the circuit?
- A.
26.11 Ohms and 130.56 V
- B.
26.11 Ohms and 5.22 V
- C.
11.25 Ohms and 56.25 V
- D.
60 Ohms and 300 V
Correct Answer
C. 11.25 Ohms and 56.25 VExplanation
The total resistance of the circuit can be calculated by adding the resistances of the resistors in series and the resistance of the resistor in parallel. In this case, the resistors with 25 Ohms and 20 Ohms are in series, so their resistances can be added together: 25 Ohms + 20 Ohms = 45 Ohms. The resistor with 15 Ohms is connected in parallel, so its resistance can be calculated using the formula: 1/R_parallel = 1/15 + 1/45 = 4/45. Taking the reciprocal of this value gives the resistance of the parallel combination: R_parallel = 45/4 = 11.25 Ohms. Therefore, the total resistance of the three resistors is 11.25 Ohms.
To calculate the voltage, we can use Ohm's law: V = I * R, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. Plugging in the values, we have V = 5A * 11.25 Ohms = 56.25 V. Therefore, the total resistance of the three resistors is 11.25 Ohms and the voltage is 56.25 V.Rate this question:

An increase in power from 2 Watts to 5 Watts is equal to a gain of:
- A.
2.5 dB
- B.
3 dB
- C.
4 dB
- D.
10 dB
Correct Answer
C. 4 dBExplanation
An increase in power from 2 Watts to 5 Watts represents a multiplication factor of 2.5 (5/2). To convert this multiplication factor to decibels (dB), we use the formula: gain in dB = 10 * log10(multiplication factor). Plugging in the value, we get gain in dB = 10 * log10(2.5) ≈ 4 dB. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 dB.Rate this question:

What is the number of identical lamps if each draws a current (I) of 500 mA, from a 15A supply:
- A.
15
- B.
34
- C.
30
- D.
7500
Correct Answer
C. 30Explanation
If each lamp draws a current of 500 mA and the supply is 15A, we can calculate the number of identical lamps by dividing the supply current by the current drawn by each lamp. In this case, 15A divided by 0.5A (500 mA) equals 30 lamps. Therefore, the correct answer is 30.Rate this question:

Four 10,000 ohm resistors are connected in series across a 90 Volt supply. The voltage drop across one of the resistors is:
- A.
22.5 Volt
- B.
111.1 Volt
- C.
90 Volt
- D.
5.63 Volt
Correct Answer
A. 22.5 VoltExplanation
When resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. In this case, the total resistance is 4 times the resistance of one resistor, which is 10,000 ohms. According to Ohm's law, the voltage drop across a resistor is equal to the current flowing through it multiplied by its resistance. Since the current is the same in a series circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor is proportional to its resistance. Therefore, the voltage drop across one of the resistors is 1/4 of the total voltage, which is 22.5 volts.Rate this question:

2 resistors are connected in parallel and are connected across a 240 volt battery. If each resistor is 2500 ohms, the total battery current is:
- A.
19 ampere
- B.
19 milliampere
- C.
192 ampere
- D.
192 miliampere
Correct Answer
D. 192 miliampereExplanation
When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance is given by the formula: 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2. In this case, R1 = R2 = 2500 ohms, so 1/R_total = 1/2500 + 1/2500 = 2/2500. Taking the reciprocal of both sides, R_total = 2500/2 = 1250 ohms.
According to Ohm's law, V = I * R, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. Rearranging the formula, I = V/R. In this case, V = 240 volts and R = 1250 ohms, so I = 240/1250 = 0.192 amperes. Converting to milliamperes, the total battery current is 192 milliamperes.Rate this question:
