In a series circuit with three resistors, the current flowing through each resistor is:
the same
different
cannot be determined
none of the above
In a parallel circuit with two resistors, the voltage across each resistor is:
the same
different
cannot be determined
none of the above
What is the total resistance of two 4-ohm resistors in parallel?
2 ohms
4 ohms
8 ohms
16 ohms
In a capacitor, the quantity that represents its ability to store charge is:
resistance
capacitance
inductance
impedance
A capacitor in a circuit with an AC voltage will:
block DC voltage and pass AC voltage
block AC voltage and pass DC voltage
pass both AC and DC voltage
block both AC and DC voltage
What is the main difference between series and parallel circuits?
In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in turn. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected across the same two points in the circuit, so the current is divided between the components.
What is the purpose of a capacitor in a circuit?
A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical charge. Its main purpose is to temporarily store electrical energy and then release it when needed. Capacitors are often used in circuits that require a temporary electrical charge, such as in filters, timing circuits, and power supplies.
Which of the following is the most common cause of electrical injuries?
Electrical shock
Burns
Fires
Explosions
What is the most important factor in preventing electrical hazards in the workplace?
Proper electrical equipment maintenance
Use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
Regular safety training for workers
All of the above
Which of the following types of electrical burns is caused by the heat generated by electrical current passing through the body?
Arc burns
Thermal contact burns
Electrical contact burns
Chemical burns
