SECTION 1: ELECTRICAL THEORY, CIRCUITS, AND OHM'S LAW
Questions 1-15 cover Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, atomic theory, and EMF sources with calculation-based
scenarios.
Q1. An elevator control circuit has a resistance of 10 ohms. If 5 amps of current flows through the circuit,
what is the applied voltage according to Ohm's Law?
A. 50 V [CORRECT]
B. 15 V
C. 2 V
D. 0.5 V
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ohm's Law states E = I x R, where E is voltage in volts, I is current in amperes, and R is resistance in ohms.
Substituting: E = 5 A x 10 ohms = 50 V. Choice B (15 V) incorrectly adds values; choice C (2 V) divides resistance by
current; choice D (0.5 V) divides current by resistance, reversing the formula. NEIEP 300 requires apprentices to correctly
rearrange the Ohm's Law triangle (E over I and R side by side).
Q2. A door operator circuit draws 6 amps of current when connected to a 120 V supply. What is the total
resistance of the circuit?
A. 20 ohms [CORRECT]
B. 720 ohms
C. 0.05 ohms
D. 126 ohms
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rearranging Ohm's Law for resistance: R = E / I = 120 V / 6 A = 20 ohms. Choice B (720 ohms) incorrectly
multiplies E x I, which is the power formula; choice C (0.05 ohms) inverts the division (I/E); choice D (126 ohms) adds rather
than divides. NEIEP 300 stresses that resistance is the opposition to current flow, measured in ohms, and is calculated by E/I
when voltage and current are known.
Q3. An elevator car lighting circuit is rated at 240 V and draws 4 A. What is the resistance of the lighting
circuit?
A. 60 ohms [CORRECT]
B. 960 ohms
C. 0.0167 ohms
D. 244 ohms
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using R = E / I = 240 V / 4 A = 60 ohms. Choice B (960 ohms) computes power (E x I) instead of resistance;
choice C (0.0167 ohms) inverts the formula (I/E); choice D (244 ohms) incorrectly adds voltage and current. NEIEP 300
teaches that resistance values identify circuit loading and help in troubleshooting excessive current draw on lighting circuits.

Q4. An elevator heater circuit operates at 120 V and draws 5 A. Using the power formula P = E x I, what is
the power consumed by the heater?
A. 600 W [CORRECT]
B. 24 W
C. 125 W
D. 60 W
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Power P = E x I = 120 V x 5 A = 600 W (watts). Choice B (24 W) incorrectly divides voltage by current; choice C
(125 W) divides voltage by current then multiplies by some factor; choice D (60 W) divides E/I incorrectly. NEIEP 300 also
accepts P = I-squared x R and P = E-squared / R as equivalent forms, but P = E x I is the most direct when both values are
known.
Q5. A series circuit contains three resistors: R1 = 10 ohms, R2 = 20 ohms, and R3 = 30 ohms. What is the
total resistance of the circuit?
A. 60 ohms [CORRECT]
B. 6 ohms
C. 600 ohms
D. 20 ohms
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a series circuit, total resistance equals the sum of individual resistances: R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 = 10 + 20 +
30 = 60 ohms. Choice B (6 ohms) incorrectly uses the parallel formula; choice C (600 ohms) multiplies the values; choice D
(20 ohms) averages them. NEIEP 300 emphasizes that series circuits have a single current path, so resistances simply add -
voltage divides across each component.
Q6. Two resistors, R1 = 10 ohms and R2 = 20 ohms, are connected in parallel across a 120 V source. What is
the total resistance of this parallel combination?
A. 6.67 ohms [CORRECT]
B. 30 ohms
C. 200 ohms
D. 0.15 ohms
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For a parallel circuit: 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/10 + 1/20 = 2/20 + 1/20 = 3/20, so R_total = 20/3 = 6.67
ohms. Choice B (30 ohms) uses the series formula; choice C (200 ohms) multiplies R1 x R2; choice D (0.15 ohms) inverts the
formula. NEIEP 300 stresses that in parallel circuits, voltage is the same across all branches and total resistance is always
LESS than the smallest branch resistance.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For a parallel circuit: 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/10 + 1/20 = 2/20 + 1/20 = 3/20, so R_total = 20/3 = 6.67
