ATT Comp Test (FC) UPDATED Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
What is electrical Shock? - CORRECT ANSWER- A sensation and muscular spasm when
electric current passes through the body.
What is a GFCI? - CORRECT ANSWER- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (automatically
shut's off electrical flow in the event of an overload)
TS Transformers - CORRECT ANSWER- Open: T doesn't generate output V
Short: could be partial which would then change number of coils so Ep would change or Es
