# SECTION 0 — ORIENTATION / META -ANSWER✅✅✅✅# (These "#" cards are
optional headers; Quizlet will import them as cards if you leave them. Delete lines
starting with # if you don't want section title cards.)
What are the two EWRB written exams and how do they differ? -
ANSWER✅✅✅✅Theory (closed-book, follows Teaching Guidelines topics) and
Regulations (open-book, tests application of the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010
and cited standards).
Which documents define the Electrician Theory syllabus? -ANSWER✅✅✅✅EWRB
Teaching Guidelines for Electrician + NZQA unit standards (e.g., 21766). Use these to
scope topics.
What key standards and codes should I tag on my cards? -ANSWER✅✅✅✅AS/NZS
3000:2018, AS/NZS 3008, AS/NZS 3012, AS/NZS 3019, AS/NZS 3760, NZECP 34,
plus Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010.
# SECTION 1 — BASIC ELECTRICAL THEORY -ANSWER✅✅✅✅
Define Ohm's Law. -ANSWER✅✅✅✅V = I × R (voltage equals current times
resistance).
List four power formulas you must recall. -ANSWER✅✅✅✅P = V×I; P = I²R; P = V²/R;
for AC real power P = V×I×cosθ (single-phase).
What is RMS? -ANSWER✅✅✅✅The effective value of an AC waveform delivering the
same heating as DC; Vrms = Vpeak/√2 for a sine wave.
Define impedance Z. -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Total AC opposition to current, combining
resistance and reactance: Z = R ± jX.
Define inductive reactance. -ANSWER✅✅✅✅XL = 2πfL (ohms).
Define capacitive reactance. -ANSWER✅✅✅✅XC = 1/(2πfC) (ohms).
What is power factor (pf)? -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Cosθ — the ratio of real power P to
apparent power S; indicates how effectively current is converted to work.
