CORRECT ANSWERS
Question: can you define and test a ground? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔a ground is a point in the
circuit that is connected to the earth. you can use a multimeter-If the resistance is too high, it
may indicate that the ground connection is not providing adequate protection
Question: electrical safety rules - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔1.Always use a circuit tester or voltage
detector to check that a circuit is de-energized before working on it.
Question: electrical safety rule - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Never touch electrical wiring or
equipment with wet hands or while standing on a wet surface.
Question: electrical safety rule - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Do not operate electrical equipment
that is damaged, frayed, or otherwise in poor condition.
Question: electrical safety rule - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Use the correct fuse or circuit breaker
for the circuit you are working on.

Question: electrical safety rule - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Never remove or bypass the grounding
prong on a plug.
Question: Electrical Safety - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Do not use extension cords or multiple
outlet adapters that are not rated for the equipment you are using.
Question: electrical safety - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Do not overload circuits by plugging in too
many devices or using high-powered equipment.
Question: electrical safety - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Do not use electrical equipment in wet or
damp conditions unless it is specifically designed for that purpose.
Question: electrical safety - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Use properly rated and properly installed
surge protectors for sensitive electronic equipment.
Question: electrical safety - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions for using electrical equipment.
Question: purpose of lockout tag out - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔to prevent unexpected
energization or startup of machinery or equipment while it is being serviced or repaired.

Question: state the two types of electrical current - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔AC and DC
Question: how to use a circuit tester - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔To test a circuit, first locate the
circuit breaker or fuse that controls the circuit you want to test. Then, using the circuit tester,
touch the red probe to the live wire and the black probe to the neutral or ground wire.
Question: what is a power source - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The power source is the source of
electrical energy for the circuit. It can be a battery, a generator, or a power outlet. The power
source provides the electrical current that flows through the circuit.
Question: what is a conductor - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The conductor is a material that allows
electricity to flow through it, such as a wire. The conductor carries the electrical current from
the power source to the load.
Question: what is a load - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The load is the device or appliance that is
being powered by the circuit. It can be a light bulb, a motor, or any other device that uses
electricity. The load converts the electrical energy from the circuit into some other form of
energy, such as light or motion.
Question: what is a switch - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The switch is a device that is used to control
the flow of electrical current in the circuit. It can be used to turn the circuit on or off, allowing
the load to be powered or de-powered as needed.
