What is the primary purpose of a distribution transformer in an
electrical distribution system?
A. To increase transmission voltage for long-distance delivery
B. To interrupt all current during normal operation
C. To convert alternating current into direct current
D. To reduce distribution voltage to a level suitable for customers
(Correct Answer)
Rationale: A distribution transformer steps medium-voltage
distribution electricity down to utilization voltages required by
residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
Which electrical quantity is measured in amperes?
A. Electric current (Correct Answer)
B. Resistance
C. Voltage
D. Power
,Rationale: The ampere is the SI unit used to measure electric current,
representing the rate at which electric charge flows through a
conductor.
What is the main function of a fuse in an electrical circuit?
A. Increase system voltage
B. Regulate frequency
C. Open the circuit when excessive current flows (Correct Answer)
D. Improve conductor insulation
Rationale: A fuse contains an element designed to melt when current
exceeds its rating for a sufficient period, interrupting the circuit and
helping protect conductors and equipment.
Which instrument is commonly used to measure electrical
resistance?
A. Ammeter
B. Ohmmeter (Correct Answer)
C. Frequency meter
D. Wattmeter
Rationale: An ohmmeter measures resistance in ohms. Many
modern digital multimeters include an ohmmeter function along
with voltage and current measurement capabilities.
,According to Ohm's law, voltage is equal to:
A. Current multiplied by resistance (Correct Answer)
B. Current divided by resistance
C. Resistance divided by current
D. Power multiplied by resistance
Rationale: Ohm's law is expressed as V = I × R, where V is voltage, I
is current, and R is resistance.
What is the principal purpose of a circuit breaker?
A. Store electrical energy
B. Increase conductor resistance
C. Interrupt current when a fault or abnormal condition occurs
(Correct Answer)
D. Convert AC to DC
Rationale: Circuit breakers are protective devices designed to
interrupt current during conditions such as short circuits or
overloads. Many breakers can also be manually operated for
switching and isolation purposes.
Which material is generally considered a good electrical conductor?
A. Rubber
B. Glass
C. Copper (Correct Answer)
, D. Porcelain
Rationale: Copper has relatively low electrical resistance and
excellent conductivity, making it widely used for electrical
conductors, grounding conductors, busbars, and equipment
connections.
What is the purpose of electrical insulation around a conductor?
A. Increase current flow
B. Prevent unintended current paths and contact with energized parts
(Correct Answer)
C. Increase the conductor's voltage
D. Eliminate electrical resistance
Rationale: Insulation electrically separates conductors from one
another and from grounded or accessible surfaces, reducing the
likelihood of faults, shock, and unintended current flow.
What does AC stand for in electrical terminology?
A. Automatic Control
B. Ampere Capacity
C. Auxiliary Current
D. Alternating Current (Correct Answer)
