(a)  

A 120 Volt line is protected with a 15 Amp fuse. Can the fuse carry a 6 Ω load? Why?

• Yes. 120 V divided by 6Ω= is less than 15A, therefore it is protected by the fuse

• Yes. 120 V divided by 6Ω= is greater than 15A, therefore it is protected by the fuse

• No. 120 V divided by 6Ω = is less than 15A, therefore it is NOT protected by the fuse

• No. 120 V divided by 6Ω = is greater than 15A, therefore it is NOT protected by the fuse

A kiln draws 75A from a 480V line.  Calculate the amount of power used.

• 3,600W

• 36kW

• 36W

• 360kW

When a DMM is used to measure resistance it must be placed into the circuit _____ the load that is being tested.

• in series with

• in parallel with

• across

• both in series and parellel is correct

• because parallel means to connect across, both B and C are correct
