What is the basic unit of electric current?

a)

ohm

b)

watt

c)

volt

d)

ampere

2.

State Ohm's Law and its formula.

a)

V = R / I

b)

I = V + R

c)

R = V - I

d)

V = I * R

3.

How do you calculate the total resistance in a series circuit?

a)

R_total = R1 * R2 * R3 * ... * Rn

b)

R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... + Rn

c)

R_total = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn)

d)

R_total = R1 - R2 - R3 - ... - Rn

4.

What is the function of a capacitor in a circuit?

a)

To measure current flow in a circuit.

b)

The function of a capacitor in a circuit is to store and release electrical energy.

c)

To convert AC to DC voltage.

d)

To amplify electrical signals in a circuit.

5.

Explain the difference between series and parallel circuits.

a)

In series circuits, the voltage is divided among components, while in parallel circuits, the voltage remains the same across all components.

b)

Parallel circuits are always more efficient than series circuits regardless of the components used.

c)

Series circuits have multiple paths for current, while parallel circuits have a single path.

d)

Series circuits have a single path for current, while parallel circuits have multiple paths.

6.

What is the role of a transistor in electronic circuits?

a)

To increase the resistance in a circuit.

b)

The role of a transistor in electronic circuits is to act as a switch or amplifier.

c)

To convert AC to DC voltage.

d)

To store electrical energy in a circuit.

7.

How do you determine the equivalent capacitance in a parallel circuit?

a)

C_eq = 1/(1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + ... + 1/Cn)

b)

C_eq = C1 - C2 - C3 - ... - Cn

c)

C_eq = C1 + C2 + C3 + ... + Cn

d)

C_eq = C1 * C2 * C3 * ... * Cn

8.

What is the purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

a)

To increase the overall voltage in a circuit.

b)

To limit current and control voltage in an electrical circuit.

c)

To store electrical energy for later use.

d)

To create a short circuit for testing purposes.

9.

Describe the symbol for a transistor in engineering drawings.

a)

The symbol for a transistor is a triangle with four terminals: gate, source, drain, and body.

b)

A transistor is represented by a zigzag line with two terminals: input and output.

c)

A transistor symbol consists of a square with two terminals: source and drain.

d)

The symbol for a transistor includes a circle with three terminals: emitter, base, and collector, with an arrow indicating the type (NPN or PNP).

10.

What is the significance of the power rating of a resistor?

a)

The power rating is used to measure the resistance value of the resistor.

b)

The power rating indicates the color code of the resistor.

c)

The power rating determines the physical size of the resistor.

d)

The power rating of a resistor signifies the maximum power it can handle safely.
