ASVAB Electronics Information Practice Test

Inductance is a factor in which of the following?


A DC circuit

An AC circuit

Batteries connected in parallel

Batteries connected in serial

This is the circuit symbol for a _______________

Battery

Fuse

Transistor

Capacitor

Which of the following is not true about a line drop?


It's addressed by raising voltage and lowering current across the transmission line

It's addressed by raising current and lowering voltage across the transmission line

It's a decrease in voltage between two points on a line

It's caused due to resistance

In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple is used to:


Increase or decrease the temperature of a component in the circuit

Open or close a circuit at a designated temperature Link the temperature of one component in the circuit to that of another component in the circuit Provide an emergency 'off' switch for the circuit

In household electrical wiring, which color of insulation indicates the 'hot' wire?
Red

White

Black

Copper

Solutions

Inductance is a factor in which of the following?


A DC circuit

An AC circuit

Batteries connected in parallel

Batteries connected in serial

SOLUTION
Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.

This is the circuit symbol for a _______________

Battery

Fuse

Transistor

Capacitor

Which of the following is not true about a line drop?


It's addressed by raising voltage and lowering current across the transmission line

It's addressed by raising current and lowering voltage across the transmission line

It's a decrease in voltage between two points on a line

It's caused due to resistance

SOLUTION
A line drop is a decrease in voltage between two points on an electrical transmission line due to resistance in the line. A lower current and higher voltage across the line will help compensate for the line drop.

In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple is used to:


Increase or decrease the temperature of a component in the circuit

Open or close a circuit at a designated temperature Link the temperature of one component in the circuit to that of another component in the circuit Provide an emergency 'off' switch for the circuit

SOLUTION
A thermocouple is a thermal sensor that works like a switch to either open or close a part of the circuit at a designated temperature.

In household electrical wiring, which color of insulation indicates the 'hot' wire?
Red

White

Black

Copper

SOLUTION
In the NM cable used for wiring homes, each cable has three wires inside a sheath with each wire covered in a different color of insulation to indicate its type. The wire with the black insulation is the 'hot' wire, white is the neutral wire, and the ground wire is either covered in green insulation or left bare.
