In a series circuit, the total resistance is:

  1. Equal to the sum of individual resistances

  2. Equal to the largest individual resistance

  3. Equal to the smallest individual resistance

  4. Dependent on the voltage and current

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a series circuit, the current flows through each resistor sequentially, so the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.

According to Ohm's Law, the current through a conductor is:

  1. Directly proportional to the voltage across it

  2. Inversely proportional to the voltage across it

  3. Independent of the voltage across it

  4. Dependent on the material of the conductor

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it, with the proportionality constant being the resistance of the conductor.

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that:

  1. The algebraic sum of currents entering a junction is zero

  2. The algebraic sum of currents leaving a junction is zero

  3. The algebraic sum of currents in a loop is zero

  4. The algebraic sum of voltages in a loop is zero

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

KCL states that the total current entering a junction must equal the total current leaving the junction, ensuring charge conservation.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that:

  1. The algebraic sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero

  2. The algebraic sum of currents around a closed loop is zero

  3. The algebraic sum of resistances around a closed loop is zero

  4. The algebraic sum of power around a closed loop is zero

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

KVL states that the sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit must be zero, ensuring energy conservation.

In an AC circuit, the relationship between voltage and current is:

  1. Linear and proportional

  2. Nonlinear and sinusoidal

  3. Linear and sinusoidal

  4. Nonlinear and proportional

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In an AC circuit, the voltage and current vary sinusoidally with time, resulting in a nonlinear relationship between them.

The inductive reactance of a coil is:

  1. Directly proportional to frequency

  2. Inversely proportional to frequency

  3. Independent of frequency

  4. Dependent on the number of turns in the coil

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inductive reactance increases with increasing frequency, as the coil opposes the change in current more strongly at higher frequencies.

The capacitive reactance of a capacitor is:

  1. Directly proportional to frequency

  2. Inversely proportional to frequency

  3. Independent of frequency

  4. Dependent on the capacitance value

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Capacitive reactance decreases with increasing frequency, as the capacitor opposes the change in voltage more strongly at higher frequencies.

A transformer is used to:

  1. Increase or decrease voltage

  2. Increase or decrease current

  3. Change the phase angle of a signal

  4. Isolate circuits from each other

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Transformers are primarily used to increase or decrease the voltage of an AC signal while maintaining power transfer.

The turns ratio of a transformer is defined as:

  1. The ratio of primary voltage to secondary voltage

  2. The ratio of primary current to secondary current

  3. The ratio of primary turns to secondary turns

  4. The ratio of primary power to secondary power

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Turns ratio is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding of a transformer.

The efficiency of a transformer is:

  1. The ratio of output power to input power

  2. The ratio of input power to output power

  3. The ratio of primary voltage to secondary voltage

  4. The ratio of primary current to secondary current

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Transformer efficiency is the ratio of the output power to the input power, expressed as a percentage.

In a balanced three-phase system, the phase difference between each phase is:

  1. 120 degrees

  2. 90 degrees

  3. 60 degrees

  4. 45 degrees

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a balanced three-phase system, the phase difference between each phase is 120 degrees, ensuring a constant power flow.

The power factor of a circuit is:

  1. The ratio of real power to apparent power

  2. The ratio of apparent power to real power

  3. The ratio of reactive power to apparent power

  4. The ratio of apparent power to reactive power

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Power factor is the ratio of real power (the power consumed by the load) to apparent power (the product of voltage and current).

A circuit breaker is used to:

  1. Protect the circuit from overcurrent

  2. Protect the circuit from overvoltage

  3. Protect the circuit from short circuits

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Circuit breakers are designed to protect circuits from overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits, ensuring safe operation.

A fuse is used to:

  1. Protect the circuit from overcurrent

  2. Protect the circuit from overvoltage

  3. Protect the circuit from short circuits

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fuses are primarily used to protect circuits from overcurrent by melting and breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a predetermined safe level.

The primary function of a capacitor in an AC circuit is to:

  1. Store electrical energy

  2. Provide a path for current flow

  3. Block DC current

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Capacitors store electrical energy in an AC circuit, releasing it during periods of low voltage, and helping to maintain a steady voltage across the circuit.
