B. Advantage of parallel circuits
C. Disadvantage of parallel circuit
D. Disadvantage of parallel circuit
8. Why does a resistor produce heat?

A. Electrons therefore lose kinetic energy and slows down the
transferred energy causes to heat up
B. Electrons moving through conductor interact with the particles of
which insulator made.
C. When collide it transfer kinetic energy
D. Electrons meet resistance
9. How do you find the combined resistance in a series and parallel circuit?
A. Rtotal = R2 = R1 - R3
B. Rtotal = R1 + R2 - R3

A. Begin as far away as possible from the circuit location
B. Replace series or parallel resistors with their equivalent resistor
C. Moving right until a single equivalent resistor represents the entire
network
D. Moving left until a single equivalent circuit represents the entire
resistor network.
11. What does a fuse consist of?

A. Consist of a current conducting strip of wire of easily fusible metal
B. Consist of a screw plug metal
C. Consist of a wire or alloy metal
D. Consist of alloy of tin and iron
12. It is a large switch that is opened automatically by an electromagnet when

the current is large.
A. Earth wire
B. Circuit breaker
C. Fuse
D. Modem
13. It has two layers of insulating material that covers the live wires.
A. Circuit breaker
B. Residual current device
C. Earthing
D. Double insulation
14. How can be safe around insulation?

A. Wear appropriate clothing
B. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
C. Maintain adequate ventilation
D. Minimize dust generation
15. Why are fuses and circuit breakers used in circuits?
A. Fuses and circuit breakers open to the circuit when a large
amount of current flows through the circuit.
B. Fuses and circuit breakers increase the efficiency of the
appliances within the circuit.
C. Fuses and circuit breakers insulate the connection in the circuit.
D. Fuses and circuit breakers can help out the electrical
consumption.
16. Your fuse at home has blown up many times. Which of the following will
you do to solve this problem and prevent it from happening again?
A. Connect appliances in series instead of parallel.
B. To replace the fuse
C. Plug two or three appliances in one outlet.
D. Connect an additional fuse to your circuit.
17. How to compute electric consumption at your home?

A. Subtract your current reading from last month reading
B. Divide that with current electricity prices per kWh
C. Multiply that with current electricity prices per kWh
D. Add that with current electricity prices per kWh.
18. A fuse is usually a thin piece of wire that will melt and break the circuit if
there are too large current flows through it. The thicker the wire, the more
current is needed to melt it and higher the rating of the fuse. Which of these
inference gives the importance of the fuse?
A. The purpose of a fuse is to protect the wiring and the equipment
B. To protect the use of casing of the equipment live
C. To protect the circuit conductors
D. To protect the ground fault circuit
19. A circuit breaker is an electronic circuit that will switch off the outlet if it
is too great. Such a circuit is designed to operate much more quickly than
a fuse and so the damage is less because the current is switched off in a
much shorter of time. Which of these explains the protection of the live
equipment?
A. Circuit breakers are often used to protect the user if the casing of
the equipment becomes live
B. The ground fault circuit interrupter is designed
C. Double insulation protect the user
D. Designed to shot off electric power
20. Which of the following you should do if someone is shocked electrically?

A. Check for breathing and heartbeat.
B. Turn off the power source
C. Remove the person from the power source
D. Use the fire extinguisher

21. Analyse which of the following method to return safely to ground without
danger to anyone in the event of short circuit.
A. Earthing or Grounding is a method of giving electricity the most
effective way to return to the service panel
B. Adding more appliances decrease resistance
C. To protect the wiring in itself
D. To switch off electrical power
22. Which of the following statements is NOT true about safety devices at
home?
A. Safety devices are used to prevent electric chock
B. Safety devices cut the flow of current in case of overloading
C. Safety devices are used to provide alternative route for current
in the case of grounded circuit
D. Safety devices supply unsteady amount of voltage to protect
appliances against overloading
23. Why is earthing used at home?

A. To prevent the short circuit
B. To cut the circuit in case of the overloading
C. To reduce the resistance of the appliances
D. To provide alternative route of upsurge current in case of
grounded circuit
24. At home, you noticed that a portion of an electrical wire is worn out,
exposing its metallic part. What do you think might happen if you will just
ignore this problem?
A. Short circuit may happen
B. Circuit is of better condition
C. Overloading may not happen
D. Nothing happens when someone touches the wire.
25. When do you consider repairing electrical wirings at home?

A. When a newly bought extension cord is used
B. When electrical appliances are in good condition
C. When fuses blow out or circuit breakers trip off frequently
D. When lights do not flicker even if their appliances are turned on
