Both resistance and inductance |
Question 5 Explanation:
Both resistance and inductance represent any carrying conductor.
Question 6 |
When non-linear loads such as electronic devices are connected to the supply system, voltage, and current flowing in the system will be distorted and result in harmonics generation. is it true or false?
True | |
False |
Question 6 Explanation:
A non-sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms are generated when a nonlinear load is connected to the supply system.

Both AC and DC circuits can be measured with a Wattmeter.
Question 8 |
Please mark the wattage of a lamp operated at 120V that has a resistance of 10 Ω:
1 kW | |
1.44 kW |
Question 8 Explanation:
P = V2/R = (120)2/10 = 1440 Watts
Question 9 |
What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit if the resistance of 5ohms is connected in series with a parallel of four resistances, each of 1 ohm?
4.75 ohms | |
5.25 ohms |
Question 9 Explanation:
5 ohm series + 4 parallel circuits each 1 ohm = 5+0.25 = 5.25 ohms
