Sample Practice Test Questions

Electronics Information

Which of the following converts electrical energy into another form of energy in an electrical circuit?

load

A load is a source of resistance that converts electrical energy into another form of energy. The components of a microwave, for example, are loads that work together to convert household electricity into radation that can be used to quickly cook food.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Simplify \( \frac{24}{56} \).

\( \frac{3}{7} \)

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24] and the factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{24}{56} \) = \( \frac{\frac{24}{8}}{\frac{56}{8}} \) = \( \frac{3}{7} \)

Electronics Information

Which of the following will help to prevent a short circuit?

fuse

Fuses are thin wires that melt when the current in a circuit exceeds a preset amount. They help prevent short circuits from damaging circuit components when an unusually large current is applied to the circuit, either through component failure or spikes in applied voltage.

Arithmetic Reasoning

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 20 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

4

To fill a 20 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 10 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{10 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4

General Science

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

gas

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.

Electronics Information

The valence shell of a semiconductor is how full of electrons?

half full

Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.

Electronics Information

Which of the following is not an advantage of semiconductors over conductors?

a semiconductor conducts current better than a conductor

A semiconductor is a material that has a limited ability to conduct electrical current with conductivity between that of an insulator and that of a conductor. Silicon, a cheap and abundant material, is the most used semiconductor material although other materials are used in the electronics components made from semiconductors. The primary advantages of a semiconductor over a conductor is that the conductivity of a semiconductor can be varied under an external electrical field giving engineers precise control over complex circuits and, unlike conductors like metals, a semiconductor's conductivity increases with increased temperatures.

Mechanical Comprehension
12.5 lbs. If a 25 lbs. weight is placed 3 ft. from the fulcrum at the blue arrow and the green box is 6 ft. from the fulcrum, how much would the green box have to weigh to balance the lever?
12.5 lbs.

To balance this lever the torques on each side of the fulcrum must be equal. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum so the equation for equilibrium is:

Rada = Rbdb

where a represents the left side of the fulcrum and b the right, R is resistance (weight) and d is the distance from the fulcrum.

Solving for Ra, our missing value, and plugging in our variables yields:

Ra = \( \frac{R_bd_b}{d_a} \) = \( \frac{25 lbs. \times 3 ft.}{6 ft.} \) = \( \frac{75 ft⋅lb}{6 ft.} \) = 12.5 lbs.

Word Knowledge
The supple leather coat draped like soft cloth around her shoulders.
pliant
Flexible.
Electronics Information

Which of the following is the formula for calculating electrical power?

P = IV

Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.
