1

The diameter of a number 12 wire is __________ the diameter of a number 6 wire?

52% Answer Correctly

double

more than

less than

triple
Solution

The larger the number the smaller the diameter of the wire. So, the diameter of a number 12 wire is less than the diameter of a number 6 wire.

2

Which of the following is the preferred method for splicing wires?

57% Answer Correctly

wrap in small gauge wire

wire crimps

screw-on connectors

soldering
Solution

Splicing is permanently joining two wires together. Splicing can be done with screw-on connectors or wire crimps but the preferred method for splicing is soldering. Soldering takes the most effort but results in a connection that is electrically and mechanically identical to the original wire.

3

The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?

78% Answer Correctly

middle

outer

inner

first
Solution

All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.

4

The valence shell of n insulator is how full of electrons?

56% Answer Correctly

half full

less than half full

more than half full

empty
Solution

Insulators have valence shells that are more than half full of electrons and, as such, are tightly bound to the nucleus and difficult to move from one atom to another.

5

You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):

83% Answer Correctly

battery

voltmeter

reostat

ammeter
Solution

Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.
