CURRENT Question 18 THE CAPACITOR FITTED IN THE STARTER SWITCH OF A FLUORESCENT LIGHT FITTING IS FOR WHAT REASON ? TO MAKE IT START QUICKER TO STOP IT FLICKERING WHEN IT'S STARTING TO IMPROVE THE POWER FACTOR TO SUPPRESS RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE Question 19 FIXED CAPACITORS CAN BE PLACED INTO THREE GENERAL CLASSES RELATED TO THEIR DIALECTRICS WHICH CLASS WOULD AN ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR BE IN ? LOW LOSS CAPACITOR MEDIUM LOSS CAPACITOR POLARISED CAPACITOR HIGH STABILITY CAPACITOR Question 20 If the Peak Voltage is 1 Volt AC what is the RMS value 0.637 V 1.414V 0.707V 1.618V

ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question 1 WHAT UNIT WILL THE TOTAL ENERGY STORED IN A CAPACITOR BE MEASURED IN ? Correct Answer: JOULES Question 2 FOR MAXIMUM CAPACITANCE THE PLATES OF A CAPACITOR MUST BE Correct Answer: AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE Question 3 INDUCTANCE IS MEASURED IN WHAT UNITS ? Correct Answer: HENRIES Question 4 IF A POLARISED (ELECTROLYTIC) CAPACITOR WAS CONNECTED THE WRONG WAY ROUND TO A SUPPLY, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ? Correct Answer: IT WOULD BE DESTROYED REMEMBER POLARISED CAPS SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO AN ALTERNATING VOLTAGE AND MUST BE CORRCTLY CONNECTED TO A DC SUPPLY.

Question 5 CALCULATE THE ENERGY STORED IN A 200 MICRO FARAD CAPACITOR CONNECTED TO A 200 VOLT SUPPLY Correct Answer: 4 JOULES REMEMBER E = 0.5CU2 Question 6 IF 3 10 MICRO FARAD CAPACITORS ARE CONNECTED IN SERIES, THE CHARGE ON EACH CAPACITOR WILL BE Correct Answer: THE SAME Question 7 WHY ARE DISCHARGE RESISTORS OFTEN CONNECTED TO LARGE CAPACITORS Correct Answer: TO SAFELY DISSIPATE THE CHARGE HELD THUS REDUCING SHOCK RISK Question 8 WHAT IS THE FORMULA NEEDED TO CALCULATE THE ENERGY STORED IN AN INDUCTOR? Correct Answer: E = 0.5LI2 Question 9 On an AC Mains supply of 230volts, what is the minimum voltage value which capacitors must be rated at? Correct Answer: 400 VOLTS
