6. When adding a rheostat to a light circuit to control the light intensity, it should be connected in
a. Parallel with the light
b. Series with the light
c. Series parallel with the light
d. None of the above
a. Circuit breakers are located: Pallet, Generally far from the power source
b. Close to the power source
c. At any location compatible to the particular unit
d. So as not to be exposed to heat of any kind
9. MTCS:
a. Current limiters limit the starting current in the starter motor
b. Limiting resistor limits the starting current in the starter motor
c. HRC fuses limit the starting current in the starter motor
d. Circuit breakers limit the starting current in the starter motor
10. A white band on the button of a circuit breaker when exposed indicates:
a. Circuit breaker is on and functioning properly
b. Circuit breaker is drawing less current than the rated value
c. Circuit breaker is tripped
d. Circuit breaker is overheated and must be now switched off
11. A circuit breaker is a device for:
a. Protecting an electrical circuit from current overload
b. Collapsing the primary circuit of a magneto
c. Completing a circuit without being affected by current flow
d. All of the above
12. Push switches are primarily used for those circuits which are required to be operated for:
a. Short duration
b. Long duration
c. When circuit is to be completed or interrupted momentarily
d. Both (a) & (c) are correct
13. The number of circuits which can be completed through the poles of a switch is indicated by the term:
a. Pole
b. Position
c. Throw
d. None
14. In a thermal switch employing steel and invar element actuation of the contacts under increasing temperature
condition is caused by:
a. Expansion of the steel element only
b. Contraction of the invar element only
c. Expansion of the steel element causing displacement of the in rear element
d. None of the above
16. Switches which confine the action of toggle and push-button switches are called: Pallet-102
a. Rotary switches
b. Micro switches
c. Tumbler switches
d. Rocker-button switches
18. The principal advantage of proximity switches over micro switches is that:
a. Proximity switches are located very near to the circuit component and hence do not require lengthy wires for
operation
b. Use of relays is eliminated when proximity switches are used hence total components used will be much less
c. Proximity switches have no moving parts as compared to micro switches
d. Proximity switches work on the same principle as solid state devices hence they consume very small amount of
power
19. A circuit breaker that cannot be reset when the circuit fault exist is called:
a. Electric CB
b. Non-resettable CB
c. Trip free CB
d. Polarized CB
