Sample Practice Test Questions

Electronics Information

The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in a __________ circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.

series

A series circuit has only one path for current to flow. In a series circuit, current (I) is the same throughout the circuit and is equal to the total voltage (V) applied to the circuit divided by the total resistance (R) of the loads in the circuit. The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in the circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.

Word Knowledge
The genial host warmly greeted his many guests.
pleasant
Sympathetic, friendly.
Automotive Information

What is the primary difference between internal and external combustion engines?

where the power is developed

The primary difference between internal and external combustion engines lies in where the power is developed. In an internal combustion engine fuel is ignited and burned inside the same container where the power is developed while in an external combustion engine the fuel is ignited outside the engine and the resulting power sent to it.

Electronics Information

General current flow in a transistor is from __________ to __________.

collector, emitter

The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.

Automotive Information

How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?

cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer

In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.

Electronics Information
diode

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

diode

A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction. Diodes are commonly used for rectification which is the conversion of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Because a diode only allows current flow in one direction, it will pass either the upper or lower half of AC waves (half-wave rectification) creating pulsating DC. Multiple diodes can be connected together to utilize both halves of the AC signal in full-wave rectification.

serene
Calm.
Arithmetic Reasoning

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 6 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

84.6

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{6}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{6 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{30}{100} \) = 0.3 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.3 = 4.7 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 4.7 = 84.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.

Mechanical Comprehension
If input effort is 700 ft⋅lb, what output effort will be produced by a machine with a mechanical advantage of 5?
3500 ft⋅lb
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force and tells us by how many times a machine multiplies input effort. So, a machine with a mechanical advantage of 5 will multiply an input effort of 700 ft⋅lb by 5 to produce an output effort of 3500 ft⋅lb.
Math Knowledge
127°

If angle a = 53° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle d?

127°

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 53° - 27° = 100°

So, d° = 27° + 100° = 127°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 53° = 127°
