  1. A dry cell has an open circuit voltage of 1.5 volt. When supplying a large current the voltage drops to 1.2 volt. This is due to the cell's:
    1. internal resistance
    2. voltage capacity
    3. electrolyte becoming dry
    4. current capacity

  2. A 6 ohm resistor is connected in parallel with a 30 ohm resistor. The total resistance of the combination is:
    1. 5 ohm
    2. 8 ohm
    3. 24 ohm
    4. 35 ohm

  3. Two resistors are in parallel. Resistor A carries twice the current of resistor B which means that:
    1. A has half the resistance of B
    2. B has half the resistance of A
    3. the voltage across A is twice that across B
    4. the voltage across B is twice that across B

  4. A current of 500 milliamp passes through a 1000 ohm resistance. The power dissipated is:
    1. 0.25 watt
    2. 2.5 watt
    3. 25 watt
    4. 250 watt

  5. Each of 9 resistors in a circuit is dissipating 4 watt. If the circuit operates from a 12 volt supply, the total current flowing in the circuit is:
    1. 48 ampere
    2. 36 ampere
    3. 9 ampere
    4. 3 ampere

  6. An impure signal is found to have 2 kHz and 4 kHz components. This 4 kHz signal is:
    1. a fundamental of the 2 kHz signal
    2. a sub-harmonic of 2 kHz
    3. the DC component of the main signal
    4. a harmonic of the 2 kHz signal

  7. Three 15 picofarad capacitors are wired in parallel. The value of the combination is:
    1. 45 picofarad
    2. 18 picofarad
    3. 12 picofarad
    4. 5 picofarad
