  1. A toroidal inductor is one in which the:
    1. windings are wound on a closed ring of magnetic material
    2. windings are air-spaced
    3. windings are wound on a ferrite rod
    4. inductor is enclosed in a magnetic shield

  2. The purpose of using three wires in the mains power cord and plug on amateur radio equipment is to:
    1. make it inconvenient to use
    2. prevent the chassis from becoming live in case of an internal short to the chassis
    3. prevent the plug from being reversed in the wall outlet
    4. prevent short circuits

  3. The following material is considered to be a semiconductor:
    1. copper
    2. sulphur
    3. silicon
    4. tantalum

  4. A varactor diode acts like a variable:
    1. resistance
    2. voltage regulator
    3. capacitance
    4. inductance

  5. The figure shown represents a:
    1. dual bipolar transistor
    2. dual diode
    3. dual varactor diode
    4. dual gate MOSFET

  6. An ohmmeter measures the:
    1. value of any resistance placed between its terminals
    2. impedance of any component placed between its terminals
    3. power factor of any inductor or capacitor placed between its terminals
    4. voltage across any resistance placed between its terminals

  7. The input to an amplifier is 1 volt rms and output 100 volt rms. This is an increase of:
    1. 10 dB
    2. 20 dB
    3. 40 dB
    4. 100 dB
