BASIC ELECTRICITY
Answer all the questions.

Each question is followed by four options lettered A to D. Find the correct option for each question
and shade in pencil, on your answer sheet, the answer space which bears the same letter as the
option you have chosen. Give only one answer to each question.

An example is given below.

A. C generators are rated according to their maximum

A. true power
B. voltage.
C. current.
D. apparent power.

The correct answer is apparent power, which is lettered D, and therefore answer space D
would be shaded.

[A] [B] [C] [D]

Think carefully before you shade the answer spaces; erase completely any answer(s) you wish to
change.

Do all rough work on this question paper.
