βœ… Correct Answer: A
Explanation: At high frequencies, current flows near the conductor’s surface.
Q: An oscilloscope is used to measure
A) Frequency
B) Voltage and waveform
C) Current only
D) Temperature
βœ… Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Oscilloscopes visualize and measure electrical waveforms.
Q: The purpose of using a relay in circuits is to
A) Protect against overvoltage
B) Amplify current
C) Store charge
D) Switch circuits remotely
βœ… Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Relays switch electrical circuits mechanically or electronically.
Q: When a circuit is open, the current is
A) Moderate
B) Zero
C) Infinite
D) Maximum
βœ… Correct Answer: B
Explanation: An open circuit means a break, so no current flows.
