In Thevenin's theorem, what is the Thevenin equivalent voltage (VTh)?
A The voltage across the load terminals when load is connected
B The open-circuit voltage across the terminals where load is removed
C The voltage drop across the internal resistance
D The maximum voltage the source can provide
Correct Answer:  B. The open-circuit voltage across the terminals where load is removed
EXPLANATION

Thevenin equivalent voltage is the open-circuit voltage measured across the two terminals when the load is removed from the circuit.

Test
An ideal voltage source has internal resistance of:
A Zero
B Infinite
C Equal to load resistance
D 1 Ω
Correct Answer:  A. Zero
EXPLANATION

An ideal voltage source maintains constant voltage regardless of load, which requires zero internal resistance.

Test
In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags the voltage by:
A 90°
B
C 45°
D 60°
Correct Answer:  A. 90°
EXPLANATION

In a purely inductive circuit, current lags voltage by 90° due to self-inductance effects.

Test
For a node in a circuit applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), the sum of currents entering equals:
A The sum of currents leaving the node
B The voltage at the node
C Zero for any configuration
D The total power dissipated
Correct Answer:  A. The sum of currents leaving the node
EXPLANATION

KCL states that the algebraic sum of currents at a node is zero, meaning currents entering equal currents leaving.

Test
The resonant frequency of a series RLC circuit is given by:
A f = 1/(2π√LC)
B f = 2π√LC
C f = √(LC)/(2π)
D f = 1/(√LC)
Correct Answer:  A. f = 1/(2π√LC)
EXPLANATION

At resonance, XL = XC, leading to the resonant frequency formula f₀ = 1/(2π√LC).

Test
In a purely resistive AC circuit, the phase difference between voltage and current is:
A
B 90°
C 45°
D 180°
Correct Answer:  A. 0°
EXPLANATION

In a purely resistive circuit, voltage and current are in phase, so the phase difference is 0°.

Test
For maximum power transfer in a DC circuit, the load resistance RL should be equal to:
A The Thevenin equivalent resistance RTh
B The Norton equivalent current IN
C Twice the source resistance
D Half the source resistance
Correct Answer:  A. The Thevenin equivalent resistance RTh
EXPLANATION

Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states that maximum power is delivered when load resistance equals the Thevenin equivalent resistance of the source.

Test
The power factor of an AC circuit is defined as:
A cos(φ) where φ is the phase angle between voltage and current
B sin(φ) where φ is the phase angle between voltage and current
C tan(φ) where φ is the phase angle between voltage and current
D 1/cos(φ)
Correct Answer:  A. cos(φ) where φ is the phase angle between voltage and current
EXPLANATION

Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current, representing the fraction of apparent power that is real power.

Test
In a series RLC circuit, the impedance Z is given by:
A Z = √(R² + (XL - XC)²)
B Z = R + XL + XC
C Z = √(R² + XL² + XC²)
D Z = R + √(XL - XC)
Correct Answer:  A. Z = √(R² + (XL - XC)²)
EXPLANATION

Impedance in a series RLC circuit is the vector sum of resistance and net reactance. Z = √(R² + (XL - XC)²) is the standard formula.
