I had a different answer for #3, let’s see if I get in trouble … … …

  1. Electricity is everywhere!
    Our bodies produce enough energy equivalent to _______
    The human body, at any given moment, produces energy equivalent to a 100 watt light bulb. In that sense, we’re always wasting our energy—energy that can be used to, well, power a light bulb

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
2) The heat content of a substance is called
a) Total Heat
b) Sensible Heat
c) Latent Heat
d) Enthalpy
e) Depends how hot your date is
Enthalpy, a property of a thermodynamic system, is the sum of the system’s internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. In a system contained so as to prevent mass transfer, for processes at constant pressure, the heat absorbed or released equals the change in enthalpy

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
3) The most adequate description of this statement found in an inspection report:
“Gutters are filled with leaves and debris. Remove debris to prevent roof damage.”
a) A correct description of a relationship between components.
b) Incorrect description of a relationship between components.
c) Inappropriate suggestion for a remedy to correct a problem.
d) Appropriate suggestion for a remedy to correct a problem.
d) This statement is an appropriate suggestion for a remedy to correct a problem

Question #11

4) According to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, the inspector is not required to inspect refrigerators, no matter how filthy they appear to be.
True or False
TRUE
Ahhhhh… the infamous nasty refrigeration :smirk:

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
5) How many types of Electricity? _______
How many kinds of Electricity? _______
TWO ~ Static and Current

TWO
There are two main kinds of current: DC or direct current – a ‘flow’ of energy like you get from a battery; and AC, or alternating current (like from your wall outlets) – which reverses the direction of electrons, allowing current flow to turn on and off
