North pole induces _______
a) Anti-clockwise current
b) Infinite current
c) Zero current
d) Clockwise current
a) Anti-clockwise current
A north pole will always induce an anti-clockwise current whereas a south pole will always induce a clockwise current due to electromagnetic theory

Why is it important to have a grounding conductor on all electrical cords?
a) Helps protect the person using the cord from electrical shock
b) Helps route current through the supplied ground instead of the person
c) Current will always take the path to ground with the least resistance
d) a-c
e) a-b-c
a)
Answer B makes it sound as if the current will only go through the equipment grounding conductor (EGC) and not the person, this is not true. If the EGC and the person are both parallel paths then the current will flow though both of them, since the EGC should have a lower resistance more current should flow on it but not all of it as the answer implies.
In C that answer is false because it implies that current will only follow the path of least resistance, this is false because the current will follow all parallel paths regardless of the path’s resistance.

On voltage increase, what happens to dielectric strength?
a) Increases
b) Becomes zero
c) Decreases
d) Remains the same
a) Increases
Dielectric strength is the potential gradient required to cause a breakdown in the material. Potential gradient is the ratio of voltage and length. Hence as potential increases, dielectric strength also increases

O K !
WHO sang this on WHAT song?
Must be those strangers that come every night . . . 
*Must be those strangers that come every night *
*Whose saucers shaped light put people up tight *
*Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark *
I hope they get home all right
