HAM Radio test questions & answers
2024/2025

Voltage - ANSWERSElectromotive Force, or EMF, force that causes electrons to flow in a circuit (E)



Volt - ANSWERSUnit of electromotive force



12 Volts - ANSWERSAmount of voltage that a mobile transceiver usually requires



Current - ANSWERSFlow of electrons in an electric circuit (I)



Amperes - ANSWERSMeasurement of electrical current



Direct Current - ANSWERSCurrent that flows only in 1 direction



Alternating Current - ANSWERSCurrent that reverses direction on a regular basis



Resistance - ANSWERSAmount of current suppressed (R)



Frequency - ANSWERSDescribes the number of times per second an alternating current reverses
direction, measured in Hertz



Copper - ANSWERSGood electrical conductors, used to connect a power supply to a radio



Glass - ANSWERSInsulator, has high resistance, which means it does not conduct electrical current very
well



Power - ANSWERSRate at which electrical energy is used

,Watts - ANSWERSMeasurement of power (W)



Ohm's Law - ANSWERSE = I x R

Voltage = Current x Resistance

3 dB Amount of Change - ANSWERSPower increase from 5 watts to 10 watts, 2:1, measured in decibels



-6 dB Amount of Change - ANSWERSPower decrease from 12 watts to 3 watts, 4:1, measured in decibels



10 dB Amount of Change - ANSWERSPower increase from 20 watts to 200 watts, 10:1, measured in
decibels



Resistor - ANSWERSOpposes flow of current in a DC circuit

,Potentiometer - ANSWERSVariable resistor whose resistance can be adjusted



Capacitor - ANSWERSStores energy in a electric field

Source, Gate, Drain - ANSWERSThree electrodes of a field effect transistor



Schematic Symbols - ANSWERSStandardized representations of components in an electrical wiring
diagram



Transformer - ANSWERSCommonly used to change 120V AC house current to a lower AC voltage for
other uses



Rectifier - ANSWERSChanges an alternating current into a varying direct current signal



Variable Inductor Component, Antenna Component - ANSWERS#3, #4



Simple resonant or tuned circuit - ANSWERSInductor and capacitor connected in series or parallel to
form a filter



Relay - ANSWERSSwitch controlled by a magnet



Meter - ANSWERSDisplays signal strength on a numeric scale
