NCCER 1-4 Electrical Practice Questions
and Answers | Latest Version | 2024/2025
| Correct & Verified
What is the purpose of an electrical conduit in a piping system?


✔✔An electrical conduit is used to protect and route electrical wiring in a safe and organized

manner.




How do you calculate the current flowing through a circuit?


✔✔Current is calculated using Ohm’s Law: Current (I) = Voltage (V) ÷ Resistance (R).




What is the primary function of a ground wire?


✔✔A ground wire provides a safe path for electrical currents to dissipate in case of a fault,

preventing electrical shock.




Why is it important to match wire gauge to the current load of a circuit?


✔✔Using the correct wire gauge prevents overheating and reduces the risk of electrical fires.




What does a multimeter measure in an electrical system?


1

,✔✔A multimeter measures voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical system.




What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?


✔✔A circuit breaker protects electrical circuits by automatically shutting off power when

excessive current flows through the circuit.




What is the significance of color coding in electrical wiring?


✔✔Color coding identifies the function of wires, such as hot, neutral, and ground, ensuring

proper installation and safety.




Why should electrical connections be insulated?


✔✔Insulation prevents electrical shocks and short circuits by covering exposed wires and

connections.




What is the difference between AC and DC current?


✔✔AC (alternating current) changes direction periodically, while DC (direct current) flows in

one direction.




What tool is commonly used to strip the insulation off a wire?

2

,✔✔A wire stripper is used to remove insulation from electrical wires.




What is the purpose of a GFCI outlet?


✔✔A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet protects against electrical shock by shutting

off power when a ground fault is detected.




How is a wire connection tested for continuity?


✔✔Continuity is tested using a multimeter set to the continuity mode, ensuring there is an

unbroken path for electricity.




What does the term "ampacity" refer to in electrical systems?


✔✔Ampacity is the maximum amount of electrical current a wire or conductor can carry safely.




What is the purpose of a junction box in electrical installations?


✔✔A junction box protects wire connections and provides a safe space for splicing wires.




Why is it important to turn off power before working on an electrical system?




3

, ✔✔Turning off power prevents electrical shocks and ensures safety while working on the

system.




What is the difference between a single-pole switch and a three-way switch?


✔✔A single-pole switch controls one circuit, while a three-way switch allows control of a circuit

from two different locations.




What is the function of a transformer in an electrical system?


✔✔A transformer changes the voltage of an electrical supply, either stepping it up or stepping it

down as needed.




How do you ensure proper grounding of an electrical system?


✔✔Proper grounding involves connecting the system to a ground rod or other grounding

method, following local codes and standards.




What is the purpose of a wire nut?


✔✔A wire nut is used to securely connect two or more wires, ensuring a safe and insulated

connection.
