Installer technician conventional Questions
and Answers 2024/2025
Why do only the outer electrons leave their orbit shells?

 Only outer electrons leave their orbit shells, because electrons furthest from the
nuclear us are more easily freed from their orbits due to a weaker electrostatic force


What is required to have a balanced atom?

 The number of electrons must equal the number of protons to have a balanced atom


List the capacity for each of the first for orbital shells of an atom

 Shell 1=2 electrons, shell 2= 8 electrons, shell 3= 18 electrons, and shell 4 is 32
electrons


What is the maximum electron capacity of a valance shell?


 The valence shell can hold a maximum of eight electrons


Electrons in orbit nearest the nuclear us contain———-energy than those in more distant

orbits.

 Electrons in orbit nearest the Nicolas contain less energy than those in more distant
orbits


What happens to a valance electron that has enough energy added to it?


 A valence electron that has enough energy added to it, moves away from its Atom


What is the major factor that determines the category of a particular element?

 The number of electrons in the valance shell of determines the element category

How many valence electrons are there in a good conductor?

 Good conductor has only one or two valence electrons


List, gold, silver, and copper in the order of the best connectivity

 Silver, copper, gold


Why do metals that each have only one valence electron differ in their conductivity


 Metals that each have one valance electron differ in their conductivity, because of the
way their atoms pack together into a solid structure


Describe the two characteristics of an insulator

 The two characteristics of an insulator are its valence Shell is almost filled and tends to
be fairly stable and two it, tries to finish, filling its valance shell by capturing
additional free electrons.


How many valence electrons are in a semiconductor


 A semiconductor has four valence electrons.


Name of the two types of electron current flow

 Random drift and directed. Flow are the two types of electron current flow.


What causes electrons to be knocked loose and travel randomly from one atom to another

 The movement of atoms in materials that are conductors and the agitation as they
collide cause electrons to be knocked loose and travel randomly from one atom to
another


What can force electrons to all move in the same direction?

 Applying a negative charge to one end of the wire in a positive charge to the other
can force electrons to all move in the same direction


What actually produces electric current?

 The transfer of energy from valence electron to valance electron as a result of
applied charges is what actually produces electric current


How does the speed of electric current compared to that of electron travel?

 The affective speed of electric current is 186, 00 0 mi./s is much faster than the actual
speed of electron travel


What is the basic measurement unit of electron current?


 The ampere is the basic measurement unit for electron current


Define electromotive force (EMF)

 EMF is the electrical force that motivates electrons to move in a wire


What does the term potential difference mean?

 Potential difference is the algebraic difference between the electrical individual
potential's of two points


What is the potential difference between two negative charges of equal value


 The potential difference between two negative charges of equal value of zero. There
is no potential difference.


What is the unit used to indicate the strength or size of the potential difference?

 The vault is the unit used to indicate the strength or size of the potential difference

Define a volt in terms of current and resistance.

 1 V is the amount of force required to produce a current of one amp through a
resistance of one ohm


What are three alternate ways to Express five and 3MA

 5 microvolts, 5/1000000 volts or 0.00005 V, and three Milla amps. 3/1000 amps or
0.003 A


What are two alternate ways to express 2 megavolt?

 2MV or 2 million volts


What are two alternate ways to express for kilovolts?

 4kv or 4000 volts


Which orbital shell has a maximum electron capacity of 18 electrons

 The third shell


Why are semiconductor material is not good conductors nor good insulators


 The valance shells are only half filled


Which of the following best describes a conductor

 Elements that have a small number of electrons in the Valence shell


Which of the following best describes the relationship between an amp and a coulomb

 The number of amps is equivalent to the number of coulombs passing a given point
during one second
