T6A01 @T6A02

What does a variable resistor or potentiometer do?

A.  Its resistance changes when AC is applied to it

B.  It transforms a variable voltage into a constant voltage

C.  Its resistance changes when its slide or contact is moved

T6A03 @N6A02

Why would you use a double-pole, single-throw switch?

A.  To switch one input to one output

B.  To switch one input to either of two outputs

C.  To switch two inputs at the same time, one input to either of two

outputs, and the other input to either of two outputs

D.  To switch two inputs at the same time, one input to one output,

and the other input to the other output

T6A09 @T6A08

Why would a large size resistor be used instead of a smaller one of

the same resistance value?

A.  For better response time

B.  For a higher current gain

C.  For greater power dissipation

D.  For less impedance in the circuit

 

T6A10 @T6A05

What do the first three color bands on a resistor indicate?
