ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS FUTURISTIC QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS .6
1) What is electrical engineering? - correct answer It is the branch of engineering that deals with the
technology of electricity.
2) What level of education is required to become an electrical engineer? - correct answer Associate
Degrees. Most employers require electrical engineers to hold a bachelor's degree from a school
accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), but some colleges still
offer associate programs in electrical engineering to serve as a stepping-stone to a four-year degree.
3) High school students should take the highest-level courses possible in _____ and _____ if they wish
to become electrical engineers. - correct answer Math and Science
4) Electricity is the flow of _____. - correct answer Electrons
5) All matter is made up of microscopic building blocks called _____. - correct answer Atoms
6) Most electricity is produced using electric _____. - correct answer Generators
7) A battery is an example of which source of electricity? - correct answer Chemical Action
8) Electromotive force is another term for _____. - correct answer Electromotive force, also called emf
(denoted and measured in volts), is the voltage developed by any source of electrical energy such as
a battery or dynamo. It is generally defined as the electrical potential for a source in a circuit.
9) _____ are the unit of measure for electrons. - correct answer Joules
10) When _____ is constant, current flows in only one direction. - correct answer Charge
11) What is not an example of a good conductor? - correct answer Rubber
, 12) In a circuit where voltage is held constant, if resistance increases, current _____. - correct answer
decreases
13) The unit for power is the _____. - correct answer Watt
14) _____ is the relationship between resistance, current, and voltage in electrical circuits. - correct
answer ohm's law
