Sample Questions

Listed below are sample questions that reflect
the type of questions that you may see on the SKAT Electrical test. 
These questions consist of electrical knowledge including basic electricity
(symbols and formulas), direct current, alternating current, wiring
diagrams, symbols, and transformers.
Sample 1

A charged atom is known as a (n)

ion
proton
neu</span><span

quark

The correct answer for Sample 1 is a.  Therefore alternative
a has been circled.

Sample 2

An atom having fewer electrons than protons will carry a positive charge. 

The correct answer for Sample 2 is positive so this answer has been
written in the blank. 

Sample 3

Materials which permit the flow of electrons are referred to as

resistors

conductors

transmitters
switches

Sample 4

The speed of electron movement is considered to be the same as the
speed of ___light________. 

For Sample 3, the correct answer is b.  Therefore, alternative
b has been circled.  The correct answer for Sample 4 is light
so this answer has been written in the blank.
