Sample questions

Which type of drawing gives all the information needed to make a single part?

  1. Assembly drawing
  2. Detail drawing
  3. Installation drawing

Which extinguisher is suitable for a fire in energized electrical equipment?

  1. Carbon dioxide
  2. Plain water
  3. Water-based foam
  4. Soda-acid
Show the answer

A. Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide does not conduct electricity and leaves no residue, so it suits Class C fires. Water and water-based agents conduct current and put the operator at risk of shock.
