1. What is the difference between AC and DC current?

Answer: AC (Alternating Current): Changes direction periodically (used in homes, 220V AC).
DC (Direct Current): Flows in one direction only (used in batteries, phones, electronics).

2. What are semiconductors?

Semiconductors are materials whose electrical conductivity lies between conductors and insulators

3. What is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and why is it used?


Answer: A PCB is a board made of insulating material with conductive copper tracks printed on it to connect electronic components.

A PCB is a board used to mount and connect electronic components electrically.

4. What safety precautions should be taken when working with electrical equipment?/ What are PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Insulated gloves
ESD wrist strap and shoes (for electronics)
Safety glasses
Anti-static coat

5. What is the purpose of a multimeter and what measurements can it perform?

A multimeter is a versatile measuring instrument used by technicians to troubleshoot electrical and electronic circuits. It can measure voltage (AC and
DC), current (amperes), resistance (ohms), and often continuity (to check if a circuit is complete

6. What is earthing (grounding)? Why is it important?


Answer:
Earthing connects exposed metal parts of equipment to the ground to prevent electric shock and protect equipment from faults.

7. What is ESD and why is it important in electronics factories?


Answer:
ESD = Electrostatic Discharge. It can damage sensitive components like ICs. We use wrist straps, ESD mats, and grounding to prevent it.

8. What is a short circuit and what is its effect?


Answer:
Short circuit is a low-resistance path between supply terminals causing very high current, leading to overheating, fuse blowing, or damage.

9. What is Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)?


Answer:
A safety procedure to ensure machines are switched off and cannot be started accidentally during maintenance.

10. What is Soldering


Soldering is the process of joining two metal components using a filler metal (solder).
