(b) heat

(c) light

(d) dust

2. Pendant holder is used for fixing the bulb

(a) fixing the bulb

(b) fixing the fan

(c) for hanging the bulb

(d) to hang the fan

3. A two-way switch is used for control one bulb from 2 points

(a) control one bulb from 2 points

(b) control two bulbs from 2 points

(c) control multiple bulbs from 2 points

(d) control one bulb from one point

D. Short answer questions

1. Why is PVC casing-capping preferred over wooden casing-capping wiring?

PVC casing is preferred over wooden casing because of following reasons:

 Easy to install
 Strong and durable wiring
 Customization can be done easily
 Safe from smoke, dust, rain and steam, etc.
 No risk of shock due to casing and capping.

2. How does an MCB help in managing electrical power?

MCB helps in managing electrical power by managing the flow of energy

and distributing voltage equally.

3. Why is conduit wiring used in homes?

 Conduit wiring is done in home because of following reasons

 Safe
 Better appearance
 No risk of fire
 No risk of damage of cable insulation
 Safe from humidity, smoke, steam, etc.
 No risk of shock
 Long lasting

4. Discuss the importance of colour codes in electrical wiring.

Colour distinctions are very important and knowing the proper color coding
is essential when performing electrical work. Each color serves a different purpose
and you should be aware that all wires, no matter their function or color, can
carry a current at some point so they should be handled carefully.
