Assessment Questions:

I. True or False. Direction: Answer the letter F if the statement is true, and answer the letter T
if the statement is False.
1. The force of a magnetic field can’t produce an electrical current in a conductor. The flow of
electrons or electric current, on the other hand, produces a magnetic field.
Ans: F
2. Magnetism is a force of attraction between ferromagnetic metals such as iron, antimony,
and cobalt and a force of repulsion between diamagnetic metals such as nickel and bismuth.
Ans: F
3. When a conductor is moved through a magnetic field, the force of the magnetic field
generates a voltage in the conductor.
Ans: T

II. Multiple Choice.

1. A ____________ distribution system refers to a system in which all the voltages of the
supply vary in unison. A basic system typically has two conductors: neutral, and the
other carries current.
Ans: Single-phase alternating current
