(A) Zero
(B) Reverse polarity
(C) Noisy
(D) AC instead of DC
(E) Unreliable

Answer  : A

Question 6

(E) The heat required to make a substance change phase

Answer  : E

Question 9 

Thermocouple extension wire may be readily distinguished from regular thermocouple-grade wire by:

(A) Different metal types
(B) Outer sheath color
(C) Special markings on the wire’s insulation
(D) Thickness
(E) Flexibility (stranded instead of solid)

Answer  : B

Question 10

A type J thermocouple is made of the following metals:
