Sample Bac F3 Burkina Faso Practice Questions

1A resistive heater connected to a 12 V DC source draws current through a 24 ohm resistor. What is the current?

A.0.50 A

B.2.0 A

C.12 A

D.288 A

Explanation: Ohm's law states I = U/R. Substituting the given values gives I = 12 V / 24 ohm = 0.50 A. The result is a modest current consistent with a small DC heating resistor.

2Three resistors 10 ohm, 20 ohm and 30 ohm are connected in series. What is the equivalent resistance?

A.6.0 ohm

B.20 ohm

C.60 ohm

D.6000 ohm

Explanation: Series resistances add: Req = 10 + 20 + 30 = 60 ohm. The same current flows through each resistor, so their voltage drops add and the source sees the sum of the three values.

3Two 12 ohm resistors are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent resistance?

A.24 ohm

B.6.0 ohm

C.12 ohm

D.0.17 ohm

Explanation: For two equal resistors R in parallel, Req = R/2. Here Req = 12/2 = 6.0 ohm. Equivalently, 1/Req = 1/12 + 1/12 = 1/6, so Req = 6.0 ohm.

4A single-phase load on the 230 V SONABEL low-voltage network draws 2.0 A at unity power factor. What is the active power?

A.460 W

B.115 W

C.232 W

D.4600 W

Explanation: At unity power factor, P = U I. Therefore P = 230 V * 2.0 A = 460 W. Burkina Faso low-voltage single-phase supplies are 230 V at 50 Hz, so this is the standard BAC F3 power product.

5A 2.0 kW motor runs at constant load for 3.0 hours. How much electrical energy does it absorb if losses are neglected?

A.0.67 kWh

B.5.0 kWh

C.6.0 W

D.6.0 kWh

Explanation: Energy is power multiplied by time: W = P t. With P = 2.0 kW and t = 3.0 h, W = 6.0 kWh. The kilowatt-hour is the energy unit used on SONABEL invoices and in BAC F3 energy calculations.

6A node has one incoming current of 8.0 A and two outgoing currents of 3.0 A and 2.0 A. What is the third outgoing current if no charge accumulates at the node?

A.13 A

B.5.0 A

C.3.0 A

D.0 A

Explanation: Kirchhoff's current law states that the algebraic sum of currents at a node is zero. Incoming 8.0 A must equal 3.0 A + 2.0 A + I3, so I3 = 3.0 A. Charge cannot accumulate at an ideal node.

7A 12 V source feeds a series string of 2.0 kohm and 4.0 kohm. What is the voltage across the 4.0 kohm resistor?

A.4.0 V

B.6.0 V

C.8.0 V

D.12 V

Explanation: The voltage divider gives U4 = 12 * 4.0 / (2.0 + 4.0) = 12 * 4/6 = 8.0 V. The larger resistor takes two-thirds of the source voltage because the same current flows through both resistors.

8A 50 Hz sinusoidal voltage has a peak value of 325 V. What is its RMS value?

A.163 V

B.230 V

C.325 V

D.460 V

Explanation: For a sine wave, Urms = Up / sqrt(2). Then 325 / 1.414 = 230 V. This is the standard peak-to-RMS pair used for the 230 V, 50 Hz single-phase network taught in BAC F3.

9A sinusoidal waveform has a period T = 20 ms. What is its frequency?

A.20 Hz

B.50 Hz

C.60 Hz

D.500 Hz

Explanation: Frequency is the reciprocal of period: f = 1/T. With T = 20 ms = 0.020 s, f = 1/0.020 = 50 Hz. That is the SONABEL / West African grid frequency used throughout BAC F3 papers.

10A 24 V DC source feeds a 4.0 ohm resistor in series with the parallel combination of 6.0 ohm and 12 ohm. What current flows in the 6.0 ohm branch?

A.1.0 A

B.2.0 A

C.3.0 A

D.4.0 A

Explanation: The parallel pair 6.0 ohm || 12 ohm equals 4.0 ohm, so the total resistance is 4.0 + 4.0 = 8.0 ohm. Source current is 24/8.0 = 3.0 A and the voltage across the parallel pair is 3.0 * 4.0 = 12 V. The 6.0 ohm branch then carries 12/6.0 = 2.0 A.
