1What is the SI unit of electric resistance?

A.Ampere (A)

B.Ohm (Ω)

C.Volt (V)

D.Watt (W)

Explanation: Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is the resistance that produces a one-volt drop when one ampere flows through it.

2Ohm's law relating voltage U, current I and resistance R is:

A.U = I / R

B.U = I × R

C.U = I + R

D.U = R / I

Explanation: Ohm's law states U = I × R (or I = U/R). Voltage across a resistor equals current times resistance.

3An ammeter reads 5 A and a voltmeter across the same resistive load reads 30 V. The resistance is:

A.5 Ω

B.6 Ω

C.30 Ω

D.150 Ω

Explanation: R = U/I = 30 V / 5 A = 6 Ω. This matches the calculation style used in official Pancyprian 509 papers.

4Two resistors R1 = 2 Ω and R2 = 4 Ω are connected in series across a DC source. Which statement is true?

A.They have the same voltage across each resistor

B.They carry the same current

C.They are connected in parallel

D.The smaller resistor dissipates more power

Explanation: In series, the same current flows through every element. Voltages divide in proportion to resistance, so they are not equal.

5Two resistors R1 = 2 Ω and R2 = 4 Ω are connected in parallel across the same DC source. Which statement is true?

A.They carry equal currents

B.They have the same voltage across their terminals

C.Their equivalent resistance is 6 Ω

D.Current flows only through the 2 Ω branch

Explanation: Parallel branches share the same terminal voltage. Currents then split inversely with resistance.

6Three 9 Ω resistors are connected in parallel across 27 V. The total current drawn from the source is:

A.1 A

B.3 A

C.6 A

D.9 A

Explanation: Each branch current is 27/9 = 3 A. Three identical parallel branches give Itotal = 3 × 3 = 9 A. Equivalently Req = 3 Ω, so I = 27/3 = 9 A.

7Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) states that at any node:

A.The sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero

B.The algebraic sum of currents entering equals the algebraic sum leaving

C.Power into a node always equals voltage times resistance

D.Current is constant only in series capacitors

Explanation: KCL is charge conservation at a node: currents in equal currents out (algebraic sum is zero).

8At a node, currents I1 = 7 A and I2 = 8 A enter, while I3 = 6 A and I4 = 4 A leave. The remaining branch current I5 leaving the node is:

A.1 A

B.5 A

C.9 A

D.25 A

Explanation: KCL: currents in = currents out. 7 + 8 = 15 A entering. Outgoing already 6 + 4 = 10 A, so I5 = 15 − 10 = 5 A leaving.

9Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) states that around any closed loop:

A.The sum of currents is zero

B.The algebraic sum of voltage rises and drops is zero

C.Resistance must be constant

D.Power factor must equal 1

Explanation: KVL follows from a conservative electric field in lumped circuits: the net voltage around a closed path is zero.

10Resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω in series are fed by 36 V. The voltage across the 6 Ω resistor is:

A.12 V

B.18 V

C.24 V

D.36 V

Explanation: Voltage divider: U6 = 36 × (6/(3+6)) = 36 × (6/9) = 24 V. Current is 36/9 = 4 A, so U6 = 4 × 6 = 24 V.

About the Pancyprian Electrical Engineering III (Practical) Exam

Ηλεκτρολογία ΙΙΙ Τ.Σ. (Π.Κ.), code 509, is the Pancyprian access subject for Technical School practical-direction electrical pathways. The written paper tests DC circuit solving, AC RLC analysis, AC power and power-factor correction, three-phase star/delta calculations, and generation/transmission/distribution including ΑΗΚ network practice. It is distinct from theoretical-direction code 409. This bank provides 100 original English-language MCQs with worked calculations and per-option explanations mapped to the official specification table.

Exam sponsor: Examinations Service, Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

The official assessment is a single 2.5-hour written paper in Greek (typically Parts A–C combining short selection/true-false items with multi-part calculations), with a formula sheet and non-programmable calculator allowed. Official item count is not published as a fixed MCQ total. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation. Code 509 (Π.Κ.) is distinct from theoretical-direction Ηλεκτρολογία ΙΙΙ code 409 (Θ.Κ.).

Pancyprian Electrical Engineering III (Practical): Suggested Study Strategy

1Master Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws until node and loop currents feel automatic - Part A and Part C repeatedly reward clean current/voltage bookkeeping.

2Memorise XL = 2πfL, XC = 1/(2πfC), Z = √(R² + (XL−XC)²), and P = UI cosφ; then practise writing every substitution with units.

3For three-phase star systems remember U_line = √3 U_phase and I_line = I_phase; for delta, I_line = √3 I_phase and U_line = U_phase.

4Power-factor correction questions often use a k-factor table with QC = P·k - practise reading the table carefully rather than inventing k.

5Learn ΑΗΚ supply facts from past papers: single-phase domestic feed uses phase + neutral; three-phase uses three phases + neutral; overhead earth wire protects against lightning.

6Practise writing full Greek solutions from official past papers under a 2.5-hour timer - MCQs alone cannot replace that skill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this practice bank the same as the official Pancyprian 509 paper?

No. The official exam is a 2.5-hour written paper in Greek with short selection items and multi-part calculations (formula sheet permitted). This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation: use it to build fluency with laws and numbers, but practise full written solutions in Greek under timed conditions using past papers from the Examinations Service.

How is code 509 different from code 409?

Code 509 is Ηλεκτρολογία ΙΙΙ Τ.Σ. (Π.Κ.) — Practical Direction. Code 409 is Ηλεκτρολογία ΙΙΙ Τ.Σ. (Θ.Κ.) — Theoretical Direction. They are separate access subjects with their own papers and specification tables; do not mix past papers or assume identical weightings.

What topics does the official 509 specification cover?

Direct-current circuit laws; alternating-current characteristics, RLC circuits, AC power and power-factor improvement; three-phase characteristics and calculations; and production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, including the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (ΑΗΚ) network.

How is the paper marked and is there a pass mark?

The paper is marked on a 0-20 scale. There is no pass or fail threshold: the mark feeds the candidate's access/ranking grade (βαθμός πρόσβασης) used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

Are calculators and formula sheets allowed?

Recent official papers explicitly allow a non-programmable calculator and provide a formula sheet (τυπολόγιο). Always confirm the current year's instructions on panexams.moec.gov.cy.

When was the 2026 sitting for code 509?

Per the official 2026 timetable, Technical School practical-direction technology subjects including 509 were scheduled for Tuesday 16 June 2026, 08:00–10:30 (2.5 hours).
