Sample Maharashtra HSC Electronics and Hardware Technician (NSQF E5) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Maharashtra HSC Electronics and Hardware Technician (NSQF E5) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to Ohm’s law, the voltage across a resistor equals:
A.Current plus resistance (V = I + R)
B.Current divided by resistance (V = I / R)
C.Current times resistance (V = I × R)
D.Resistance divided by current (V = R / I)
Explanation: Ohm’s law states V = I × R for an ohmic conductor at constant temperature. Hardware technicians use it to predict meter readings and load behaviour.
2A 12 V DC supply is connected across a 6 Ω resistor. The current through the resistor is:
A.0.5 A
B.2 A
C.18 A
D.72 A
Explanation: I = V / R = 12 V / 6 Ω = 2 A. Divide voltage by resistance for a single resistive load.
3In a simple series circuit, the quantity that is the same through every component is the:
A.Voltage drop on every component
B.Power in every component
C.Resistance of every component
D.Current
Explanation: Series connection provides one path, so current is identical through each part. Voltage and power depend on each resistance.
4Two equal resistors connected in parallel have an equivalent resistance that is:
A.Equal to one resistor’s value
B.Half of one resistor’s value
C.Twice one resistor’s value
D.Zero ohms
Explanation: For two equal resistors R in parallel, R_eq = R/2 because two equal paths share current.
5The unit of electrical resistance is the:
A.Ampere
B.Volt
C.Ohm
D.Watt
Explanation: Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω). Ampere is current, volt is potential difference, and watt is power.
6A capacitor primarily stores energy in the form of:
A.A magnetic field
B.An electric field between its plates
C.Mechanical vibration
D.Nuclear energy
Explanation: A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between charged plates. Inductors store energy in a magnetic field.
7An inductor opposes a change in:
A.Voltage only
B.Resistance only
C.Current
D.Temperature
Explanation: Inductance opposes changes in current (L di/dt). That property is central to filters, coils, and switching circuits.
8Two resistors of 10 Ω and 40 Ω are connected in series across 20 V. The current in the circuit is:
A.0.4 A
B.0.5 A
C.2 A
D.5 A
Explanation: R_total = 10 + 40 = 50 Ω. I = V/R = 20/50 = 0.4 A. Series resistances add.
9A 5 V supply feeds two series resistors 1 kΩ and 4 kΩ. Voltage across the 4 kΩ resistor is approximately:
A.1 V
B.2 V
C.4 V
D.5 V
Explanation: Voltage divider: V4k = 5 × (4k/(1k+4k)) = 5 × 0.8 = 4 V. The larger series resistor drops more voltage.
10Three 30 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is:
A.90 Ω
B.30 Ω
C.10 Ω
D.0 Ω
Explanation: For n equal resistors R in parallel, R_eq = R/n. Here R_eq = 30/3 = 10 Ω.
