Saudi Council of Engineers

The SCE FE Electrical discipline exam is a 3-hour computer-based test with 50 multiple-choice questions in English, administered by Qiyas. The discipline portion costs 400 SAR (800 SAR total with the 90-question general part). Each part is scored pass/fail on a scaled basis; SCE/Qiyas do not publish a fixed percentage threshold. This practice bank targets the electrical discipline syllabus for Associate Engineer credentialing.

Sample SCE FE Electrical Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your SCE FE Electrical exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A 12 V DC source is connected across a 4 Ω resistor. The current through the resistor is:
A.2 A
B.3 A
C.4 A
D.48 A
Explanation: I = V/R = 12/4 = 3 A by Ohm's law.
2Two resistors of 6 Ω and 3 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is:
A.9 Ω
B.4.5 Ω
C.2 Ω
D.18 Ω
Explanation: 1/R_eq = 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6, so R_eq = 6/3 = 2 Ω.
3In a series RLC circuit at resonance, the impedance is:
A.Maximum and purely reactive
B.Minimum and purely resistive
C.Zero
D.Infinite
Explanation: At resonance XL = XC, reactive components cancel, and impedance equals R — its minimum value and purely resistive.
4A 10 μF capacitor is charged to 100 V. The stored energy is:
A.0.05 J
B.0.5 J
C.5 J
D.50 J
Explanation: E = ½CV² = ½(10×10⁻⁶)(100²) = ½(10×10⁻⁶)(10000) = 0.05 J.
5Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that:
A.The sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero
B.The algebraic sum of currents entering a node equals zero
C.Power is the product of voltage and current
D.Resistance equals voltage divided by current
Explanation: KCL is a statement of charge conservation: the algebraic sum of currents at any node is zero.
6A 60 Hz AC voltage has a peak value of 170 V. Its RMS value is approximately:
A.120 V
B.170 V
C.240 V
D.340 V
Explanation: V_rms = V_peak/√2 ≈ 170/1.414 ≈ 120 V.
7The Thevenin equivalent of a linear network consists of:
A.A current source in parallel with resistance
B.A voltage source in series with resistance
C.Two voltage sources in series
D.A capacitor and inductor in series
Explanation: Thevenin's theorem replaces any linear two-terminal network with V_th in series with R_th.
8Three identical resistors each of 12 Ω are connected in a wye (Y) configuration. The resistance between any two line terminals is:
A.4 Ω
B.8 Ω
C.12 Ω
D.36 Ω
Explanation: For equal Y resistors R, line-to-line = 2R/3 = 2(12)/3 = 8 Ω.
9In an AC circuit, the power factor is defined as:
A.V_rms / I_rms
B.Real power / Apparent power
C.Reactive power / Real power
D.Peak voltage / Peak current
Explanation: Power factor cos φ = P/S = real power divided by apparent power.
10A first-order RC circuit with R = 10 kΩ and C = 100 μF has a time constant τ of:
A.1 ms
B.10 ms
C.100 ms
D.1 s
Explanation: τ = RC = (10×10³)(100×10⁻⁶) = 1000×10⁻⁴ = 1 s.

About the SCE FE Electrical Exam

The SCE Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Electrical discipline exam is the specialized portion of the Qiyas-administered FE credentialing pathway for electrical engineers in Saudi Arabia. After passing the 90-question general engineering session, candidates sit a 50-question, 3-hour electrical discipline exam covering circuits, electronics, power systems, electromagnetics, control systems, and signals. Passing both parts supports SCE Associate Engineer classification.

SCE FE Electrical Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master phasor analysis and complex power (S, P, Q) — three-phase and power-factor problems appear frequently on electrical discipline exams.
2Practice Thevenin/Norton equivalents and superposition for DC and AC circuits before tackling harder network problems.
3Review transformer per-unit conversions and symmetrical components for balanced and single-line-to-ground faults.
4Know op-amp golden rules and common configurations: inverting, non-inverting, summing, and differentiator/integrator.
5Study Bode plot interpretation for gain margin and phase margin — stability questions are common in control systems.
6Memorize key Laplace transform pairs and apply them to first- and second-order transient response problems.
