  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 60 Hz AC generator has an internal resistance of 5 Ω. If the generator produces 10 A RMS, what is the maximum voltage produced?

    • A) 120 V
    • B) 144 V
    • C) 169 V
    • D) 196 V

    Answer: 169 V

    Explanation: Using Ohm's law, the maximum voltage is 169 V RMS, calculated from V = I * sqrt(2) * Z
