C&G 2357 Unit 309 Questions With Answers

The C&G2357-309 forms part of the NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Electrotechnology.

It consists of a 30 question multiple-choice online exam to be completed in 60 minutes, and a 30 question written exam to be completed in 120 minutes.

These exams combine all of the science and principles behind electrical design and installation. The topics covered are as follows: mathematical principles, SI units, basic mechanics, resistance, resistivity, voltage, current and power, magnetism and electricity, electrical supply and distribution systems, effect on electrical circuits by different electrical properties, D.C. machines and A.C. motor, electrical components, electrical lighting systems, lighting calculations, electrical heating, electronic components.

These two exams, especially the written one, are considered to be the hardest exams of the whole qualification programme, since they are closed book exams.

The sample test bellow consists of 30 questions. Try to complete it without the aid of any materials and within 60 minutes.
