About the Test

The questions are intermediate level and prepared considering the scenario and applications of electrical engineering.

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the design, development, and application of electrical systems, equipment, and devices. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of technologies and systems, including power generation and distribution, electrical and electronic circuits, control systems, and communication systems.

Electrical engineers use principles of electricity, electromagnetism, and electronics to solve problems and create innovative solutions. They may work on projects related to the transmission and distribution of electricity, the design and development of electrical equipment and devices, the control and automation of systems, or the communication and processing of information.

This test can help in determining the subject-wise knowledge of the person in electrical engineering.

Customer Satisfaction

Testlify helps you identify the best talent from anywhere in the world, with a seamless experience that candidates and hiring teams love every step of the way.

1

DC machines

DC machines are electrical machines that operate on direct current (DC) electricity. DC machines include generators, which convert mechanical energy into DC electricity, and motors, which convert DC electricity into mechanical energy. DC machines are used in a variety of applications, including power generation, transportation, and manufacturing.

2

Power System

Power systems refer to the infrastructure and equipment that generate, transmit, and distribute electricity. Power systems include power plants, transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks.

3

Analog Electronics

Analog electronics is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with the design and operation of electronic systems that use continuous, or analog, signals. Analog electronics includes the use of components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors to manipulate electrical signals, and the use of analog-to-digital converters to convert analog signals into digital form.

4

Digital Electronics

Digital electronics is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with the design and operation of electronic systems that use discrete, or digital, signals. Digital electronics includes the use of digital logic gates, flip-flops, and other digital components to process and transmit information, as well as the use of digital-to-analog converters to convert digital signals into analog form. Digital electronics plays a central role in the design and operation of computers and other digital devices.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
