Q8

A wrist grounding strap contains which of the following:

A.
Surge protector
B.
Capacitor
C.
Voltmeter
D.
Resistor
Answer
E.
None of the above

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
A wrist grounding strap contains a resistor.
The purpose of a wrist grounding strap is to prevent the buildup of static electricity on the body and discharge it safely to ground.
The resistor in the grounding strap ensures that the discharge is gradual, preventing sudden surges of static electricity that could damage electronic components.
Surge protectors, capacitors, and voltmeters are not typically components of a wrist grounding strap.
Therefore, the correct option is resistor.
