Sample 1 — Wiring Methods and Materials
Question: What is the maximum number of No. 14 AWG conductors permitted in a 4 x 2-1/8 inch round or octagonal metal box?
- A. 7
- B. 10
- C. 12
- D. 15
Correct Answer: B
Per NEC Table 314.16(A), a 4 x 2-1/8 inch round or octagonal metal box has a minimum capacity of 21.5 cubic inches and permits a maximum of 10 No. 14 AWG conductors.
Reference: NEC 2017 Section 314.16(A), Table 314.16(A)
Sample 2 — Branch Circuits and Conductors
