TO ALL VECs: Removal of Question G0B14
from the General Exam Pool
It has been brought to the attention of the QPC that there is an
error in the correct answer for question G0B14. Units of
microamps were used instead of milliamps as intended. This
question is hereby withdrawn.
The recent guidelines from the NCVEC to the QPC concerning
withdrawal of questions is as follows:
5.9 Question Deletion After Pool Release:
When there is a need to delete any question
from a question pool after release, a 90 day prior public notice
shall be made by the QPC before the question is mandated for
removal from use in VEC examinations, however the QPC shall
encourage the question is to be removed as soon as possible.
We are taking steps to make the public notice. In the meantime,
we strongly recommend that the VEC's stop using this question as
soon as possible, because it is apparently promulgating incorrect
safety information.
The question, for reference, is:
G0B14 (B)
What is the maximum amount of electrical current flow through the
human body that can be tolerated safely?
A. 5 microamperes
B. 50 microamperes
C. 500 milliamperes
D. 5 amperes
