Question: What is a fundamental wiring difference between Class A and Class B circuits?

Answer options:

  • Class A uses two EOL resistors. ✅ Class A returns to the control unit; Class B ends at an EOL resistor.
  • Class B is more expensive than Class A.
  • Class B can survive a wire break better than Class A.

Correct answer: Class A returns to the control unit; Class B ends at an EOL resistor.

Explanation: A Class A circuit does not use an EOL resistor because the 'return' to the panel provides the electrical continuity check. The panel sends a signal out both sides or monitors the loop return.
