Question 172Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is A) wind the tape so that each turn overlaps the turn before it. This is the proper way to apply plastic electrical tape to an electric cable splice because it creates a water-resistant seal by overlapping the layers of tape. Each subsequent turn of tape should overlap the previous turn by at least 50% to ensure a complete and secure wrap. The overlapping layers help prevent moisture, dirt, and other contaminants from entering the splice. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not create the necessary water-resistant seal (B and C) or use an improper application method (D).
