question 8 of 73
in which of the following situations should you not use an esd wrist strap?
○ when replacing memory modules.
○ when wearing jewelry.
○ when working with high-voltage components.
○ when replacing worn or frayed power cords.
□ i want to review this question later. (optional)

Explanation:

An ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist - strap is used to prevent electrostatic discharge that can damage electronic components. When working with high - voltage components, using an ESD wrist - strap can be dangerous as it can conduct the high voltage to the person, posing a risk of electric shock. Replacing memory modules (which are sensitive to ESD) and replacing worn or frayed power cords (while handling electronics, ESD protection may be needed) can benefit from ESD wrist - strap use. Wearing jewelry is not a direct reason to not use an ESD wrist - strap, but working with high - voltage components is a clear situation where ESD wrist - strap should not be used.

Answer:

C. When working with high - voltage components.
