A sinusoidal signal is measured by CRO. The scale is set at 4 mV/cm. If vertical distance between positive and negative peaks is 6 cm, the peak value of ac signal is
A:
6 mV
B:
12 mV
C:
24 mV
D:
3 mV
Answer: B

, Peak to peak value will be 24 mV.

It is necessary to measure the amplitudes of two signals and also the phase difference between them. This can be done by using a
A:
phase meter
B:
waveform meter
C:
vector voltmeter
D:
digital voltmeter
Answer: B

A waveform meter is suitable to study amplitudes, phase angles etc. of different waveforms.

Which of the following does not use the principle of change in inductance?
A:
LVDT
B:
Inductance displacement transducer
C:
Strain gauge
D:
Reluctance pick up
Answer: C

In strain gauge change in resistance occurs.

The function of shunt in an ammeter is to
A:
by pass the current
B:
increase sensitivity of meter
C:
increase resistance of meter
D:
all of the above
Answer: A

It bypasses a major portion of circuit current so that only the rated current of meter can flow through the meter.

Two resistance R1 and R2 are connected in series R1 = 528 ± 5 Ω and R2 = 325 ± 3Ω. The total resistance will be
A:
853 ± 2 Ω
B:
853 ± 5 Ω
C:
853 ± 3 Ω
D:
853 ± 8 Ω
Answer: D

Both errors can be positive or negative simultaneously.

Hence 853 ± 8 Ω.
