An atom with eight electrons in its outermost shell is said to be
- A.
Free
- B.
Stable
- C.
Valence
- D.
Ionized
Correct Answer
B. StableExplanation
An atom with eight electrons in its outermost shell is said to be stable. This is because the outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, is considered complete when it contains eight electrons. This configuration is known as the octet rule and is commonly observed in noble gases, which have full outer shells and are therefore very stable. In contrast, atoms with fewer or more than eight electrons in their outermost shell tend to be reactive and less stable, as they seek to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Voltage selectorExplanation
The voltage selector is used to set the value of the height of the oscilloscope grid markings. By adjusting the voltage selector, you can control the vertical position of the waveform being displayed on the oscilloscope screen. This allows you to accurately measure and analyze the voltage levels of the signal being observed. The focus control is used to adjust the sharpness and clarity of the waveform, while the pitch control is used to adjust the horizontal position of the waveform. The time sweep selector is used to control the speed at which the waveform is displayed on the screen.Rate this question:

To ensure accuracy of the oscilloscope when preparing for operation, you should always
- A.
Zero the display
- B.
Center the display
- C.
Identify the cal point and adjust to zero
- D.
Identify the cal point and calibrate the display
Correct Answer
D. Identify the cal point and calibrate the displayExplanation
To ensure accuracy of the oscilloscope, it is important to identify the calibration point, which is a known reference signal, and then calibrate the display accordingly. This process helps to align the measurements on the oscilloscope with the actual values of the signals being measured. Zeroing the display and centering the display are not sufficient for accurate operation, as they do not involve calibration. Hence, the correct answer is to identify the cal point and calibrate the display.Rate this question:

When you are testing a transformer, an open coil reading on the 8025A multimeter will be indicated by
- A.
A beep
- B.
An extending analog bar graph
- C.
OL
- D.
0 ohms
Correct Answer
C. OLExplanation
When testing a transformer, an open coil reading on the 8025A multimeter will be indicated by "OL" which stands for "Open Loop". This means that there is no continuity or connection in the coil, indicating that the coil is open or broken. This reading suggests that there is a fault in the transformer and it needs to be repaired or replaced.Rate this question:
