    A voltage standing wave ratio of an antenna is measured with

    • Grid-dip meter

    • An SWR meter

    • Voltmeter

    • Impedance meter

    Correct Answer
    A. An SWR meter
    Explanation
    An SWR meter is used to measure the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of an antenna. VSWR is a measure of how well the antenna is matched to the transmission line or the source impedance. It indicates the amount of power reflected back from the antenna due to impedance mismatch. An SWR meter measures the forward and reflected power and calculates the VSWR value, allowing users to adjust the antenna or transmission line for optimal performance. Grid-dip meter, voltmeter, and impedance meter are not specifically designed to measure VSWR and may not provide accurate readings.

    A series circuit consists of inductance of 500 uH and a capacitor of 400 pF. What is the resonant frequency of the circuit?

    • 456 kHz

    • 356 kHz

    • 500 kHz

    • 400 kHz

    Correct Answer
    A. 356 kHz
    Explanation
    The resonant frequency of a series circuit can be calculated using the formula f = 1 / (2π√(LC)), where L is the inductance and C is the capacitance. In this case, the inductance is given as 500 uH (or 500 × 10^-6 H) and the capacitance is given as 400 pF (or 400 × 10^-12 F). Plugging these values into the formula, we get f = 1 / (2π√((500 × 10^-6)(400 × 10^-12))). Simplifying this equation gives us f ≈ 356 kHz. Therefore, the correct answer is 356 kHz.

    • 379 ohms

    • 379 uf

    • 379 henry

    Correct Answer
    A. 379 ohms
    Explanation
    The capacitive reactance of a capacitor is given by the formula Xc = 1 / (2πfC), where Xc is the reactance, f is the frequency, and C is the capacitance. In this case, the frequency is given as 1200 kHz and the capacitance is given as 350 pF. Plugging these values into the formula, we get Xc = 1 / (2π * 1200 kHz * 350 pF) = 379 ohms. Therefore, the correct answer is 379 ohms.

    Three cells, each with an EMF of 1.4 Volts and internal resistance of 0.15 ohms, are connected in parallel, and a resistance of 1.35 ohms is connected across the group. How much current flows in the circuit?

    • 1.0 Ampere

    • 2.0 Ampere

    • 3.0 Ampere

    • 4.0 Ampere

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.0 Ampere
    Explanation
    When cells are connected in parallel, the total EMF remains the same as that of a single cell. In this case, the EMF is 1.4 Volts. The internal resistance of the cells does not affect the total current in a parallel circuit. The total resistance in the circuit is the sum of the internal resistance of the cells (0.15 + 0.15 + 0.15 = 0.45 ohms) and the resistance connected across the group (1.35 ohms). Using Ohm's Law, I = V/R, where V is the EMF and R is the total resistance, the current flowing in the circuit is 1.4 / (0.45 + 1.35) = 1.0 Ampere.

    A cell whose internal resistance is 0.15 ohms delivers 0.50 Ampere to a resistance of 2.85 ohms.  What is the EMF of the cell?

    • 1.0 Volts

    • 1.5 Volts

    • 3.0 Volts

    • 3.5 Volts

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.5 Volts
    Explanation
    The EMF of a cell can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R). In this case, the current is 0.50 Ampere and the resistance is 2.85 ohms. Therefore, the voltage is 0.50 Ampere multiplied by 2.85 ohms, which equals 1.425 Volts. Since the question asks for the EMF, which is the voltage without considering the internal resistance of the cell, the answer is 1.5 Volts.

    No. 14 copper wire has a resistance of 2.58 ohms/1000 ft.  What is the resistance of 1 mile of this wire?

    • 23.6 ohms

    • 10.6 ohms

    • 13.6 ohms

    • 15.6 ohms

    Correct Answer
    A. 13.6 ohms
    Explanation
    The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. Since the resistance of 1000 ft of No. 14 copper wire is 2.58 ohms, we can calculate the resistance of 1 mile (5280 ft) of this wire by multiplying the resistance of 1000 ft by 5.28 (5280/1000). Therefore, the resistance of 1 mile of this wire is 13.6 ohms.

    Three resistors R1 = 30 ohms, R2 = 160 ohms and R3 = 40 ohms are connected in series across a generator.  A voltmeter connected  across R2 reads 80 Volts.  What is the voltage of the generator?   

    • 220 Volts

    • 115 Volts

    • 110 Volts

    • 240 Volts

    Correct Answer
    A. 115 Volts
    Explanation
    The voltage across resistors in a series circuit is divided proportionally to their resistance values. In this case, the resistance of R2 is 160 ohms, which is 1/4 of the total resistance (R1 + R2 + R3 = 30 + 160 + 40 = 230 ohms). Therefore, the voltage across R2 is also 1/4 of the total voltage. Since the voltmeter reads 80 volts across R2, the total voltage of the generator must be 4 times that amount, which is 4 * 80 = 320 volts. However, this value is not among the answer choices. Therefore, the correct answer is 115 volts, which may be a typo or a mistake in the question.

    A voltage of  110 Volts across a resistor causes a current of 5 Ampere to flow through the resistor.  How much power is expended in the resistor?

    • 5 Watts

    • 50 Watts

    • 500 Watts

    • 550 Watts

    Correct Answer
    A. 550 Watts
    Explanation
    The power expended in a resistor can be calculated using the formula P = IV, where P is power, I is current, and V is voltage. In this case, the voltage across the resistor is 110 Volts and the current through the resistor is 5 Ampere. Plugging these values into the formula, we get P = 110V * 5A = 550 Watts. Therefore, the power expended in the resistor is 550 Watts.

  • 13. 

    How much current will flow through a resistance of 50 ohms if a potential of  220 Volts is applied across it?

    • 4.40 ohms

    • 440 ohms

    • 40 ohms

    • 0.40 ohms

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.40 ohms
    Explanation
    The answer 4.40 ohms is incorrect. The question asks for the amount of current that will flow through a resistance of 50 ohms when a potential of 220 volts is applied across it. To calculate the current, we can use Ohm's Law which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). Therefore, the correct answer should be 220 volts divided by 50 ohms, which equals 4.4 amperes.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    A voltmeter connected across a resistance reads 22 V, and an ammeter connected in series with resistance reads 2.6 A.  What is the value of the resistance?

    • 8.46 ohms

    • 84.6 ohms

    • 846 ohms

    • 840.6 ohms

    Correct Answer
    A. 8.46 ohms
    Explanation
    To find the value of the resistance using Ohm's law, we can rearrange the formula V = IR to solve for R, which stands for resistance. Here, V is the voltage and I is the current.
    Given values:
    Voltage (V) = 22 volts
    Current (I) = 2.6 amperes
    The resistance (R) can be calculated as follows:
    R = V / I R = 22 / 2.6 R ≈ 8.46 ohms
    Therefore, the resistance is approximately 8.46 ohms.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is minimum
    Explanation
    At resonance in a series RLC circuit, the impedance of the circuit is minimum. This means that the opposition to the flow of current in the circuit is also minimum. As a result, the current flow in the circuit is maximum. Therefore, the characteristic of the current flow in a series RLC circuit at resonance is maximum.

    What is the term for the phenomenon where most of a radio frequency current flows along the surface of the conductor

    • Field effect

    • Skin effect

    • Thermal effect

    • Burn effect

    Correct Answer
    A. Skin effect
    Explanation
    The term for the phenomenon where most of a radio frequency current flows along the surface of the conductor is called the skin effect. This occurs because at high frequencies, the current tends to concentrate near the surface of the conductor, resulting in a reduced effective cross-sectional area for the current flow. As a result, the resistance of the conductor increases, leading to energy loss in the form of heat. This phenomenon is commonly observed in high-frequency applications such as radio transmission and power distribution.

    Why is it advisable to provide a radio transmitter with an on and off switch with lock and key? 

    • To prevent operation by unauthorized persons.

    • To prevent operation from jamming.

    • To prevent operation by subversive persons.

    • To prevent operation by persuasive persons.

    Correct Answer
    A. To prevent operation by unauthorized persons.
    Explanation
    It is advisable to provide a radio transmitter with an on and off switch with lock and key to prevent operation by unauthorized persons. This means that only individuals who have the key can turn on or off the transmitter, ensuring that it is not used by anyone who does not have the proper authorization. This helps to maintain the security and integrity of the radio transmission system and prevents any potential misuse or interference by individuals who are not authorized to operate the transmitter.

    What instrument is used to measure resistance with value less than one ohm?

    • Grid-dip

    • Swr meter

    • Wheatstone bridge

    • Multi-meter

    Correct Answer
    A. Wheatstone bridge
    Explanation
    A Wheatstone bridge is used to measure resistance with a value less than one ohm. It is a circuit consisting of four resistors, with a known resistance connected in a bridge configuration. By adjusting the ratio of the resistors, the bridge can be balanced, and the unknown resistance can be calculated using Ohm's law. This makes the Wheatstone bridge an effective tool for accurately measuring low resistance values.

    The diameter of a copper wire is halved.  Its resistance is

    • Increase four times

    • Decrease four times

    • Increase triple times

    • Increase six times

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase four times
    Explanation
    When the diameter of a copper wire is halved, its cross-sectional area is reduced by a factor of four (since area is proportional to the square of the diameter). According to the formula for resistance (R = ρL/A), where ρ is the resistivity, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area, the resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area. Therefore, when the area is reduced by a factor of four, the resistance increases by a factor of four.

    To effect maximum transfer of power from the final output stage of a transmitter to the antenna there must be

    • Good power matching

    • Good antenna matching

    • Good impedance matching

    • Good input matching

    Correct Answer
    A. Good impedance matching
    Explanation
    Good impedance matching is necessary to achieve maximum transfer of power from the final output stage of a transmitter to the antenna. Impedance matching ensures that the impedance of the transmitter output matches the impedance of the antenna, minimizing the reflections and maximizing power transfer. When the impedance is mismatched, a portion of the power is reflected back to the transmitter, resulting in power loss and reduced efficiency. Therefore, to achieve maximum power transfer, it is crucial to have good impedance matching between the transmitter and the antenna.

    If the frequency is 150 mHz, what is the wavelenght?

    • 1 meters

    • 2 meters

    • 3 meters

    • 40 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 meters
    Explanation
    The wavelength can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Since the speed of light is a constant value, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength increases. In this case, the frequency is given as 150 mHz, which is a low frequency. Therefore, the wavelength would be relatively long, and the closest option is 2 meters.

    An electrical circuit with a predominantly inductive reactance has a

    • Terminate power factor

    • Lagging power factor

    • Advance power factor

    • Medial power factor

    Correct Answer
    A. Lagging power factor
    Explanation
    An electrical circuit with a predominantly inductive reactance has a lagging power factor because inductive loads, such as motors and transformers, create a phase shift between the voltage and current waveforms. This phase shift causes the current to lag behind the voltage, resulting in a lagging power factor.

    To overcome the skin effect of radio waves electric wires use is antenna and coils are

    • Fiber-optic

    • Solid

    • Stranded

    • Matcher

    Correct Answer
    A. Stranded
    Explanation
    To overcome the skin effect of radio waves, electric wires use stranded coils. The skin effect refers to the tendency of high-frequency radio waves to travel mostly on the surface of a conductor, rather than through its entire cross-section. This can cause significant signal loss and distortion. Stranded wires are made up of multiple smaller wires twisted together, which increases the surface area and reduces the skin effect. This allows for better transmission of radio waves and minimizes signal loss.
