In a permanent magnet moving coil, the pointer is returned to its original position by ___________.
- A.
The use of a hairspring.
- B.
Adding an opposing magnet.
- C.
Adjusting the "zero-knob"
Correct Answer
A. The use of a hairspring.Explanation
The pointer in a permanent magnet moving coil is returned to its original position by the use of a hairspring. A hairspring is a thin, coiled strip of metal that provides a restoring force to bring the pointer back to its starting position after it has been deflected. This ensures that the pointer always returns to zero when there is no current flowing through the coil.Rate this question:

What type of meter uses the principle of magnetic repulsion between like poles?
- A.
D'Arsonval Movement
- B.
Moving-vane Meter Movement
- C.
Permanent Magnet Moving-Coil Movement
Correct Answer
B. Moving-vane Meter MovementExplanation
The moving-vane meter movement uses the principle of magnetic repulsion between like poles. In this type of meter, a vane is suspended between two magnets, and when a current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field of the magnets. The like poles repel each other, causing the vane to move. By measuring the deflection of the vane, the current can be determined.Rate this question:

An ammeter must never be connected ________ the power supply.
- A.
In series with
- B.
In parallel with
- C.
Opposite the
Correct Answer
B. In parallel withExplanation
An ammeter must never be connected in parallel with the power supply because it will result in a short circuit. Connecting the ammeter in parallel would create a low-resistance path for the current to bypass the intended circuit, causing an excessive current flow that could damage the ammeter and potentially other components in the circuit. Therefore, it is important to always connect the ammeter in series with the circuit to accurately measure the current flowing through it.Rate this question:

- C.
Shunt resistor, parallel
Correct Answer
C. Shunt resistor, parallelExplanation
If the range of current to be measured is greater than the full scale current of the meter, a shunt resistor must be installed in parallel with the meter. This is because a shunt resistor provides an alternate path for the excess current to flow, allowing only the desired current to pass through the meter. Installing the shunt resistor in parallel ensures that the current is divided between the meter and the shunt resistor, allowing accurate measurement of the higher current range.Rate this question:

When using an ohmmeter, the needle pointer will deflect to what direction if it reads high resistance?
- A.
To the right.
- B.
To the left.
- C.
Will not move.
Correct Answer
C. Will not move.Explanation
When using an ohmmeter, the needle pointer will not move if it reads high resistance. This is because high resistance indicates a lack of continuity in the circuit, meaning that there is little to no current flowing through it. As a result, the needle pointer remains stationary, indicating that there is no path for the current to flow and complete the circuit.Rate this question:

What is the purpose of the mirror on the scale of an analogue meter?
- A.
To remove parallax error.
- B.
To make it easier to read the value.
- C.
To see if the pointer is moving to the right direction.
Correct Answer
A. To remove parallax error.Explanation
The purpose of the mirror on the scale of an analogue meter is to remove parallax error. Parallax error occurs when the observer's line of sight is not directly perpendicular to the scale, causing the pointer to appear at a different position than it actually is. By using a mirror, the observer can align their line of sight with the reflection of the pointer, eliminating parallax error and allowing for more accurate readings.Rate this question:

Which of the following is true about an ohmmeter?
- A.
Connect the ohmmeter in series to measure the resistance.
- B.
Full scale deflection reads minimum resistance.
- C.
Measure resistance in an energized or de-energized ciruits.
Correct Answer
B. Full scale deflection reads minimum resistance.Explanation
An ohmmeter is a device used to measure electrical resistance. When using an ohmmeter, it should be connected in series with the component or circuit being measured. The full scale deflection of an ohmmeter occurs when the resistance being measured is at its minimum value. This means that when the needle of the ohmmeter reaches the maximum position on the scale, it indicates that the resistance being measured is at its lowest possible value. Therefore, the statement "Full scale deflection reads minimum resistance" is true about an ohmmeter.Rate this question:

An ohmmeter with sensitivity of 10,000 per volt means that
- A.
1000 ohms resistance is needed to 1 milliamp of current at FSD
- B.
1 ohm resistance is needed to 1 milliamp of current at FSD
- C.
100 ohms resistance is needde to 1 milliamp of current at FSD
Correct Answer
A. 1000 ohms resistance is needed to 1 milliamp of current at FSDExplanation
An ohmmeter with a sensitivity of 10,000 per volt means that for every volt applied, the ohmmeter will read 10,000 ohms. Therefore, if 1 milliamp of current is applied at full scale deflection (FSD), the ohmmeter will read 10,000 ohms. So, 1000 ohms resistance is needed to produce 1 milliamp of current at FSD.Rate this question:

When testing for insulation resistance, it is necessary to test at a voltage approximately
- A.
1.5 times the operating voltage
- B.

- C.
0.5 times the operating voltage
Correct Answer
A. 1.5 times the operating voltageExplanation
When testing for insulation resistance, it is necessary to test at a voltage approximately 1.5 times the operating voltage. This is because testing at a higher voltage helps to ensure that the insulation can withstand the normal operating voltage without any breakdown or failure. By testing at a higher voltage, any potential weak points or defects in the insulation can be identified and addressed before they cause any issues during normal operation. Therefore, testing at 1.5 times the operating voltage provides a margin of safety and helps to ensure the reliability and performance of the insulation.Rate this question:

What device is used to attenuate a signal without distorting the waveform?
- A.
Amplifier
- B.
Attenuator
- C.

Correct Answer
B. AttenuatorExplanation
An attenuator is a device used to reduce the amplitude of a signal without distorting its waveform. It is commonly used in audio and telecommunications systems to control signal levels and prevent overloading of downstream components. Unlike an amplifier, which increases the signal strength, an attenuator decreases the signal power while maintaining the shape and characteristics of the original waveform. This allows for precise control and adjustment of signal levels without introducing any distortion or unwanted artifacts. Therefore, an attenuator is the correct device for attenuating a signal without distorting the waveform.Rate this question:
