      Very large output resistance

    • B.

      Very small output resistance

    • C.

      Zero internal resistance

    • D.

      Infinite internal resistance

    Correct Answer
    C. Zero internal resistance
    Explanation
    An ideal power supply with zero internal resistance means that it can deliver the maximum amount of current to the load without any loss due to resistance within the power supply itself. This implies that the voltage at the output terminals will remain constant regardless of the current drawn by the load. In practical terms, this would mean that the power supply can provide a stable and consistent voltage to the connected devices, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.

      Twin-lead

    • B.

      Open-wire with ceramic supports

    • C.

      Coaxial Cable

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    C. Coaxial Cable
    Explanation
    Coaxial cable is the most commonly used transmission-line with television systems because it offers excellent signal quality and low signal loss. It consists of a central conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, a metallic shield, and an outer insulating layer. This design helps to minimize interference and maintain signal integrity over long distances. Coaxial cable is also easy to install and has a wide frequency range, making it suitable for transmitting high-quality video and audio signals. Twin-lead and open-wire with ceramic supports are less commonly used due to their higher susceptibility to interference and signal loss.

    Video signals have a frequency range that is spread over approximately

    • A.

      9 Octaves

    • B.

      18 Octaves

    • C.

      4 Octaves

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    C. 4 Octaves
    Explanation
    Video signals have a frequency range that is spread over approximately 4 Octaves. Octaves refer to a doubling or halving of frequency. In the case of video signals, the frequency range is spread over four octaves, meaning the highest frequency is approximately 16 times the lowest frequency. This wide frequency range allows for the transmission of visual information with a high level of detail and clarity.

    If the effective length of an antenna is increased, its directive gains

    • A.

      Becomes infinite

    • B.

      Remains same

    • C.

      Decreases

    • D.

      Increases

    Correct Answer
    C. Decreases
    Explanation
    When the effective length of an antenna is increased, its directive gain decreases. Directive gain refers to the ability of an antenna to focus its radiation in a particular direction. By increasing the length of the antenna, the radiation pattern becomes wider, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of energy in a specific direction. Therefore, the directive gain decreases as the effective length of the antenna increases.

    • D.

      Helical Antenna

    Correct Answer
    B. Isotropic Antenna
    Explanation
    An isotropic antenna is an antenna that radiates uniformly in all directions. It is a theoretical concept used as a reference for comparing the performance of other antennas. Unlike practical antennas, which have directional radiation patterns, an isotropic antenna radiates equally in all directions, making it an idealized model for theoretical calculations and analysis.

    Tuned voltage amplifiers are not used

    • A.

      Radio Receivers

    • B.

      In public address system

    • C.

      TV Recievers

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    B. In public address system
    Explanation
    Tuned voltage amplifiers are not used in public address systems. This is because public address systems typically require a wide frequency range to accommodate various types of audio signals. Tuned voltage amplifiers are designed to amplify a specific frequency or a narrow range of frequencies, making them less suitable for the diverse range of audio signals in a public address system. Instead, public address systems usually use wideband amplifiers that can amplify a wide range of frequencies accurately and efficiently.

     You can extend battery life by storing batteries at a low temperature.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Storing batteries at a low temperature can indeed extend their battery life. Cold temperatures slow down the chemical reactions that occur inside the battery, reducing the rate of self-discharge. This means that batteries stored in a cool environment will retain their charge for a longer period of time. However, it is important to note that extreme cold temperatures can also cause damage to the battery, so it is best to store them in a moderately cool environment.
