Which of these activities would generate the most electrostatic voltage?
-
Working at a bench.
-
Walking across carpet.
-
Walking across a vinyl floor.
-
Picking up a common plastic bag.
Correct Answer
A. Walking across carpet.Explanation
Walking across carpet generates the most electrostatic voltage because carpets tend to build up a large amount of static electricity due to friction. As a person walks across the carpet, their body picks up electrons from the carpet, creating a charge imbalance. This charge imbalance results in a high voltage difference, or electrostatic voltage. Walking across a vinyl floor or picking up a common plastic bag may also generate some electrostatic voltage, but it would be lower compared to walking across carpet. Working at a bench is not mentioned to generate any electrostatic voltage in the given options.Rate this question:

-
Plasma; antennas and bore site feedhorns.
-
Secondary; cables and ground wires.
-
Source; cables and ground wires.
Correct Answer
A. Radiated; antennas and bore site feedhorns.Explanation
The correct answer is "Radiated; antennas and bore site feedhorns." In an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event, the radiated source region produces a primarily vertical electric field. This means that the electric field is oriented in a vertical direction. As a result, antennas and bore site feedhorns, which are components used in communication systems, are affected by this vertical electric field. The EMP can induce high voltages and currents in these structures, potentially damaging or disrupting their functionality.Rate this question:

Little or no variations in the strength of the interfering signal when moving the receiving antenna for short distance normally indicates
-
Enemy jamming.
-
Internal interference.
-
Radio receiver trouble.
-
Unintentional interference.
Correct Answer
A. Enemy jamming.Explanation
Little or no variations in the strength of the interfering signal when moving the receiving antenna for a short distance normally indicates enemy jamming. This means that regardless of the antenna's location, the interfering signal remains consistently strong, suggesting intentional interference by an adversary. This is in contrast to internal interference, which would typically fluctuate depending on the antenna's position. Radio receiver trouble would cause issues with the reception itself, rather than a consistent interfering signal. Unintentional interference would likely vary in strength as the antenna is moved.Rate this question:

- 8.
What type of equipment often generates many spurious emissions?
-
Slow tuning receiver.
-
Rapid tuning receiver.
-
Slow tuning transmitter.
-
Rapid tuning transmitter.
Correct Answer
A. Rapid tuning transmitter.Explanation
A rapid tuning transmitter often generates many spurious emissions. Spurious emissions refer to unwanted signals that are unintentionally generated by a transmitter and can interfere with other electronic equipment or communication systems. The rapid tuning capability of a transmitter allows it to quickly change frequencies, but this can also result in the generation of unwanted emissions. In contrast, a slow tuning transmitter would take more time to change frequencies and is less likely to produce as many spurious emissions.Rate this question:

What plays a major role in a conductor’s ability to minimizing compromising emanations?
-
Distance and angles.
-
Distance and separation.
-
Induction and grounding.
-
Induction and impedance.
Correct Answer
A. Distance and angles.Explanation
The ability to minimize compromising emanations in a conductor is influenced by the distance and angles. By increasing the distance between conductors, the electromagnetic fields generated by each conductor will have less interaction, reducing the chances of compromising emanations. Additionally, the angles at which the conductors are placed can also affect the electromagnetic fields and their interactions. Properly positioning the conductors at specific angles can help minimize compromising emanations.Rate this question:

What secondary cell is prone to the memory effect?
-
Nickel cadmium.
-
Carbon zinc.
-
Lead-acid.
-
Lithium.
Correct Answer
A. Nickel cadmium.Explanation
Nickel cadmium (NiCd) is the secondary cell that is prone to the memory effect. The memory effect is a phenomenon where the battery "remembers" the shorter discharge cycles and loses its capacity to deliver full charge. This occurs when the battery is repeatedly charged and discharged without being fully discharged. NiCd batteries are particularly susceptible to this effect, which can result in reduced battery capacity and overall performance. Carbon zinc, lead-acid, and lithium batteries do not exhibit the memory effect to the same extent as NiCd batteries.Rate this question:
