A-003-06: Meters, multimeter, power meter

A-003-06-01: A meter has a full-scale deflection of 40 microamps and an internal resistance of 96 ohms. You want it to read 0 to 1 mA. The value of the shunt to be used is:

4 ohms

24 ohms

16 ohms

40 ohms



A-003-06-02: A moving-coil milliammeter having a full-scale deflection of 1 mA and an internal resistance of 0.5 ohms is to be converted to a voltmeter of 20 volts full-scale deflection. It would be necessary to insert a:

series resistance of 19 999.5 ohms

series resistance of 1 999.5 ohms

shunt resistance of 19 999.5 ohms

shunt resistance of 19.5 ohms



A-003-06-03: A voltmeter having a range of 150 volts and an internal resistance of 150 000 ohms is to be extended to read 750 volts. The required multiplier resistor would have a value of:

600 000 ohms

1 500 ohms

750 000 ohms

1 200 000 ohms



A-003-06-04: The sensitivity of an ammeter is an expression of:

the amount of current causing full-scale deflection

the resistance of the meter

the loading effect the meter will have on a circuit

the value of the shunt resistor



A-003-06-05: Voltmeter sensitivity is usually expressed in ohms per volt. This means that a voltmeter with a sensitivity of 20 kilohms per volt would be a:

50 microampere meter

1 milliampere meter

50 milliampere meter

100 milliampere meter



A-003-06-06: The sensitivity of a voltmeter, whose resistance is 150 000 ohms on the 150-volt range, is:

1000 ohms per volt

100 000 ohms per volt

10 000 ohms per volt

150 ohms per volt



A-003-06-07: The range of a DC ammeter can easily be extended by:

connecting an external resistance in parallel with the internal resistance

connecting an external resistance in series with the internal resistance

changing the internal inductance of the meter

changing the internal capacitance of the meter to resonance



A-003-06-08: What happens inside a multimeter when you switch it from a lower to a higher voltage range?

Resistance is added in series with the meter

Resistance is reduced in series with the meter

Resistance is reduced in parallel with the meter

Resistance is added in parallel with the meter



A-003-06-09: How can the range of an ammeter be increased?

By adding resistance in parallel with the meter

By adding resistance in series with the circuit under test

By adding resistance in parallel with the circuit under test

By adding resistance in series with the meter



A-003-06-10: Where should an RF wattmeter be connected for the most accurate readings of transmitter output power?

At the transmitter output connector

One-half wavelength from the transmitter output

One-half wavelength from the antenna feed point

At the antenna feed point



A-003-06-11: At what line impedance do most RF wattmeters usually operate?

50 ohms

25 ohms

100 ohms

300 ohms
