C. impedance
D. either (a) or (b)
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: voltage
Explanation:
The measurement is done using an unbalanced bridge.
6. Which of the following voltmeters would you use for measuring voltage across 20 k? resistance?
Options
A. Voltmeter having a resistance of 5 k?
B. Voltmeter having a sensitivity of 1 kW/V
C. Voltmeter having sensitivity of 10 kW/V
D. None of the above
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: Voltmeter having sensitivity of 10 kW/V
Explanation:
Resistance of voltmeter should be very high as compared to 20 k?.
7. Potentiometer method of dc voltage measurement is more accurate than direct measurement using a voltmeter because
Options
A. it loads the circuit to maximum extent
B. it loads the circuit moderately
C. it does not load the circuit at all
D. it uses centre zero galvanometer instead of Voltmeters
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: it does not load the circuit at all
Explanation:
Since the circuit is not loaded, the accurate value of dc voltage is measured.
8. In a thermocouple temperature transducer, the output voltage is usually measured by
Options
A. high resistance ammeter
B. high resistance voltmeter
C. high resistance milli-voltmeter
D. none of the above
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: high resistance milli-voltmeter
Explanation:
The output voltage is very small. So we need a milli voltmeter.

A. voltage controlled oscillator
B. D/A converter
C. power amplifier
D. operational amplifier
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: D/A converter
Explanation:
D/A converter changes digital output to analog output.
10.
