Correct Answer: due to step-up and step-down transformers reducing I2R losses
Correct Answer: wavelength
Correct Answer: a function generator
Correct Answer: frequency meter or counter
Correct Answer: volts/cm control
Correct Answer: 100 kHz
Correct Answer: time/cm to a higher setting
Correct Answer: 57 mA
Correct Answer: 451.0 mV
Explanation:
Some AC Voltage Conversion:
Peak to rms: multiply peak by 0.707.
Peak to average: multiply peak by 0.637.
Rms to peak: multiply rms by 1.414.
Rms to average: multiply rms by 0.9.
Average to rms: multiply avg by 1.111.
Average to peak: multiply avg by 1.567.
Mostly voltmeter shows rms value. So, Vav = 0.9*Vrms
= 0.9*500.
= 450mV ~ [D] 451 mV.
Correct Answer: root mean square
