ECE :: Measurements and Instrumentation

  1. Assertion (A): CRO can be used to study waveshape accurately.

    Reason (R): Input impedance of a CRO is very high.

  2. A.
    Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
    B.
    Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
    C.
    A is true R is false
    D.
    A is false R is true

  3. LVDT is used to measure

  4. A.
    displacement
