  1. Assertion (A): If the resistance of shunt of an ammeter is increased, the range of ammeter is reduced.

    Reason (R): If the series resistance of a voltmeter is increased, the range of voltmeter is increased.

  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. Two sinusoidal signals of equal amplitude and frequency are applied to X and Y plate of CRO respectively. The observed Lissajous pattern is a straight line. The phase shift between signals is

  4. A.
    zero
    B.
    90°
    C.
    either zero or 180°
    D.
    either 90° or 270°

  5. The scale of a dynamometer is linear when used as

  6. A.
    ammeter
    B.
    voltmeter
    C.
    wattmeter
    D.
    both (a) and (c)

  7. Three phase four wire induction energy meter is used to measure

  8. A.
    energy in 3 phase balanced star load
    B.
    energy in 3 phase balanced delta load
    C.

    pure metals
    B.
    pure insulators
    C.
    tintered mixture of metallic oxides
    D.
    pure semiconductors

  11. An induction wattmeter can be used for ac only.

  12. A.
    True
    B.
    False

  13. To measure a resistance of about 8 ohms we should use

  14. A.
    Kelvin's double bridge
    B.
    Wheatstone bridge
    C.
    Meggar
    D.
    Either (b) or (c)

  15. For measuring temperatures below 800°C with high accuracy, the best instrument is

  18. A.
    True
    B.
    False

  19. Assertion (A): Many instruments use eddy current damping.

    Reason (R): Eddy currents set up a magnetic flux which opposes the original movement which generates them.
