and currents; SWR meaning and measurements; SWR meters

 

T4B01 @T4A01

Where should the green wire in a three-wire AC line cord be connected

in a power supply?

A.  To the fuse

B.  To the "hot" side of the power switch

C.  To the chassis

D.  To the white wire

 

T4B02 @T4A10

What is the minimum voltage that is usually dangerous to humans?

A.  30 volts

B.  100 volts

C.  1000 volts

D.  2000 volts

 

T4B03 @T4A14

How much electrical current flowing through the human body will

probably be fatal?

A.  As little as 1/10 of an ampere

B.  Approximately 10 amperes

C.  More than 20 amperes

D.  Current through the human body is never fatal

 

T4B04 @T4A15

Which body organ can be fatally affected by a very small amount of

electrical current?

A.  The heart

B.  The brain

C.  The liver

D.  The lungs

 

T4B05 @N4C02

What does an SWR reading of less than 1.5:1 mean?

A.  An impedance match that is too low

B.  An impedance mismatch; something may be wrong with the antenna

system

C.  A fairly good impedance match

D.  An antenna gain of 1.5

 

T4B06 @N4C05

What does a very high SWR reading mean?

A.  The antenna is the wrong length, or there may be an open or

shorted connection somewhere in the feed line

B.  The signals coming from the antenna are unusually strong, which

means very good radio conditions

C.  The transmitter is putting out more power than normal, showing

that it is about to go bad

D.  There is a large amount of solar radiation, which means very poor

radio conditions

 

T4B07 @N4C06

If an SWR reading at the low frequency end of an amateur band is

2.5:1, increasing to 5:1 at the high frequency end of the same band,

what does this tell you about your 1/2-wavelength dipole antenna?

A.  The antenna is broadbanded

B.  The antenna is too long for operation on the band

C.  The antenna is too short for operation on the band

D.  The antenna is just right for operation on the band

 

T4B08 @N4C07

If an SWR reading at the low frequency end of an amateur band is 5:1,

decreasing to 2.5:1 at the high frequency end of the same band, what

does this tell you about your 1/2-wavelength dipole antenna?

A.  The antenna is broadbanded

B.  The antenna is too long for operation on the band

C.  The antenna is too short for operation on the band

D.  The antenna is just right for operation on the band

 

T4B09 @N4C10

What instrument is used to measure the relative impedance match

between an antenna and its feed line?

A.  An ammeter

B.  An ohmmeter

C.  A voltmeter

D.  An SWR meter

 

T4B10 @T4C09

If you use an SWR meter designed to operate on 3-30 MHz for VHF

measurements, how accurate will its readings be?

A.  They will not be accurate

B.  They will be accurate enough to get by

C.  If it properly calibrates to full scale in the set position, they

may be accurate

D.  They will be accurate providing the readings are multiplied by 4.5

 

T4B11 @N4C01

What does an SWR reading of 1:1 mean?

A.  An antenna for another frequency band is probably connected

B.  The best impedance match has been attained

C.  No power is going to the antenna

D.  The SWR meter is broken
