Section T4C

T4C  Meters and their placement in circuits, including volt, amp,

multi, peak-reading and RF watt; ratings of fuses and switches

 

T4C01 @T4B01

How is a voltmeter usually connected to a circuit under test?

A.  In series with the circuit

B.  In parallel with the circuit

C.  In quadrature with the circuit

D.  In phase with the circuit

 

T4C02 @T4B02

How is an ammeter usually connected to a circuit under test?

A.  In series with the circuit

B.  In parallel with the circuit

C.  In quadrature with the circuit

D.  In phase with the circuit

 

T4C03 @T4B03

Where should an RF wattmeter be connected for the most accurate

readings of transmitter output power?

A.  At the transmitter output connector

B.  At the antenna feed point

C.  One-half wavelength from the transmitter output

D.  One-half wavelength from the antenna feed point

 

T4C04 @T4B07

For which measurements would you normally use a multimeter?

A.  SWR and power

B.  Resistance, capacitance and inductance

C.  Resistance and reactance

D.  Voltage, current and resistance

 

T4C05 @T4B08

What might happen if you switch a multimeter to measure resistance

while you have it connected to measure voltage?

A.  The multimeter would read half the actual voltage

B.  It would probably destroy the meter circuitry

C.  The multimeter would read twice the actual voltage

D.  Nothing unusual would happen; the multimeter would measure the

circuit's resistance

 

T4C06 @T4B09

If you switch a multimeter to read microamps and connect it into a

circuit drawing 5 amps, what might happen?

A.  The multimeter would read half the actual current

B.  The multimeter would read twice the actual current

C.  It would probably destroy the meter circuitry

D.  The multimeter would read a very small value of current

 

T4C07 @T4B10

At what line impedance do most RF watt meters usually operate?

A.  25 ohms

B.  50 ohms

C.  100 ohms

D.  300 ohms

 

T4C08 @T4B11

What does a directional wattmeter measure?

A.  Forward and reflected power

B.  The directional pattern of an antenna

C.  The energy used by a transmitter

D.  Thermal heating in a load resistor

 

T4C09 @T4B12

If a directional RF wattmeter reads 90 watts forward power and 10

watts reflected power, what is the actual transmitter output power?

A.  10 watts

B.  80 watts

C.  90 watts

D.  100 watts

 

T4C10 @T4B14

Why might you use a peak-reading RF wattmeter at your station?

A.  To make sure your transmitter's output power is not higher than

that authorized by your license class

B.  To make sure your transmitter is not drawing too much power from

the AC line

C.  To make sure all your transmitter's power is being radiated by

your antenna

D.  To measure transmitter input and output power at the same time

 

T4C11 @T4B15

What could happen to your transceiver if you replace its blown 5 amp

AC line fuse with a 30 amp fuse?

A.  The 30-amp fuse would better protect your transceiver from using

too much current

B.  The transceiver would run cooler

C.  The transceiver could use more current than 5 amps and a fire

could occur

D.  The transceiver would not be able to produce as much RF output
