2) Does not allow reverse leakage current to flow through the meter during negative half cycle.
3) Short circuits the meter during negative half cycle.
Which of these statements are correct?

Question 4

When a sinusoidal signal of 220 V, 50 Hz on CRO produces a vertical deflection of 2 cm at a particular setting of the vertical gain control, what would be the value of the voltage to be applied to produce a deflection of 3 cm for the same vertical gain?

Question 5

A meter measures a known voltage of 100 A. The values for the five readings were indicated as: 105, 104, 105, 106, 104. Which of the following statement is true for the meter?

Question 6

The readings given below were obtained during the measurement of a low resistance using a potentiometer: Voltage drop across a 0.3 Ω standard resistance = 1.0567 V Voltage drop across the low resistance under test = 0.2305 V Calculate the value of unknown resistance, current and power loss in it.

Question 7

A shunt-type ohmmeter uses a 3-mA basic d’Arsonval movement with an internal resistance of 20 Ω. The battery emf is 3 V. Calculate A. value of the resistor in series with the battery to adjust the FSD, and (b) at what point (percentage) of full-scale will 80 Ω be marked on the scale?
