Electrical Measurement and Instrumentation MCQ

A moving iron ammeter coil has few turns of thick wire in order to have Low resistance and large current carrying
capacity.
Set of torques is provided in deflection galvanometer Deflecting, controlling and damping.
Not an absolute instrument D'Arsonval galvanometer.
Voltmeter should be of very high resistance so that It may draw current minimum possible.
The internal resistance for milli ammeter must be very low for Minimum voltage drop across the meter.
Swamping of resistance is used to compensate error due to Temperature variations.
Instrument can be used for both ac and dc Moving-iron type.
Electrostatic instruments are mainly employed to measure High voltages.
Uniformity in the scale of an ammeter indicates that it is PMMC type.
A Dynamometer type wattmeter responds to the Average value of the active power.
Anderson bridge is used to measure of Inductance.
Campbell's bridge method is used to measure Iron loss.
A thermo-couple instrument can be used for the measurement of Both direct current and alternating current.
Electrostatic type instruments are mainly used for measurement of High voltages.
The instrument which is cheapest for dc measurement is Moving iron.
Measurement range of a voltmeter can be extended by using High series resistance.
Which of the following voltmeter have least power consumption Electrostatic.
Which of the following instruments have least torque/weight ratio Dynamometer type.
The instrument having its deflection depends upon average value is Rectifier type.
Which of the following instruments can be used for full scale deflection of 300 o: Induction type.
While testing cables the galvanometer used should be initially short-circuited in order to protect it from sudden initial
inrush currents as the cable have A high value of initial capacitance.
A Ohmmeter is basically A ammeter.
A megger indicates infinity when test terminals are open-circuited. This is because No current flows through the
current coil.
Potentiometer is an __ instrument Comparison.
Which of the following bridge is frequency sensitive Anderson bridge.
Tesla coil is a ___ transformer High frequency resonant.
Direct current is preferred over alternating current for testing of ac transmission lines and cables because Heavy
charging currents will be drawn and so a large sized transformer is required if tested with ac.
