cause the blades to appear to move (a) in
what relative direction and (b) at what
speed?
1. (a) Forward
(b) 5 rpm
2. (a) Forward
(b) 10 rpm
3. (a) Backward
(b) 10 rpm
4. (a) Backward
(b) 5 rpm
1-55. The flashing rate of a strobotac is
controlled by which of the following
circuits?
1. An electronic pulse generator
2. A frequency divider
3. A power supply
4. An amplifier
1-56. The flashing rate of the strobotron tube
affects its life expectancy. What is the
range (in hours) of life expectancy of the
strobotron tube?
1. 15 to 24
2. 25 to 49
3. 50 to 99
4. 100 to 250
1-57. The vibrating-reed frequency meter is a
delicate instrument and should not be
subjected to vibrations, such as those
associated with motor-generators or their
associated control panels.
1. True
2. False
1-58. When using the vibrating-reed frequency
meter, you take the reading in which of
the following ways?
1. Read the digital readout
2. Read the dial indication
3. Read the mechanical setting
4. Read the reed that vibrates the most
1-59. Bandpass filters and band reject filters
are tuned circuits that either pass or reject
specific frequencies. In these filters, (a)
what type offers very high impedance to
currents at its resonant frequency, and (b)
what type offers a very low impedance to
currents at its resonant frequency?
1. (a) Parallel-tuned (b) series-tuned
2. (a) Parallel-tuned (b) parallel-tuned
3. (a) Series-tuned
(b) parallel-tuned
4. (a) Series-tuned
(b) series-tuned
1-60. When you are zero beating an unknown
frequency with a frequency provided by
a calibrated, high-precision oscillator
within a heterodyne frequency meter,
what will be the indication when the two
frequencies are matched?
1. One dot of light on the screen will be
superimposed on the other
2. One vertical line on the screen will be
superimposed on the other
3. The two tones in the headset will
achieve the same pitch, at which time
a series of clicks will begin
4. The tone in the headset will decrease
in pitch and be replaced by clicks that
will become slow or nonexistent
