2-40. It is difficult to measure resistances less
than 1 ohm with a bridge because of
which of the following factors?
1. Contact resistance is present between
the resistor being measured and the
binding posts of the bridge
2. Excessive supply voltage is required
to excite the galvanometer
3. The frequency of the excitation
source creates excessive skin currents
in the resistor under test
4. The excitation voltage causes low-
value resistors to heat excessively
2-41. What type of bridge is recommended for
measuring resistances less than 1 ohm?
1. Wheatstone bridge
2. Schering bridge
3. Maxwell bridge
4. Kelvin bridge
2-42. When using resistance-ratio bridges to
measure capacitance, inductance, or
resistance, you should compare the
unknown component with which of the
following components?
1. A capacitor
2. An inductor
3. A resistor
4. A similar standard
2-43. A Hay bridge measures unknown
inductances by comparing them with
which, if any, of the following
components?
1. A standard inductor
2. A standard resistor
3. A standard capacitor
4. None of the above
2-44. What is the advantage of using a
Maxwell bridge over a Hay bridge?
1. The Maxwell bridge can measure
greater range of inductances
2. The Maxwell bridge can measure
much smaller resistances
3. The Maxwell bridge can provide a
greater accuracy over a smaller range
4. The Maxwell bridge can measure
inductances having a high Q
2-45. Which of the following pieces of test
equipment measure(s) the magnitude and
phase angle of an unknown impedance?
1. The vector bridge
2. The impedance-angle meter
3. Both 1 and 2 above
4. The Hay bridge
2-46. Maximum transfer of rf energy between
transmitter/receiver and antenna will
occur under which of the following
circumstances?
1. When the transmitter or receiver is
properly matched to the antenna
2. When the receiver is tuned one
sideband above the transmitter
3. When the transmitter is tuned one
sideband above the receiver
4. Both 2 and 3 above
2-47. Rf impedance bridge measurements
require the use of which of the following
pieces of equipment?
1. An ac power source, a detector, and a
Wheatstone bridge
2. An rf signal generator, an
oscilloscope, and a power supply
3. An rf signal generator, an rf bridge,
and a detector
4. A Schering bridge, a detector, and an
rf power supply
