Meters And Testing Equipment

Question 1

This meter is an instrument used to measure and indicate pressure.

Answer 1

Manometer

Question 2

This meter is used for measuring or detecting small currents. It shows both the magnitude and direction of the current.

Answer 2

Galvanometer

Question 3

You can convert a galvanometer into an ammeter by adding what in parallel with the meter.

Answer 3

A low resistance shunt.

Question 4

This device tests for the presence of voltage by placing it in direct contact with the conductor and lighting up a neon bulb if voltage is there.

Answer 4

Neon Tester

Question 5

This meter is an instrument for measuring electrical resistance.

Answer 5

Ohmmeter

Question 6

This device measures and displays voltage signals as waveforms on a graph, allowing you to see the variation of voltage over time.

Answer 6

Oscilloscope

Question 7

This meter is an instrument for measuring the electric active(real) power (or the average of the rate of flow of electrical energy).

Answer 7

Wattmeter

Question 8

This isthe MKS unit of energy, equal to the force of ones Newton acting through one meter.

Answer 8

Joule

Question 9

This is the SI derived unit of electrical capacitance, the ability of a body to store an electrical charge.

Answer 9

Farad

Question 10

This is the SI unit of electric charge, equal to the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.

Answer 10

Coulumb

Question 11

This meter is an instrument used to determine specific gravity.It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats.

Answer 11

Hydrometer
