Question 134Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhat is the circuit shown in the illustration used to measure? Illustration EL-0024
Abattery discharge rate in ampere-hours
Bresistance
Cgauss or magnetic field strength
Dcapacitance
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) resistance. The circuit shown in the illustration EL-0024 is used to measure resistance. This is because the circuit includes a Wheatstone bridge, which is a commonly used electrical circuit for accurately measuring and comparing unknown resistances. The other options are incorrect because: A) the circuit is not measuring battery discharge rate, C) it is not measuring magnetic field strength, and D) it is not measuring capacitance. The primary purpose of this circuit is to determine the value of an unknown resistance by comparing it to known resistances within the Wheatstone bridge configuration.
