A magnet pickup typically produces what type of signal output?

Ahigh current
Bsteady DC voltage
Cvoltage pulse
Dpure sine wave
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) voltage pulse. A magnet pickup, such as those used in engines and other machinery, typically produces a voltage pulse signal output. As the magnet moves past the pickup coil, it induces a fluctuating voltage in the coil, resulting in a series of voltage pulses rather than a steady DC voltage or pure sine wave. The other options are incorrect because: A) High current is not the typical output of a magnet pickup, which is designed to produce a voltage signal. B) A steady DC voltage is not the output of a magnet pickup, which generates a fluctuating voltage. D) A pure sine wave is not the typical output of a magnet pickup, which produces a series of voltage pulses.
