Important short question:

Q#1: Briefly give the function of Filament, Cathode, Grid and plates in C.R.O?
Filament heats the cathode. Cathode emits the electron. Grid control the number of electrons i.e. control brightness. Plates in
CRO deflect the beam of electron along x-axis and y-axis
Q#2: Write any two uses of CRO?
CRO is used for displaying the waveform of a voltage. Once the waveform is displayed we can measure the voltage, its
frequency and phase.
Q#3: Discuss briefly digital multi meter?
Digital multi meter is an electronic device to measure resistance, current and voltage. It is digital version of AVO metre. Digital
multimetre gives the digital values and are displayed automatically with decimal point, polarity and unit for voltage, current and
resistance. These meters are easy to use.
Q#4: What is dead beat galvanometer?
The galvanometer in which the coils comes to rest quickly after current passed through it is called stable or dead beat
galvanometer.
Q#5: What is cathode ray oscilloscope?
Cathode ray oscilloscope traces the desired waveform with a beam of electron. CRO is high speed graph plotting device. It is
mainly consist of a) electron gun b) vertical deflection plates c) horizontal deflection plates d) Fluorescent screen
Q#6: What is Lorentz force? Give the role of electric and magnetic force in this regard?
The vector sum of electric and magnetic force is called Lorentz force.
F=Fe+FB =qE+q(v×B)
Only electric force does work, while magnetic force only a deflecting force. Magnetic force doesn’t do any work.
Q#7:Define Magnetic flux density, give its unit?
The number of magnetic lines of force passing through certain area element is called magnetic flux. Mathematically:
ΦB =B.A=BAcosƟ
Magnetic flux is scalar quantity and its SI unit is NmA-1 which is also known as weber.
Q#8: How galvanometer can be made more sensitive?
c
In galvanometer I = θ , A galvanometer can be made sensitive by making c/BAN small. To increase sensitivity c may be
BAN
decreased or B,A and N may be increased.
Q#9: Define sweep or time base generator?
The sweep or time base generator produces saw tooth waveform form used in CRO across the horizontal deflection plates to
control the deflection beam of electron along horizontal.
Q#10: Define Galvanometer writes its working principle?
Galvanometer is an electrical device to detect the passage of current. The working principle of galvanometer is based on the
current carrying coil experiences a torque when placed in magnetic field.
Q#11: Define tesla write its mathematical formula?
Magnetic induction is said to be one tesla, if one newton force acting on a conductor of one meter length placed at right angle to
magnetic field.
N
T=
Am
Q#12:How can you convert galvanometer into a voltmeter?
In order to convert galvanometer into voltmeter a high resistance should be connected in series across the galvanometer.
Q#13: What is function of grid in CRO?
Grid controls the number of electron emitting from the cathode which in turns control the brightness of graph on screen of CRO.
Q#14: State Amperes law? Write down its formula?
Sum of all the quantities B∆l in which the complete loop has be divided is equal to µ o times the total current encloses. (write
mathematical expression)
Q#15:How can you convert galvanometer into a ammeter?
In order to convert galvanometer into ammeter a small resistance should be connected in parallel with galvanometer.
Q#16: what is ohmmeter and how it can be constructed?
Important short question:

Ohmmeter is an electronic device for measurement of resistance. Ohm meter consist of a galvanometer and adjustable resistance
and a cell connected in series.
