A typical Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is fundamentally designed to visually display and analyze which physical quantity with respect to time?
A. Magnetic Field
B. Voltage
C. Pressure
D. Temperature
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A CRO uses an electron beam sweeping across a phosphorescent screen to create a visible graph. It is fundamentally a voltage-measuring instrument. The vertical deflection is directly proportional to the applied voltage, and the horizontal deflection is controlled by a time-base generator, allowing it to display voltage waveforms over time.

A 100 W, 200 V bulb is connected to a 100 V supply. Power consumed is
A. 100 W
B. 50 W
C. 25 W
D. 200 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
R = V²/P = 40000/100 = 400 Ω. At 100 V, P = V²/R = 10000/400 = 25 W.

SONAR uses waves of frequency:
A. < 20 Hz
B. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
C. Any frequency
D. > 20 kHz

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
SONAR uses ultrasonic waves (>20 kHz) for better directionality, resolution, and reduced absorption in water. Audible sound (20Hz-20kHz) diffracts more; infrasonic (
