1. Which one of the following instrument is used for locating submerged in an ocean ? [U.P.R.O/A.R.O.(PRE) (RE.EXAM) 2016,U.P.P.S.C. (PRE) 2000]

Correct Answer: (d) SONAR
Note:

SONAR [ Sound Navigation and Ranging ] is used for locating submerged objects in an ocean. It is based on a very simple principle i.e pulse of ultrasonic waves is sent into the water, it strikes the target and bounced back towards the source.It helps to detect or locate the submerged and icebergs.

2. SONAR is mostly used in [Chhattisgarh P.C.S. (PRE) 2011]

Correct Answer: (d) Navigatore

Correct Answer: (d) Anemometer
Note:

An audiometer is used to measure the intensity of sound ,while the audiophone is a type of small hearing aid. Anemometer is used to measure the wind speed and wind pressure. Chronometer is a timepiece or timing device .

8. Which one of the following is not correctly matched - [U.P.P.C.S. (PRE) 1997]

 

List-1 List-2
Anemometer wind speed
Ammeter electric current
Tachometer pressure difference
Pyrometer high temperature
Correct Answer: (c)
Note:

Tachometer is a type of theodolite used for rapid measurement and determine electronically or electro-optically, the distance to target and is highly automated in its operation. The remaining pairs are correctly matched. Pyrometer is used to measuring the relativity high temperature i.e furnaces.Anemometer is used to measure the speed the of wind. An Ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure electric current in circuit.

9. The device to measure electric current - [65th B.P.S.C.(Pre) (Re.exam) 2019, 64th B.P.S.C.(Pre) (Re.exam) 2019]

Correct Answer: (b) Ammeter
Note:

10. Which one of the following is not correctly matched - [67th B.P.S.C.(PRE) 2022]

List-1 List-2
a)  voltmeter potential difference
 b)   ammeter electric current
c)  potentiometer electromotive force
d)  galvanometer electric resistance

 

Correct Answer: (d)
Note:

Galvanometer is an instrument used to measure the small electric current or a function of the current by deflection of a moving coil.The deflection is a mechanical rotation derived from forces resulting from the current .Hence, the option (d) is not correctly matched. Rest are correctly matched.
