A dip meter may not be used directly to:
- A measure the value of capacitance or inductance
- B align transmitter-tuned circuits
- C determine the frequency of oscillations
- D align receiver-tuned circuits
Correct answer: A — measure the value of capacitance or inductance. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A dip meter finds resonance by detecting a drop in oscillator energy when coupled to a circuit, but it cannot tell you the exact numerical value of a capacitor or inductor because it lacks a scale for those specific units. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
