A voltage of about 200 V can be measured__________________?

Correct answer: B. a D.C. potentiometer in conjunction with a volt ratio box

  • A. directly by a D.C. potentiometer
  • B. a D.C. potentiometer in conjunction with a volt ratio box
  • C. a D.C. potentiometer in conjunction with a known resistance
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

A D.C. potentiometer is normally suited to relatively small voltages; a volt ratio box scales a 200 V input down to a range suitable for direct potentiometer measurement. A known series resistance is not the usual voltage-extension method.
