4. Which of the following potential is applied to the grid?
a) +ve potential
b) –ve potential
c) Neutral potential
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Grid is applied by a +ve potential of 100v in order to attract electrons.

5. Which of the following is correct for the ionization transducer?
a) Grid current decrease constantly
b) Grid current Increases constantly
c) Grid current is made constant
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
