1. Which of the following signals are generated by Wien-bridge oscillators?
a) Square wave
b) Sine wave
c) Triangular wave
d) Pulse wave
View Answer
Explanation: Wien-bridge oscillators are sinusoidal wave generators.
2. In a Wien-bridge oscillator for obtaining 160Hz frequency output what will be the capacitor value if resistance is selected as 1KΩ?
a) 10 µF
b) 1 µF
c) 1 nF
d) 10 nF
View Answer
Explanation: Frequency of oscillation in Wien-bridge oscillator is given as 1/(2Ï€RC), by simply substituting value we obtain a result.
3. In a Wien-bridge oscillator, frequency of oscillation and capacitor value have ____________________
a) Direct proportionality
b) Inverse proportionality
c) Equality
d) No relation
View Answer
Explanation: From the relation of f = 1/(2Ï€RC), it is clear that frequency and capacitance have inverse proportionality.
