Question

Input signal magnitude is limited by ________

(a) button

(b) resistance

(c) attenuator

(d) voltage

I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Electronic Multimeter topic in section Electronic Instruments of Electrical Measurements

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) attenuator

To elaborate: A range switch is provided in an electronic multimeter in order to limit the input signal in terms of magnitude. We can adjust the input attenuator and limit the input signal in terms of magnitude.
