Alternating Current vs Direct Current - Technical MCQs

Q1:

A test equipment item that has the ability to produce either square, triangular, or sawtooth waveforms is called:

A a function generator

B a radio frequency generator

C an audio frequency generator

D a frequency meter or counter

ANS:A - a function generator

All of the signals are just functions and hence can be represented by a function generator.

RF and AF generator cannot reproduce an exact square triangle or sawtooth waveform while the Frequency meter or counter only determines the frequency of the signal.
