Siemens Review – Chapters 2 and 3 Potentiometers
Task No.:Point(s):2Only one answer is correct.Cat. No. 1.2 A potentiometer voltage divider is used as an automotive fuel-level sensor, as shown below. Which statement about the output voltage is correct? A If the wiper arm is moved to chassis ground, the output voltage increases. If the wiper arm is moved to “Full”, the output voltage decreases. The maximum of the output voltage is +10V with respect to chassis ground. The maximum of the output voltage is +12V with respect to chassis ground. If the potentiometer is linear and the wiper arm is in the middle position, the output voltage is +6V with respect to chassis ground. B C D E TEST QUESTION 14

Task No.: Point(s):1 One answer is correct.Cat. No.: You are measuring the current in a circuit that is operated by a 24 V DC power supply. The ammeter measures 48 mA. Later, you notice that the current has dropped to 40 mA. Eliminating the possibility of a resistance change, you conclude that the voltage has changed. How much has the voltage of the power supply changed? A 40 V B 20V C 15V D 10V E 25V
