Technology MCQs

282. What does VVVF stand for?

A. Variant Voltage Vile Frequency
B. Variable Velocity Variable Fun
C. Very Very Vicious Frequency
D. Variable Voltage Variable Frequency
✅ The correct answer is option D.
It is a method of controlling the speed of an AC induction motor, whereby speed, current and torque can all be accurately controlled.

284. When measuring the characteristics of a small-signal amplifier, say for a radio receiver, one might be concerned with its “Noise…”?

A. Fundamental
B. Fall
C. Force
D. Figure
✅ The correct answer is option D.
“Noise figure” is one critical parameter for determining the “quality” of a low-noise, small-signal, amplifier, and perhaps more importantly, the sensitivity of the overall receiver system. It is especially important for VHF (very high frequency) – and higher frequency – designs where most of the undesired “noise” (noise that masks or overpowers the desired signals) is generated internal to the electronics itself. In HF (high frequency) applications, atmospheric noise plays a much larger role in determining overall useful sensitivity, so a circuit’s “noise figure” is less important.

285. What will a UPS be used for in a building?

A. To provide power to essential equipment
B. To monitor building electricity use
C. To carry messages between departments
D. To control lighting and power systems
✅ The correct answer is option A.
UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply. Examples of equipment that may require a UPS supply are computers, fire detection systems, hospital operating theatre equipment and escape route lighting.

286. What is an FET?

A. Farad Effect Transformer
B. Field Effect Transformer
C. Field Effect Transistor
D. French Energy Transfer
✅ The correct answer is option C.

288. The Central Processing Unit is an embeded chip that acts as the ‘brains’ of a computer. What Intel chip was used in the Altair (the first real personal computer)?

A. 6502
B. 8080
C. 6400
D. 8286
✅ The correct answer is option B.
The Intel 8080 was a jazzed-up calculator chip. It was included in microcomputer kits which were little more than demonstration tools and did little except blink lights. Besides the 8080 chip, the Altair included a power supply, a front panel with a large number of lights and 256 bytes (not kilobytes) of memory. The kit sold for {$395} and had to be assembled.

290. What is a NIC?

A. Netware Intranet Controller
B. No Internet Connection
C. Network Interface Card
D. Network Interference Control
✅ The correct answer is option C.
A NIC is a Network Interface Card. Usually a card that is plugged into a computer’s expansion slot.
