Storage of data using a magnetic tape unit is
based on which of the following principles?
1.
2.
3.
4.
Current flow in a conductor can be generated
by a change in the magnetic lines of force
that cut through a conductor
Changing the current flow in a conductor
creates a change in the magnetic lines of
force radiating from the conductor
Both 1 and 2 above
Current flow cannot be created by moving a
conductor through a magnetic field -
The electromagnetic-type conductor used to
create a magnetic spot on a magnetic tape is
called a
1. read head
2. write head
3. flux pattern
4. magnetic oxide
A magnetic spot recorded on a magnetic surface
may be sensed by an electromagnetic-type
conductor called a
1. read head
2. write head
3. flux pattern
4. magnetic oxide
Data stored on a magnetic surface may only be
read once.
1. True
2. False
A flux pattern magnetized in one direction to
indicate a binary ONE and the opposite direction
to indicate a binary ZERO is a characteristic of
which of the following recording techniques?
1. Return-to-zero
2. Non-return-to-zero
3. Phase encoding

Using narrow current spikes to write small flux
patterns is a characteristic of which of the
following recording techniques?
1. Return-to-zero
2. Non-return-to-zero
3. Phase encoding
A binary ONE indicated by a change in flux
direction is a characteristic of which of the
following recording techniques?
1. Return-to-zero
2. Non-return-to-zero
3. Phase encoding
What recording technique, if any, provides for the
highest data density?
1. Return-to-zero
2. Non-return-to-zero
3. Phase encoding
4. None; they all provide the same density
An invisible line on a tape where data is written
or read a bit at a time is called a
1. file
2. frame
3. record
4. track
Data bits written concurrently across the width of
the tape are called a
1. file
2. frame
3. record
4. track
Which of the following terms indicates the
density of data stored on multitrack tape?
1. Bits per inch
2. Characters per inch
3. Frames per inch
4. Records per inch
