B.Tech IV Year I Semester (R09) Regular & Supplementary Examinations December/January 2013/14 ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS AND INSTRUMENTATION Time: 3 hours Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry equal marks ***** 1 (a) (b) Define sensitivity. Express sensitivity mathematically. What is deflection factor? A particular ammeter requires a change of 1 A in its coil in order to produce a change in deflection of the pointer by 3 mm. Determine its sensitivity and deflection factor. Explain with the help of a block diagram the operation of a function generator. Explain the working principal of a pulse generator. Explain the functions of a resonance bridge and harmonic detector. Explain with a diagram, the Wien bridge method of a harmonic distortion analyzer. With the help of a neat sketch explain the operation of a triggered sweep generator. Explain the operation of a dual trace in X-Y mode. Explain, with the help of a block diagram the various parts of a digital multimeter. Explain the ohmmeter part of a digital multimeter. Describe how R 1, R 10, R 100 ranges are obtained in this instrument. Draw the circuit for Schering bridge and derive the expression for unknown capacitance Cx. In the case of a Schering bridge, arm AC has R = 4.7 k. Arm CD has unknown elements. Arm BD has C = 0.1 MF Arm AB = 4.7 K is shunt with 1 MF. Determine values of components is the arm CD. Differentiate between thermistor and thermocouple. Explain working of RTD. Classify different types of recorders used in instrumentation. Explain the RS-232 standards for the serial port.
