Example 1

A moving coil ammeter has a uniform scale with 50 divisions and gives a full-scale reading of 5 A. The
instrument can read up to 𝟏⁄𝟒 th of a scale division with a fair degree of certainty. Determine the resolution
of the instrument in mA.
Solution:
Full-scale reading= 5 A No of divisions on scale= 50
𝟓
1 scale division = * 1000 mA = 100 mA
𝟓𝟎
Resolution = ¼ th of the scale division = 1/4 * 100 mA = 25 mA
