1. Distinguished between the direct and indirect methods of Measurements. Cite example to support
your answer.
2. Explain the theory and working of LED.
3. Explain the term: Static error, Relative error, Percentage relative error, Gross error, Systematic
Error.
4. Describe construction and working of PMMC instruments.
5. Define resolution and sensitivity related to measuring instruments.
6. List different types of electrical standards?
7. Explain the working of LCD. Write down the advantage of LED over LCD.
8. You are given a 0.1 mA with an internal resistance of 5Ω. How would you extend its range to 10
mA.
9. Convert a basic D’ Arsonval movement with an internal resistance of 50Ω and full scale deflection
current of 2mA in to a multirange dc voltmeter with range of 0-10V, 0-100V and 0=250V?
10. Explain the working of transistor voltmeter. Also write down the drawback of transistor voltmeter.
11. Describe method of damping used in PMMC instruments.
12. What is the need of Ammeter Shunt? How can shunt resistance be calculated?
13. Draws the scheme of a multi range ammeter? Design a multi-range dc ammeter with an internal
resistance of 10Ω. The full scale deflection current is 10 mA, it is required to measurement 0-10mA,
0-250mA.
14. Explain why an FET is used at the input stage of a transistor voltmeter, also explain its operation.
