A series ohmmeter is made up of the following components: supply voltage Eb = 3 V, series resistor R1 =
30 k, meter shunt resistor R2 = 50 , meter FSD = 50 µA, and meter resistance Rm = 50 . Determine
the resistance measured at (a) 0.25 FSD (b) 0.5 FSD (c) 0.75 FSD (d) FSD.

(a). At 0.25 FSD and 3V supply, Im=50/4A =12.5A
Rx + R1 = 3V/ Ib
Rx = 3V/ Ib - R1
But, Ib = Im + I2
And I2 = ImRm/R2
=12.5Ax 50/50
=12.5A
Then Ib = 12.5A+12.5A = 25A
So, Rx = 3V/25A-30k
= 90k
So, Rx = 3V/50A-30k
= 30k
So, Rx = 3V/75A-30k
= 10k
But, Ib = Im + I2
And I2 = ImRm/R2
=50Ax 50/50
=50A
Then Ib = 50A+50A = 100A
So, Rx = 3V/100A-30k = 0
P12
A series ohmmeter that has a standard internal resistance of R1 = 50 k uses a meter with FSD = 75 µA
and Rm = 100 . The meter shunt resistance is R2 = 300 and the battery voltage Eb = 5 V. Determine the
resistance measured at (a) 0.25 FSD (b) 0.5 FSD (c) 0.75 FSD (d) FSD.

Eb=5V R2=300 Rm=100
I2 Im=75A
So, Rx = 5V/50A-50k

So, Rx = 5V/75A-50k
= 16.67k
So, Rx = 5V/100A-50k = 0

For the ohmmeter circuit in Problem 1, determine the new resistance to which R2 must be adjusted when
Eb falls to 2.5 V. Also, determine the new resistances measured at (a) 0.5 FSD (b) 0.75 FSD.

R1=30k
Ib
Eb=2.5V R2 Rm=50
I2 Im=50A
But, Ib = Im + I2
I2 = ImRm/R2
=25A x50/75
=16.67A
Then Ib = 25A +16.67A = 41.6A
So, Rx = 2.5V/41.6A-30k
= 29.995k
30k
But, Ib = Im + I2
I2 = ImRm/R2
=37.5A x50/75
=25A
Then Ib = 37.5A +25A = 62.5A
So, Rx = 2.5V/62.5A-30k
= 10 k
