Attempt the following questions.

[C4-CLO2]

I. Analyze the rectifier ammeter circuit in figure-1 is to give FSD for 5A transformer
primary current. The PMMC meter has FSD = 1 mA and R m = 1700 Ω. The current
transformer has Ns = 500 and Np = 4, the diodes each have V F = 0.7 V, and the series
resistance is Rs = 15 kΩ. Calculate the required resistance for RL.

Q2. Attempt the following questions. [C3-CLO3] (10

marks)
A. Compute the maximum and minimum resistance that can be measured by a Wheatstone
bridge shown in figure 1 which can have P = 1 kΩ, 5 kΩ, or 10 kΩ, Q = 1 kΩ, 5 kΩ, or 10
kΩ, and S adjustable from 1 kΩ to 6 kΩ.

B. A Wheatstone bridge has P = 3 kΩ, Q = 6 kΩ, and S = 5 kΩ when R = 2 kΩ. The supply
is EB = 12 V, and the galvanometer has a current sensitivity of 1 μA/mm and a resistance
rg = 2.5 kΩ. Compute the minimum change in R which is detectable by the bridge.
