 The Design Process

1. Create a schematic of physical system
2. Develop a mathematical model (or Block Diagram) of a schematic
3. Reduce a mathematical model (or Block Diagram) into a mathematical description that
represents input and output only
4. Analyze and Design the system

 Case Study:
A variable resistor, called potentiometer is shown in fig below. The resistance is varied by
moving a viper arm along a fixed resistance. The resistance from A to C is fixed, but the
resistance from B to C varies with the position of the wiper arm. If it takes 10 turns to move the
wiper from A to C, draw a block diagram of the potentiometer showing the input variable, the
output variable and (inside the block) the gain, which is constant and is the amount by which
the input is multiplied to obtain the output.
