EE 370 Electronic Instrument Assignment 1

1. Make the block diagram showing the functional elements of the instruments depicted
in the figure below.

2. Discuss modifying and interfering inputs of the following arrangements

3. The natural frequency of oscillation of the balance wheel in a watch depends on the
moment of inertia of the wheel and the spring constant of the hair spring. A temp rise
results in a reduction spring constant, which lowers the oscillation frequency.
Propose a compensating means for this effect. Non temp sensitive hair spring is not
an acceptable solution.
4. Find out the dimension of charge, current, potential difference, capacitance,
resistance, inductance, mmf, flux density and flux (B).
5. In deriving expression for resistance in a bridge circuit, the following expression is
 2 R1 R2 R3 C 2
obtained: R = . R and C are resistances and capacitance respectively.
1 +  2 CR22
Find out whether the expression is dimensionally correct or not.
6. The expression of eddy currents produced in a metallic former moving in the field of
BlbA
a magnetic field is found as I e = K . Where B is the flux density, l is the
(2b + l ) 
length of former, b is width of former, A is area of former,  is the resistivity of
conducting former and K is a constant. It is suspected that the term angular
frequency  is missing. Use dimensional analysis to detect the error.
