Calculate the series resistance Rs shown in below figure. The meter resistance
Rm=200Ω and full scale meter current Ifsd=1mA respectively (Assume the diode
forward voltage is 0.7V).
A 1kHz triangular wave and a saw tooth wave is applied to vertical and horizontal
deflection plates of a CRO as shown in below figure. The CRT tube has a vertical
deflection sensitivity of 0.4cm/V and a horizontal deflection sensitivity of
0.25cm/V respectively. Assuming that the two inputs are synchronized, sketch one
cycle (a, b, c, d and e) of waveform displayed on its screen (assume one square
grid on the CRT screen is 1cm x 1cm).

Thus if IMIN and IMAX are minimum and maximum values of the measured
variable, and RIMIN and RIMAX are the corresponding sensor resistances, then
in order for the bridge output voltage to have a range from VMIN to VMAX the
following conditions must be obeyed:
For, VMIN = 0,

Commercial thermocouples
Law 1 states that the e.m.f. of a given thermocouple depends only on the
temperatures of the junctions and is independent of the temperatures of the wires
connecting the junctions.
Law 2 states that if a third metal C is introduced into A (or B) then, provided the
two new junctions are at the same temperature (T3), the e.m.f. is unchanged.
This means that a voltmeter can be introduced into the circuit without affecting the
voltage produced.
If a third metal C is inserted between A and B at either junction, then Law 3 states
that, provided the two new junctions AC and CB are both at the same temperature
(T1 or T2), then the e.m.f. is unchanged.
This means that at the measurement junction, wires A and B can be soldered or
brazed together with a third metal without affecting the e.m.f.
Law 4 (law of intermediate metals) can be used, for example, to deduce the e.m.f.
of a copper–iron (AB) thermocouple, given the e.m.f. values for copper–
constantan (AC) and constantan–iron (CB) thermocouples.
