Q. 1 Solve the following 6
The measurement of a quantity Remembering/CO1
(a) is an act of comparison of an unknown quantity with a
predefined acceptable standard which is accurately known
(b) is an act of comparison of an unknown quantity with another
quantity
(c) is an act of comparison of an unknown quantity with a known
quantity whose accuracy may be known or may not be known
(d) none of these [3-a]
In measurement systems, which of the following are undesirable Remembering/CO1
static characteristics?
(a) Reproducibility and nonlinearity
(b) Drift, static error and dead zone
(c) Sensitivity and accuracy
(d) Drift, static error, dead zone and nonlinearity [7-d]
The heater wire of thermocouple instrument is made very thin in understand/CO2
order (a) to have a high value of resistance
(b) to reduce skin effects at high frequencies
(c) to reduce the weight of the instrument
(d) to decrease the over-ranging capacity of the instrument[18-b]
Power indicated while measuring power in a dc circuit using an understand/CO2
ammeter and a voltmeter, when the voltmeter is connected to the
load side, is
(a) true power consumed by the load
(b) power consumed by the load plus power lost in ammeter
(c) power consumed by the load plus power lost in voltmeter
(d) power consumed by load plus power lost in both ammeter and
voltmeter[2-c]
Kelvin’s double bridge is called ‘double’ because understand/CO3
(a) it has double the accuracy of a Wheatstone bridge
(b) its maximum scale range is double that of a Wheatstone bridge
(c) it can measure two unknown resistances simultaneously, i.e.,
double the capacity of a Wheatstone bridge
(d) it has two additional ratio arms, i.e., double the number of ratio
arms as compared to a Wheatstone bridge[15-d]
 Low resistances using the voltmeter–ammeter method should be Remember/CO3
measured with
(a) voltmeter connected to the source side
(b) ammeter connected to the source side
(c) any of the two connections
(d) readings are to be taken by interchanging ammeter and
voltmeter positions[9-b]

Q.2 Solve Any Two of the following. 3X2

(A) With the help of suitable diagrams and sketches, explain how a Understand/CO2
single wattmeter can be used for measurement of reactive power in
a 3-phase balanced system.
(B) Two wattmeters are connected to measure the power consumed by Applying/CO2
a 3-phase load with power factor 0.4. Total power consumed by
the load, as indicated by the two wattmeters is 30 kW. Find the
individual wattmeter readings.[7.5]
(C) A 220 V, 10 A dc energy meter is tested for its name plate ratings. Applying/CO2
Resistance of the pressure coil circuit is 8000 Ω and that of current
coil itself is 0.12 Ω. Calculate the energy consumed when testing
for a period of 1 hour with (a) Direct loading arrangement (b)
Phantom loading with the current coil circuit excited by a separate
9 V battery[8.5]

(A) Describe in brief, the use of voltmeter–ammeter method for Understand/CO3
measurement of unknown resistance.
(B) Describe with a schematic diagram the Direct Deflection Understand/CO3
Method for High Resistance Measurement
