Part-A(12-marks)

1. The following values were obtained from the measurements of the value of a 4
resistor: 147.2Ω, 147.4Ω, 147.9Ω, 148.1Ω, 147.1Ω, 147.5Ω, 147.6Ω, 147.4Ω,
147.6Ω, 147.5Ω, 147.1Ω and 148.3Ω. Calculate (a) the arithmetic mean; (b) the
average deviation; (c) the standard deviation; (d) probable error.

2. Two resistors have the following ratings: 4

R1=36Ω ± 5% and R2=75Ω ± 5%

Calculate (a) the magnitude of error in each resistor; (b) the limiting error in ohms
and in percent when the resistors are connected in series; (c) the limiting error in
ohms and in percent when the resistors are connected in parallel.

3. A resistor is measured by the voltmeter-ammeter method. The voltmeter reading 4

is 123.4 V on the 250-V scale and the ammeter reading is 283.5mA on the 500-
mA scale. Both meters are guaranteed to be accurate within ±1 percent of full-
scale reading. Calculate (a) the indicated value of the resistance; (b) the limits
within which you can guarantee the result.
