ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Question #1: (Marks: 3)

i. Accuracy is defined as …….

a. closeness with which an instrument reading approaches the True Value (AT) of the quantity being
measured.
b. the average of an infinite number of measured values when the average deviation (due to various
contributing factors) tends to zero.
c. the measure of the reproducibility (repeatability) of the measurement value.
d. the deviation of the Measured Value (AM) from the True Value (AT).

ii. A Wheatstone bridge requires a change of 7Ω in the unknown arm of the bridge to produce a
change in deflection of 3 mm (or 0-3mm) of the galvanometer. Determine the sensitivity.
a. 1.429 mm/Ω b. 0.429 mm/Ω c. 0.252 mm/Ω d.1.252 mm/Ω

iii. The PMMC instrument at steady state

a. θαV b.θα 1/ I c.θαI d. none

iv. The given arrangement is for a DC ……

a.Ammeter b. Voltmeter c. Wattmeter d. none

v. The principle of PMMC is that when the current-carrying coil is positioned in the magnetic
field produced by a permanent magnet, then a force is experienced by the coil and moves.
True/False

vi. The PMMC instrument can be used only as an ammeter and voltmeter with respect to DC
measurement.
True/False

Question #2: (Marks: 3)
A circuit was tuned for resonance by eight different students, and the values of resonant frequency in kHz
were recorded as 732, 748, 743, 735, 746, 731, 743, and 736. Calculate (a) the arithmetic mean (b) the
deviations from the mean (c) average deviation (d) the standard deviation, and (e) the variance.

ANSWER:

Question #3: (Marks: 3)
Design a Multi-Range dc Milli-Ammeter using a basic movement with an internal resistance R m = 50Ω and
fsd current Im = 1mA. The ranges required are: (i) 0-10mA (ii) 0-50mA (iii) 0-100mA

Question #5: (Marks: 3)
A basic d' Arsonval Meter movement with an internal resistance Rm = 100Ω and full-scale current Im = 1
mA, is to be converted to multi-range d c voltmeter with ranges of 0 – 10 V, 0 – 50 V, 0 – 250 V. Find the
various resistances using the potential divider arrangement.
