Max Marks: 30
In designing a second order instrument, what value of damping factor will you choose and
why? m
Draw the circuit diagram of an active band pass filter um
What are the two limitations of a single op-amp difference amplifier? uw
{A transducer has source impedance that varies from 5 to 2 kO during its operation and is used
with different display instruments. Will loading be a serious problem (give reasons), when
transducer is used with:
a) An oscilloscope having an input impedance of 1.0 MO
b) An optical oscillograph having an input impedance of 100 0 nm
‘A petiodie signal is to be measured with a first order instrument having a time constant of 3
sec, If an amplitude error of $% can be tolerated, find the highest frequency of input signal
that can be measured by the instrument. 1
Discuss in brief the importance of t-distribution in the context of measurements. 2
Write down the steps of sequential perturbation approach rea)
'A first order temperature sensor has been suddenly immersed in a liquid that has a
temperature of 100°C. If after 3 sec the sensor shows a temperature of 80°C, calculate the
instrument time constant, Also calculate the error in the temperature reading after 2 sec. How
‘much time should you wait so thatthe error is less than 19% ? Bl
‘An accelerometer that is second order in nature is to be selected to measure sinusoidal signal
of frequency below 100Hz. If amplitude error of #5 % is allowed, find the allowable range of
Wy for damping ratio of 0.6 BI
of 1, 10, 100, 1000. Show
the complete circuit using 741 op amps. (5)
11) An RTD (sensor) forms one arm of a Wheatstone bridge as shown in Fig below. The fixed
resistances, Ry and Rs are equal to 25 Q. The resistance of RTD over a small temperature
range may be expressed as Rerp = Ro(1 + aT} where Ry = 25 Nand a = 0.003925°C". A
temperature measurement is made by placing the RTD in the measuring environment and
balancing the bridge by adjusting R,. The value of Ry required to balance the bridge is 37.36
Q. Determine the temperature of the RTD. If the required uncertainty in the measured
temperature is < 0.5°C, would a 1% uncertainty in each of the resistors that make up the
bridge be acceptable (assume no uncertainty in Ro, @) [243]i
