Industrial Instrumentation Basics

This document provides questions from chapters about industrial instrumentation and process control fundamentals, basic electrical components, AC electricity, electronics, pressure, and level sensing. It tests understanding of concepts like: - Converting between units like pounds, kilograms, pounds per square inch, and kilopascals - Calculating current flowing through a resistor given voltage and resistance - Capacitor and resistor formulas in series and parallel circuits - Time constants for AC circuits with capacitors and inductors - Differences between analog and digital circuits, op-amp offset null, and amplifier transfer ratios - Defining pressure, density, and converting between pressure units - Categories of level sensing devices and calculating buoyant
