Question (1) Measurement Error (15 points)

A voltmeter with an accuracy of 4 % at full scale of 400 V, measure 160 V across the
resistance R. The current in R is measure by an ammeter with an accuracy of 3 % at full
scale of 5 A. The ammeter reading is 4 A.
(a) Determine the value of R with maximum and minimum absolute errors.
(b) Use the obtained values of R to determine the power values consumed in it.
Question (2) General model, specifications and errors: pressure sensor (20 points)

A pressure sensor MPXM2202A series is used, with specifications given in the enclosing
table, for the following conditions:
Power supply:
Temperature range:
Pressure Range:
The system consists of a strain gauges mounted on a Wheatstone bridge. Calculate the
maximum error and the probable error.

Question (3) Digital signal – Analog to digital converter (15 points)

Find the successive approximation A/D output for a 4 bit converter to a 3.217 volt input if
the reference is 5 volts.
Question ( 4 ) Design a multiple range DC voltmeter (15 points)

Calculate the value of multiplier resistances for the multiple range DC voltmeter. The
circuit is shown below

Question (5 ) Loading Error (15 points)

Find the voltage reading and percentage error for each reading obtained with a
voltmeter on (i) 5 V range, (ii) 10 V range and (iii) 30 V range, if the instrument has
a 20 kilo Ohm / volt sensitivity, an accuracy 1 % of full scale deflection and the
meter is connected across Rb
