Assignment 1
Instructions:
 Answer all the Questions.
 Each question carries 1 Mark
Time duration : Max. Marks - 10

1) Explain the terms: Sensitivity, Precision, and accuracy. Explain the difference between each with
an example.

2) A step input of 6 A is applied to an ammeter. The pointer swings to a point of 6.25 A and finally
comes to rest at 6.03 A. Determine (i) Overshoot of ammeter reading in ampere (ii) percentage error
of the ammeter reading.

3) a) The measured value of current is 9.8 A , for an actual current of 10 A. Find (i) Absolute
error (ii) Percentage error in reading (iii) Percentage error in full-scale ( scale : 0 – 30 A).

b) You need to measure a current of 2 A DC and you are given two PMMC ammeters (a) 0
– 5 A, class 0.5 (b) 0-3 A, class 1.0. Which one do you choose for better measurement?

4) A resistor of 8.2 kΩ with 5% tolerance is connected in series with a 5.6 kΩ resistor of 10%
tolerance. What is the tolerance limit of series network?

5) For the figure shown , I1= 100 ± 2 A and I2 = 200 ± 5 A.


Determine current I , by

a) considering errors in I1,I2 as limiting error.

b) considering errors as standard deviation.

6) a) A voltmeter reads 218.56 V. The error taken from an error curve is -0.28 V. What will be
true value of voltage?

b) The total Voltage V= V1 + V2 is measured as, V1= (15 ± 0.5) V, V2= (25 ± 1) V. Then
what will be the value of voltage V measured?

7) A set of independent voltage measurements were recorded as 48.1, 48.2, 48.3, 48.4 V. Find a)
Average voltage b) Average range of error.

8) Calculate to appropriate number of significant figures. (i) Total resistance , if Two resistors
R1,R2 are connected in series with R1= 100.3 Ω and R2=5.367 Ω. (ii) Voltage across resistance, if
current I = 2.27 A is flowing through a resistance of 45.34 Ω.

9) An ammeter of 0-100 A range has a guaranteed accuracy of 1% of full scale reading. The current
measured is 24 A. Determine the limiting error of Ammeter.
10) In a Wheatstone bridge, the voltages across the two adjacent arms of the bridge are measured
with a 5 V, class 0.5 meters as 2.8 and 2.7 V and the difference voltage is then computed. Determine
the worst case error. Determine the measurement error if a 100 mV FS, class 2.5 meter is employed
to measure the difference voltage and it reads 80 mV.
