Questions for: Measurements And Instrumentation

In the wheatstone bridge in figure, each resistance is increased by 0.05%. The value of v0 will be
A:
50 mV
B:
5 mV
C:
0.1 mV
D:
zero
Answer: D

Output of first op-amp is -2V, -V2.

Therefore, .

A variable reluctance tachometer has 180 teeth on rotor. The speed of shaft on which it is mounted in 1200 rpm. The frequency of output pulses is
A:
1800 per second
B:
3600 per second
C:
4800 per second
D:
5600 per second
Answer: B

.

A sinusoidal ac voltage of amplitude 100 V is applied to a rectifying device which offers 10 Ω resistance in forward direction and infinite resistance in backward direction. A moving coil ammeter is also connected in the circuit. The reading of ammeter will be
A:
10 A
B:
5 A
C:
3.185 A
D:
14.14 A
Answer: C

Moving coil instrument indicates average value

.

The volt ratio box is basically a
A:
potential divider
B:
current transformer
C:
a high resistance voltmeter
D:
either (a) or (c)
Answer: A

DC potentiometer can measure voltages upto about 1.5 V. Volt ratio box is used to reduce the unknown voltage so that it can be measured by dc potentiometer.

In figure, the position of voltmeter and ammeter are exchanged. It may result in damage to
A:
both the instruments
B:
ammeter
C:
voltmeter
D:
neither of two
Answer: B

Very high current will flow through ammeter because ammeter resistance is very low.
