A standard cell of 1.0185 V is used with a slide wire potentiometer. The balance was obtained at 60 cm. When an unknown emf was connected, the balance was obtained at 82 cm. The magnitude of unknown emf is

Answer» .
159.

Potentiometer method of dc voltage measurement is more accurate than direct measurement using a voltmeter because

Answer» Since the circuit is not loaded, the accurate value of dc voltage is measured.
160.

A full wave rectifier type meter is used to measure the wave shape shown in figure. The voltmeter is calibrated to read rms value of sine wave. The reading of voltmeter will be

Answer» Peak value of sine wave = 100 x 1.11 = 111 V.
161.

A moving coil instrument has a resistance of 0.5 Ω and a full scale deflection of 0.1 A. To convert it into an ammeter of 0-10 A the shunt resistance should be

Answer» .
162.

A digital frequency counter can be converted to DVM by addition of a suitable

Answer» D/A converter changes digital output to analog output.

A dynamometer wattmeter is connected in ac circuit. The reading will be

Answer» Wattmeter measures average power over a cycle.
164.

The speed transducer using a drag cup rotor has the main advantage of

Answer» A drag cup rotor has low inertia. Therefore it requires little amount of energy.
165.

A voltmeter using thermocouples measures

Answer» Since the thermocouple is based on heating effect, rms value is measured.
166.

In a thermocouple temperature transducer, the output voltage is usually measured by

Answer» The output voltage is very small. So we need a milli voltmeter.
167.

A moving iron instrument gives correct reading when used at
