Electrical and electronics measurements miscellaneous
- A piezo electric transducer has the following parameter values:
Crystal capacitance = 10–9 F
Cable capacitance = 2 × 10–10 F
Charge sensitivity = 4 × 10–6 coulomb/cm
If the oscilloscope used for read-out has an input resistance of 1 MW in parallel with C = 4 × 10–10 F, then the voltage sensitivity constant will be

rcc = 0.01 ohm, rvc = 1000 ohm.
There are two ways in which the current coil and voltage coil can be connected. The wattmeter reads high by an amount equal to power loss in current coil in one case and in voltage coil in the other. The two possible power losses are
(i) IC² rcc = 20² × 0.01 = 4W
(ii)V² = 30² = 0.9 W rcc 1000
The two percentage errors are
(i)4 × 100 = 2 600 3
(ii)0.9 × 100 = 0.15 600 Correct Option: C

Form factor of the wave = rms Value Mean Value
Moving iron Instrument will show rms value. Rectifier voltmeter is calibrate to read rms value of sinusoidal voltage, i.e. with form factor of 1.11.∴ Mean value of the applied voltage = V2 1.11 ∴ Form factor = V1 = 1011V1 V2/1.11 V2 Correct Option: B
