1. A balanced Wheatsone bridge ABCD has the following arm resistances: RAB = 1
kΩ ± 2.1%; RBC = 100 Ω ± 0.5%; RCD is an unknown resistance; RDA = 300 Ω ±

2. When the Wheatstone bridge shown in the figure is used to find the value of resistor
Rx, the galvanometer G indicates zero current when R1=50Ω,R2=65Ω and
R3=100Ω, If R3 is known with ±5% tolerance on its nominal value of 100Ω. What

3. The primary and secondary of an LVDT (stroke length !50 mm) are connected to a
3 kHz sinusoidal source and ideal semiconductor diode bridge-based phase
sensitive demodulator circuit. The core of the LVDT remains static at 15 mm above
the ideal null position. Calculate the frequency of the voltage observed at the input
of the low-pass filter.
4. A thermistor has a resistance of k10 W at cC25 and k1 W at cC100. The range of
operation is cC0 - cC150 . The excitation voltage is V5 and a series resistor of k1 W
is connected to the thermistor. The power dissipated in the thermistor at cC150 is

6. An energy meter displays the following parameters for a three-phase system:
Voltage across each phase: V=400 VV=400V Line current: I=50 AI=50A Power
factor: pf=0.8pf=0.8 Meter constant: k=1200k=1200 revolutions per kWh Time of
operation: t=2 hourst=2hours.
a. Calculate the total energy consumed in kWh during the operation time.
b. If the meter reads 2400 revolutions at the end of the operation, determine if
the meter is accurate.
c. Analyze how the presence of harmonics in the system would affect the
accuracy of the electromagnetic energy meter reading. Discuss how this
differs from an electronic energy meter’s response to harmonics.

9. A resistor of 10 kΩ is in series with a 1 kΩ resistor. If the total voltage across the
series combination is 12 V, what is the voltage drop across the 10 kΩ resistor?
10. A digital voltmeter has a resolution of 1 mV and can measure voltages up to 100 V.
If the voltmeter reads 12.345 V, what is the maximum possible error in the
measurement?
11. A digital oscilloscope samples a signal at 1000 samples per second. If the input
signal has a frequency of 600 Hz, what is the Nyquist frequency, and how does it
affect the measurement?
12. In a current transformer, if the phase angle shift between the primary and secondary
currents is found to be 2 degrees, how would this affect the accuracy of a power

13. A potential transformer is configured with a turns ratio of 100:1. If the primary
voltage is 10 kV, what is the expected secondary voltage, and what must be
considered for accurate measurement?
