    (Measurement errors and Standards)
    1.

    A component manufacturer constructs certain resistances to be anywhere


    between 1.14K and 1.26 K and classifies them to be 1.2 K resistors
    .What tolerance should be stated? If the resistances values are specified
    at25oC and the resistors have a temperature coefficient of +500ppm/ oC,
    calculate the maximum resistance that one of these component might
    have at 75oC.
    Ans: Absolute error= 0.06 K, Tolerance=5%, R=1.26K,, Maximum
    resistance at 75 oC.

    4.
    An 820 resistance with accuracy of 10% carries a current of 10mA.The
    current was measured by an analog ammeter on a 25mA range with an
    accuracy of 25% of the full scale calculate the power dissipated in the
    resistor , and determine the accuracy of the result.
    Ans: P=82mW,error in R=25% ,error in I=5%
    5.
    The accuracy of a five digital voltmeters are checked by using each of
    them to measure a standard 1.0000V from a calibration instrument .The
    voltmeter readings are as follows : V1=1.001V, V2=1.002V, V3=0.999V,
    V4=0.998V,and V5=1.000V.Calculate
    average measured voltage
    average deviation
    Standard deviation
    Probable error
    Ans: Probable error=0.94mV
    6.
    The expected value of the voltage to be measured is 150 V .However the
    measurement gives a value of 149V .Calculate
