Q2.) a) PMMC meter has (10mA) half scale current deflection and (150Ω) internal
resistance. Use this meter to design a dc indirect multimeter to measure the following
ranges of current and voltage: 60mA, 250mA, 5A, 10V, 25V, and 200V. Draw the
circuit diagram of this multimeter with a control switch that can used to measure either
current or voltage.
b) Draw the block diagram of average responding ac voltmeter.

Q3.) a) A (3kHz) balanced bridge has the following constants: Arm AB has a resistance of
(2kΩ) in series with capacitance of (0.1μF), arm BC has a resistance of (1kΩ). Arm CD
has unknown inductive admittance, while arm DA has a pure resistance of (500Ω).
Determine the value of unknowns in arm CD and its quality factor.

b) What is the different between thermistor and thermocouple?

Q4.) a) A CRT has vertical deflection plates of (40mm) longs and (0.7cm) apart. The
screen is placed (23cm) a way from the end of deflection plates. If an input signal is
applied, it will produce angular deflection (4.12o) of electrons beam with a time of
(12ns) measured from beginning of deflection plates to the screen. Determine:
1. The acceleration voltage.
2. The coordinate of electrons beam position at first quarter of deflection plates.

Note: m= 9.1x10-31Kg e= 1.6x10-19 C

Q6.) a) In an experiment, the following reading were recorded:

Xi 1 3 7.5 15
Yi 91.67 57.47 38.93 28.99
1- Derive the normalized equations for this reading if y  bx  a by LSA method.
2- Determine the best fitting of reading (theoretical values of y).
Note: In solution of this question approximate to four decimal digits only after the
point.

b) Draw the waveforms of ramp type DVM.
