EEE2205: ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS DATE: JANUARY 2018, Instructions: Artempi question ome and any other two questions. Show all working in a neat and legible manner \ 6 eae ee ae juestion One Semauis oe - 1 se a) Differentiate between a ‘finan! a ani derived unit giving two examples of each. {3 marks} b) State and explain any three parameters used to describe the performance of a capacitor. {6 marks} c) A resistor has a nominal value of 10Q+1%. A voltage is applied and the power consumed is calculated using the expression P = E?/R. Calculate the percentage expected uncertainty in measurement of power when the measured value of E = 100V + 1% {6 marks} d) Describe the various operating forces needed for proper operation of an analog ~ {4 marks} indicating instrument. ‘An ammeter has a full scale deflection of 100 mA and a resistance of 50. The ammeter is used to measure the current in the load of resistance 500Q when the supply voltage is 10 V. Calculate (i) The ammeter reading expected (neglecting its resistance), Page 1 of 4(ii) The actual current in the circuit, (ii) The power dissipated in the ammeter and (iv) The power dissipated in the load. f) The waveforms shown in oscilloscope: e vertical attenuation is set to 3V/div and the time/div control set at 3uS/div, Determine: (a) The peak to peak amplitude of Waveform A. (b) The frequeney of Waveform A () The rise time of the Waveform B (a) The phase difference between the two waveforms. Question Two {20 marks} a) AHay’s bridge is ofte configuration shown in figure Qn. 2(a). (i) Obtain the bridge balanced conditions. f (ii) Show that if the Q value of the unknown inductor is high, the expression for the ad inductance value when the bridge is balanced is. independent of frequency. — - Gil) IF the Q value is high, caleulate the value of the inductor ifthe bridge component salut eae as aos: Ry Rs=10000; C4=0.02F f {7 marks} sn used for measuring the inductance of high Q coils and has the {12 marks} _-alllFigure Qn. 2(a) ti b) Differenae between Current transformer and Potential transformer.
