Dynamic characteristics
The set of criteria defined for the instruments, which are changing rapidly
with time is called dynamic characteristics.
i.e Measurement quantities are either rapidly vary with time.
We will examine the relation between input and output
dynamic description which involves differential equations
Speed of response
Measuring lag
Fidelity
Dynamic error

Absolute error or static error (e) = Yn – Xn where Yn : true
value and Xn: measured value
%error or relative error= (absolute value / true value) *100 =
(e/Yn) * 100 = (Yn – Xn)/Yn *100
Accuracy A = 1-
%accuracy a = 100% - % error = A * 100%

The sensitivity denotes the smallest change in the measured variable to which the
instrument responds. It is defined as the ratio of the changes in theoutput of an
instrument to a change in the value of the quantity to be measured.
Mathematically it is expressed as,
Inverse sensitivity or deflection factor = 1/ sensitivity

Analysis of Measurement characteristics :
1. The expected value of the current through a resistor is 20mA. However, the
measurement gives a value of 18mA. Calculate (a) absolute error (b) % error (c)
relative accuracy (d) % accuracy
2.A set of independent current measurements were recorded as 10.03,10.10, 10.11 and
10.08A.Calcualte average current and range of error.
3.A Wheatstone bridge requires a change of 6 ohm in the unknown arm of the bridge
to produce a change in deflection of 2.4mm of the galvanometer. Calculate the static
sensitivity and deflection factor.
4.An Ammeter has 100 divisions on its index scale and is provided with range
multiplier switches of 1, 10and 100.Find the range of the instrument and scale range.
5.The below table shows the set of 10 measurements that were recorded in the
laboratory. Calculate the precision of the 5th measurement.
