Question
Download Solution PDFA PMMC meter has an internal resistance 200 Ω and the current required for its full scale deflection is 50 μA. The meter is capable of measuring on its own a maximum voltage of:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFAmmeter sensitivity:
- Ammeter sensitivity is the amount of current necessary to cause full scale deflection (maximum reading) of the ammeter.
- The smaller the amount of current, the more "sensitive" the ammeter.
- For example, an ammeter with a maximum current reading of 1 mA would be more sensitive than an ammeter with a maximum reading of 1 ampere.
Current sensitivity is given by
Where
S = Sensitivity of ammeter.
If = Full scale deflection of an ammeter.
Rint = Internal resistance of an ammeter
Vm = Full range voltage.
Calculation:
Here Rint = 200 Ω, If = 50 μA,
∵
