Note: (I) Attempt all the questions.

(II) Answer should be to the point.

Q.1: (a) In which circumstances, the calibration of an instrument is required'? 5 marks

(b) How the calibration is done? (1 mark
(c) Is there any correlation of terms 'zero' and 'span' with calibration. each)
Justify it?
(d) Draw the characteristics of 'span shift without zero drift'?
(e) Draw the characteristics of 'span shift with zero drift'?
* Answer all the sub-sections of Q.1 in single statement.

Q.2: 1
The transfer function of a first order system is governed by . Find out 5 marks
s +5
the responses of the system if inputs are (i) step and (ii) ramp types
respectively. Also, work out the steady state errors?
Comment upon the result.

Q.3: (a) How a hall-effect transducer use for the measurement in high-voltage 5 marks
line ?
(b) Explain the working method of utilizing a strain gauge for the 5 marks
measurement of pressure?

Q.4: Consider a pattern of the statistical error where the relationship between 5 marks
'number of observed reading' and 'input physical parameter' is drawn by
1 e-
the Gaussian distribution curve Y(x) . How the
21C . cr x=12(72
higher degree of accuracy may achieve from the distribution curve?
Evaluate the probability P(Xi X-Oofy(x) within the close boundary
[xi , X2 ] . Comment over the precision index of curve/ probability tree.

Q.5: Consider a linear function of the first order system y = mx + c . Apply the 5 marks
sum of the square of the deviation from the mean value of sample to
minimize the quantity using method of least square. Derive the standard
deviations of c x ', and y
Further, in a parallel circuit, comment upon the error produced by two
linear inputs /1 =100 2A and 1, =2005A in terms of the limiting
error.
