Manual for K-Notes
Why K-Notes?
Towards the end of preparation, a student has lost the time to revise all the chapters from his /
her class notes / standard text books. This is the reason why K-Notes is specifically intended for
Quick Revision and should not be considered as comprehensive study material.
What are K-Notes?
ww
A 40 page or less notebook for each subject which contains all concepts covered in GATE
w.E
Curriculum in a concise manner to aid a student in final stages of his/her preparation. It is highly
useful for both the students as well as working professionals who are preparing for GATE as it
comes handy while traveling long distances.
asyWhen do I start using K-Notes?
En
gin
It is highly recommended to use K-Notes in the last 2 months before GATE Exam
(November end onwards).
ee
How do I use K-Notes?
rin
g.n
Once you finish the entire K-Notes for a particular subject, you should practice the respective
Subject Test / Mixed Question Bag containing questions from all the Chapters to make best use
of it.

Measurement & Instrumentation

State characteristics of measuring system
1) Accuracy
Degree of closeness in which a measured value approaches a true value of a quality under
measurement .
When accuracy is measured in terms of error :
 Guaranteed accuracy error (GAE) is measured with respect to full scale deflation.
 Limiting error (in terms of measured value)

2) Precision

quantity.
3) Sensitivity En

4) Resolution

ee rin
Smallest change in input which can be measured by an instrument
g.n
5) Threshold
Minimum input required to get measurable output by an instrument et
6) Zero Drift
Entire calibration shifts gradually due to permanent set

7) Span Drift
If there is proportional change in indication all along upward scale is called span drift.
ww
8) Dead zone & Dead time
w.E
The range of input for which there is no output this portion is called Dead zone.
To respond the pointer takes a minimum time is called dead time.
TYPES OF ERROR asy

En
a) Gross Error : Error due to human negligency, i.e. due to loose connection, reading the value
etc.
gin
b) Systematic error : Errors are common for all observers like instrumental errors,
ee
environmental errors and observational errors.

c) Random errors : Error due to unidentified causes & may be positive or negative.

 In first clock cycle, MSB is set to get voltage corresponding to the digital o/p
 If V0 < Va , then in next cycle next bit is set else,
 If V0 > Va , MSB is reset & next bit is set
 We continue the same process till we reach LSB.

Specifications of Digital Voltmeter

1) Resolution
The smallest value of input that can be measured by digital meter is called resolution.
