(a) DifferentiatebetweenResistancethermometers
andThermisters.
A thermisterhasa resistance
of
3980 C) at ice point (0'C) and 794 Q at
Theresistance-temperature
5OoC. relationship
is
given by Rr = a Roebtr. Calculate the
constants'a' and'D'.Also obtainthe rangeof
resistanceto be measured in casetemperature
variesfrom 40oCto 100oC.
(b) A parallelplatecapacitivetransducer usesplates
ef area 500 mmi which are separatedby a
distanceof 0.2 mm. Calculatethe value of
capacita4ce when the dielectricis air havinga
permittivityof S p5 _r,_10-12F/m. A linear
displacement reducesthe distancebetweenthe
platesto 0.18mm,calculate the ratioof perunit
changeof capacitance to per unit changeof
displacement. Suppose a micasheetof 0.01mm
thicknessis insertedin the gap, calculatethe
aboveratio for this arrangement. The dielectric
constantof mica is 8.
(c) How is a differentialoutput taken from an
inductivetransducer? Explain the advantages
wheninductivetransducers
areusedin push-pull
configuration.
An LVDT with a secondaryvoltage of
5 V has a rangeof + 25 mm. Find the output
voltageswhen the core is (i) -18.75 mm and
(ii) +12.25mm from the centre.'
