Q. Panel instruments are generally mounted vertically.

View solution

Q. Assertion (A): Many instruments use eddy current damping.

Reason (R): Eddy currents set up a magnetic flux which opposes the original movement which generates them.

View solution

Q. A generated voltage is equally dependent on three resistances R1, R2, R3 and its value is V = (R1R2)/R3. If tolerance of each resistor is 0.1%, the maximum error in voltage is
