The resolution of an indicating instrument can be defined as: 1) Variation in the meter reading for the same applied input. 2) Detectable change in the deflection due to the smallest change in the applied input. 3) Detectable change in the output due to drifting of the pointer. Which of the above statements are correct?

The resolution of an indicating instrument can be defined as: 1) Variation in the meter reading for the same applied input. 2) Detectable change in the deflection due to the smallest change in the applied input. 3) Detectable change in the output due to drifting of the pointer. Which of the above statements are correct? Correct Answer 2 only

  • Resolution is the ability of the instrument or measurement system to detect and faithfully indicate the small changes in the characteristics of the measurement result.
  • Let’s assume the resolution is denoted by ‘δ’
  • A small δ implies good resolution and a large δ implies poor resolution.

 

Note: The number of digits displayed doesn’t indicate the resolution of the instrument.

Non-electrical Example:

Consider two rulers. One marked in 1/16 inch and another marked ¼ inch. 1/16 inch marked segments offer greater resolution than one marked in quarter-inch segments.

Electrical Example:

A maximum resolution of 100 mV (0.1 V) means that when the multimeter’s range is set to measure the highest possible voltage, the voltage will be displayed to the nearest tenth of a volt.

Resolution is improved by reducing the DMM’s range setting as long as the measurement is within the set range.

Each question presents a situation and asks you to make a judgement regarding that particular circumstance. Choose an answer based on given information. Arun, Varun and Tarun were performing an experiment in a Chemistry lab. In the experiment they have to mark down the reading for the exam. The reading is displayed only for few seconds on ABC-meter. Each of them watched the reading and remember certain numbers. The reading is of eight digits. Out of all three, if at least two agrees for a digit then that digit must be present in the reading. 1. All three of them agrees that last 3 digits were 754. 2. Varun mentioned that the 5th digit from the left was 7. 3. Tarun and Arun agrees that first two digit from left was 35. 4. Varun and Tarun agrees that 4th digits was average of 3rd and 5th digit from the left. Which of the following would be most likely the reading of the experiment?
