What is the non-linearity error, as a percentage of full range, produced when a 1K Ω potentiometer has a load of 10KΩ & is at one-third of its maximum displacement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.28%

Explanation:

Being at one third of its maximum range a potentiometer should output V0/3.

However if this 1kΩ potentiometer has a 10kΩ load:

(1) I1 = I2 + I3

(2) V0 = I1 * 2/3*Rp + I3 * 1/*Rp

(3) Vp = I2 * Rl

(4) Vp = I3 * 1/3 * Rp

Where

I1: current entering the potentiometer

I2: current going to the load

I3: current going to the other leg of the potentiometer

V0: supply voltage

Vp: output voltage of the potentiometer

Rp: total resistance of the potentiometer

Rl: load resistance

First we determine the intensity of I3 in function of supply power

I3 = 3 * Vp / Rp  = 3 * Vp / 1000 = 0.003*Vp

Then the load current

I2 = Vp / Rl  = Vp / 10000 = 0.0001*Vp

With these we determine I1

I1 = 0.003*Vp + 0.0001*Vp = 0.0031*Vp

Then

V0 = 0.0031 * Vp * 2/3*Rp + 0.003*Vp * 1/3*Rp

V0 = 0.00207 * Vp * Rp + 0.001 * Vp * Rp

V0 = 0.00307 * Vp * 1000

V0 = 3.07 * Vp

Vp = V0 / 3.07

Vp = 0.3257 * V0

Now the percentage error is:

(100 * (0.3333 - 0.3257)) / 0.3333 = 2.28 %

The non-linearity error will be "0.71 %".

Non-linearity error

An error seems to be the greatest discrepancy between the calibration curves as well as the "optimal simple or straight," which connects the output signal towards the applied pressure.

According to the question,

Resistance, [tex]R_p[/tex] = 1 kΩ

                   [tex]R_L[/tex] = 10KΩ

Displacement, x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] or,

                           = 0.33

We know the relation,

Non-linearity error = [tex]\frac{\frac{R_p}{R_L} (x^2-x^3)}{\frac{R_p}{R_L} x(1-x)+1}[/tex] × 100

By substituting the values, we get

                               = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{10} ((0.33)^2-(0.33)^3)}{\frac{1}{10} 0.33(1-0.33)+1}[/tex] × 100

                               = 0.71 %

Thus the above answer is appropriate.
