Electrical and Electronics Measurements

  1. A piezo electric transducer has the following parameter values:
    Crystal capacitance = 10–9 F
    Cable capacitance = 2 × 10–10 F
    Charge sensitivity = 4 × 10–6 coulomb/cm
    If the oscilloscope used for read-out has an input resistance of 1 MW in parallel with C = 4 × 10–10 F, then the voltage sensitivity constant will be
    1. 2500 V/cm
    2. 3334 V/cm
    3. 4000 V/cm
    4. 4500 V/cm
Correct Option: A

Total capacitance = Crystal capacitance + Cable capacitance + Oscilloscope capacitance
= (10 + 2 + 4) × 10–10 F
Change sensitivity = 4 × 106 C/cm
