Error: The difference between the reported value and the (usually unknown) true value of a quantity. Validity: How well an instrument (or measurement technique) reflects what it is purported to measure. Depends on details of the instrument, and varies with the operating conditions. Robustness: When the input to an instrument varies slightly, does its output stably reflect the changes, or does it become unstable, or chaotic? Reliability: Given very different values, or measurements taken at very different times, are the measurements consistent? Repeatability: Do repeated measurements, on a constant true value, give the same answer? Accuracy: How close is the mean measurement of a series of trials to the true value? Precision: How much do the measurements vary from trial to trial? Resolution: How finely can we and/or the instrument separate one value from another that's close to it? Mistake: .Human error.!

Definitions
Measurement : generally involves using an instrument as a physical means of determining a quantity or variable Instrument : a device for determining the value or magnitude of a quantity or variable Accuracy : closeness with which an instrument reading approaches the true value of the variable being measured. Precision : a measure of the reproducibility of the measurements; i.e., given a fixed value of a variable, precision is a measure of the degree to which successive measurements differ from one another Sensitivity : the ratio of output signal or response of the instrument to a change of input or measured variable. Resolution : the smallest change in measured value to which th instrument will respond. Error : deviation from the true value of the measured variable.

Significant Figures
Significant figures convey actual information regarding the magnitude and the measurement precision of a quantity The more significant figures, the greater the precision of the measurement When a number of independent measurements are taken in an effort to obtain the best possible answer (closest the true value), the result is usually expressed as the arithmetic mean of all readings, with the range of possible error as the largest deviation from that mean When two or more measurements with different degrees of accuracy are added, the result is only as accurate as the least accurate measurement.
T Srinivasa Rao
15
Types of Error
Gross errors : largely human errors, among them misreading of instruments, incorrect adjustments, and computational mistakes. Systematic errors : shortcomings of the instruments, such as defective or worn parts, and effects of the environment on equipment or the user. Random errors : those due to causes that cannot be directly established because of random variations in the parameter or the system of measurement.

Limiting Errors
In most indicating instruments the accuracy is guaranteed to a certain percentage of full-scale reading. Circuit components (such as capacitors, resistors, etc.) are guaranteed within a certain percentage of their rated value. The limits of these deviations from the specified values are known as limiting errors or guarantee errors.

Dynamic Behavior
The motion of a moving coil in a magnetic field is characterized by three quantities :
The moment of inertia (J) of the moving coil about its axis of rotation The opposing torque (S) developed by the coil suspension The damping constant (D).
T Srinivasa Rao
31
Damping Mechanisms
Galvanometer damping is provided by two mechanisms : mechanical and electromagnetic A galvanometer may also be damped by connecting a resistor across the coil --- CDRX (Critical Damping Resistance External)

33
Temperature Compensation
Both the magnetic fieldstrength and spring-tension decrease with an increase in temperature The coil resistance increases with an increase in temperature The spring change, conversely, tends to cause the pointer to read high with an increase in temperature Compensation may be accomplished by using swamping resistors in series with the movable coil
T Srinivasa Rao
34
Galvanometer Sensitivity
Current sensitivity may be defined as a ratio of the deflection of the galvanometer to the current producing this deflection Voltage sensitivity may be defined as the ratio of the galvanometer deflection to the voltage producing this deflection Megohm sensitivity may be defined as the number of megohms required in series with the (CDRX shunted) galvanometer to produce one scale division deflection when 1 V is applied to the circuit Ballistic sensitivity and is defined as the ratio of the maximum deflection, dm, of a galvanometer to the quantity Q of electric charge in a single pulse which produces this deflection.

Series-Type Ohmmeter
Certain disadvantage : when the battery is old, the full-scale current drops and the meter does not read "0" when A and B are shorted The design can be approach by recognizing that, if introducing Rh reduces the 1 meter current to I

Introduction
Bridge circuits are extensively used for measuring component values, such as resistance, inductance, or capacitance, and of other circuit parameters directly derived from component values Its accuracy can be very high.
Bridges are electrical circuits for performing null measurements on resistances in DC and general impedances in AC
