Discussion
In the first portion of this lab, we began by wiring the circuit that
is shown to the right. From here we measured the value of
using the
?
?
DMM. Then we used the potentiometer to measure
for different
?
??
values of
. We did this for the 60 watt, 45 watt, and 15 watt light bulb.
?
?
We then used these values to calculate the different currents for all of
the values of
. In our circuit, resistance was 1
and because of
?
?
Ω
Ohm’s law,
, the current is equal to the voltage. With these values were were able to plot
? = 𝐼𝑅
the current against
. Our graph showed that there were constant current readings for each of
?
?
the light sources even when the voltage was altered. We then were able to take the average
current for each of the light sources and plot it against the light bulb output of each light source.
Our results showed that the average current increases as the output of the light source increases.
In the second portion of this lab, we began by wiring the
circuit that is shown to the right. We first measured the value of
from each light source at a constant distance. We then
?
𝑜??
plotted these
values versus the light bulb output. Using a
?
𝑜??
constant distance with various light sources allows us to
understand how the light intensities based on the light bulb
output alters the voltage output reading. Our results showed that when each light source was at
the same distance, the measured
value increases as the light sources increase in output. After
?
𝑜??
this, we then kept the light source constant and measured different
values when the light
?
𝑜??
bulb was different distances from the sensor. We then graphed these
values versus their
?
𝑜??
respective distances. Keeping the light source constant allows us to see how the measured
?
𝑜??
value is affected when the light intensity decreases because of distance. Our results showed that
the 15 W light source has an exponentially decreasing effect on the measured
as the light
?
𝑜??
sources distance from the sensor increases.
Review Questions
7.1
The experimental data shown above indicates almost no current for the ambient light, and the I—
light bulb output curve passes through the origin. If the current for ambient light is 0.1 mA, can
you estimate the light intensity of ambient light using the above data (in W)?

The output of a potentiometer is to be read by a recorder of 10,000 ohms input
resistance. Nonlinearity must be held to 1 percent. A family of potentiometers having
a thermal rating of 5 watts and resistances ranging from 100 to 10,000 ohms in 100-
ohm steps is available. Choose from this family the potentiometer that has the greatest
possible sensitivity and also meets the other requirements. What is this sensitivity if
the potentiometers are single-turn (360°) units?

1. Piezoelectric materials are often used as sensor materials because they transform mechanical
deformation to electrical charge. Figure 1 shows an electric circuit of a piezoelectric sensor.
The piezoelectric material is modeled as a current source in parallel with a capacitor. The
resistance models the impedance of an amplifier. The goal is to make the output voltage v(t)
proportional to the input charge q(t), so that we can use the voltage v(t) to measure the
charge q(t). The ODE governing the input and output is
dv
RC +v=R-

where q(t) is the input and v(t) is the output.
(a) Determine the frequency response function G(w). You can leave it as a fraction of two
complex numbers.
(b) Find the magnitude of the frequency response function G(w).
(c) Show the asymptotic behavior of G(w) when w <1/RC and when w≫ 1/RC.

A thermocouple produces an e.m.f. in mV according to the temperature difference between the
sensor tip 0, and the reference junction 02 (also called gauge head where the reference junction
is embedded inside the display unit for the thermocouple) such that
e = a(0, – 0,) + B(e; – e; )
a = 3.5x10? mv/deg and B = 8.2x106 mV/deg. The gauge head is at 20°C. The output is 10 mV.
Calculate the temperature of the sensor.

2. Figure 1 shows a sensor consists of a core, an armature and a variable air gap. The core with
3.0 cm depth and 10000 relative permeability has 200 coil turns. On the other hand, the armature
is a steel plate of thickness 0.2 cm and has similar relative permeability with the core. Assuming
the relative permeability of air is unity and the permeability of free space is equal to 4x x 10-7
H.m, calculate the inductance of the sensor for air gaps of 0 mm and 2 mm. Please write the
answers in 3 decimal places.

Answer the following questions, to test your understanding of sampling frequency and bit depth.
1. You are part of new automobile design team, and are responsible for designing the sensor data
collection system. The specification of the data collection system is that is must be capable of
receiving data with a resolution down to 0.1% of full scale (1 part in 1000) for any given sensor.
For example, suppose the driver pushes the gas pedal, the motion of which is read by an
electronic sensor such that the range of motion is defined from 0 (not pressed) to 1 (fully
pressed). If you want 0.1 % accuracy, you need 1000 possible data values between 0 and 1.
How many bits do you need to represent data to 0.1% accuracy?
