Introduction to Sensors and Measurement

What is a Sensor? A sensor is a device that receives a signal or a stimulus and responds with an electrical signal.

Calculate and analyze the measurement error, accuracy, precision and limiting error.

What is the absolute error if the expected voltage value across a resistor is 80V and the measurement is 79V?

What is the percentage of accuracy if a displacement of s =10 mm produced an output of S =10.5 mV?

What is the smallest increment of measure that a device can make?

What is the difference between systematic errors and random errors?

What are the characteristics of static and dynamic sensors?

What is the significance of the sensor's dynamic range or span?

What is the role of energy-storing elements in dynamic characteristics?

What is the relationship between input physical signal and output electrical signal in terms of sensitivity?
