A 300 V voltmeter has an accuracy of Â± 2% of full scale deflection. When the reading is 222 V, the actual voltage

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Measurements and Instrumentation - Quiz(MCQ)

lies between 216 and 228 V

is exact 222 V

lies between 217.4 and 226.6 V

lies between 217.56 and 226.44 V

Correct Answer : Option (A) : lies between 216 and 228 V

Explanation : Error = ± 6 V. Therefore, the actual value would be between 222 ± 6 V.
