Superposition Theorem Requirement: Power System is a complex network having number of voltage and current sources and number of loads. Now to analyze the network we need to find voltage/current at particular branch or load.  In such cases calculations for thevenin's and norton's theorem becomes difficult. We can use superposition theorem to find voltage/current at any branch or load in complex network. In this theorem only one source considered at a time and total voltage/current is sum of voltage/current obtained by considering individual source.   Statement of Superposition Theorem:

(Solved) An LVDT is connected to an amplifier of gain 250 the output terminals of which are connected to a 5 V voltmeter. The meter's scale can be read to 1/5th of a division and has 100 divisions in all. Given that a core displacement of 0.5 mm provides an output of 2 mV from the LVDT, find, 1. The sensitivity of the LVDT 2. The sensitivity of the whole system 3. The resolution of the instrument in centimeters

 Question : An LVDT is connected to an amplifier of gain 250 the output terminals of which are connected to a 5 V voltmeter. The meter's scale can be read to 1/5th of a division and has 100 divisions in all. Given that a core displacement of 0.5 mm provides an output of 2 mV from the LVDT, find,  1. The sensitivity of the LVDT  2. The sensitivity of the whole system  3. The resolution of the instrument in centimeters Explanation : (a) Sensitivity of LVDT = Output voltage /displacement  Sensitivity of LVDT = 2mV/0.5 mm = 4 mV/mm (b)Sensitivity of whole setup = amplification factor*sensitivity of LVDT  Sensitivity of whole setup = 250*(4 mV/mm) = 1000 mV/mm (c) The resolution of the instrument in centimeters = minimum voltage that can be read by instrument /sensitivity of whole setup  There are 100 divisions to measure upto 5V.  So 1 division can read 5/100 = 0.05V Scale can read 1/5 of a division.  So minimum voltage that can be read = 0.05/5 ...
