Question

Incorrect statements regarding measurement are given :

A. Hot wire anemometer is used to measure displacement

B. Hall effect is used to measure current

C. LVDT is used to measure acceleration and gas flow

D. Piezoelectric Transducer is used to measure acceleration

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Electronic Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

A, B and C only

Let's analyze each statement regarding measurement to determine their correctness:

  1. Statement A: "Hot wire anemometer is used to measure displacement"
    This statement is incorrect. A hot wire anemometer is primarily used to measure fluid velocity. It works by correlating the heat loss from a heated wire to the velocity of the fluid flowing past it, not displacement.
  2. Statement B: "Hall effect is used to measure current"
    The Hall effect is used in magnetic field sensors to measure magnetic field strengths or flux density, which can indirectly be used to measure current when it generates a magnetic field. However, it is not primarily used for measuring current directly, making this statement partially true but misleading in the context of primary applications.
  3. Statement C: "LVDT is used to measure acceleration and gas flow"
    This statement is incorrect. An LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) measures linear displacement or position, not acceleration or gas flow. It is widely used in applications requiring precise measurements of linear movements.
  4. Statement D: "Piezoelectric Transducer is used to measure acceleration"
    This is a correct statement. Piezoelectric transducers are commonly utilized to measure dynamic parameters such as vibrations and acceleration. They generate an electrical charge in response to applied mechanical stress, which is indicative of motion or acceleration.

Based on the analysis above, the incorrect statements are A, B, and C. Thus, the correct option is A, B and C only.
