It involves magnetism and electricity.
3Question 3.
What principle does an LVDT utilize?
- Mechanical pressure
- Electromagnetic induction
- Hydraulic force
Show hintHide hint
Think about how it measures displacement.
4Question 4.
True or False: LVDTs require physical contact to measure displacement.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the design of the sensor.
Question 5.
Given a bridge expansion design that utilizes an LVDT for monitoring, propose a setup that includes the positioning of the sensors for maximum effectiveness.
Show hintHide hint
Think about factors affecting the expansion.
Question 6.
An LVDT measures a linear displacement of 0.01 meters. If the output voltage changes linearly from 0 to 10V with the range from -0.02m to +0.02m, what is the displacement voltage at 0.01m?
Show hintHide hint
Use linear interpolation formula based on given ranges.
