Question

aSuppose you have a Fluke 45 meter in front of you, and it has been in the lab for years. It is set to a medium resolution. The voltage being measured is exactly 2V DC. What is on the meter display, and what is the uncertainty value?

b) Suppose the Fluke 45 meter was to measure the DC voltage drop across the 4.7MÙ resistor. What value would be on the meter display?

c) Now assume that instead of DC, the signal were a 1kHz sine wave from a 6 VAC-rms source. What would the meter reading be?

Explanation / Answer

1)according to the DC voltage table, if the voltage to be measured is 2 volts, the given Fluke 45 meter will display 2.0000 volts with a resolution of 100 micro volts and accuracy/uncertainty of 0.025%+2 (because the meter has been in the lab for over an year)

2)Since the quantity being measured is DC voltage of 2 volts across the 4.7 Mega ohm resistor, the meter will still display 2.0000 volts with an uncertainty of 0.025%+2

3) 1kHz sine wave with 6 volt rms value. The meter will display the rms value of 6 volts with uncertainty/accurracy of 0.2%+10
