Measurements and Instrumentation Objectives

The document contains questions about various types of instruments used for measurement and instrumentation. An energy meter is identified as an integrating instrument that measures total energy used over time. Manganin is the material used for the swamping resistance in moving coil voltmeters to reduce errors. Ammeter ranges can be increased using shunts connected in parallel. Potential transformers are preferred for extending the range of AC voltmeters by providing a high resistance in parallel. High AC voltages are typically measured using potential transformers with voltmeters.
