For a measurement, indicated value is 225 V while true value is 226 V. What will be the static error of instrument ?

  • A.1 V
  • B.–1 V
  • C.0.5 V
  • D.–0.5 V

Answer: B

The static error is –1 V, option (B).

Static error is the indicated (measured) value minus the true value:

\[ e = 225 - 226 = -1\ \text{V} \]

The negative sign says the instrument reads low. The opposite number, +1 V (option A), is the static correction, the amount that must be added to the reading to get the true value. The values of 0.5 V and –0.5 V do not follow from the given readings.
