Derive the expression for electrical-loading nonlinearity error (percentage) in a rotatory potentiometer in terms of the angular displacement, maximum displacement (stroke), potentiometer element resistance, and load resistance. Plot the percentage error as a function of the fractional displacement for the three cases: RL/RC = 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0

Answer:

The plot for percentage error as a function of fractional displacement ( [tex]\frac{R_{L} }{R_{C} }[/tex]) for the values of 0.1,1.0,10.0 is shown in image attached below.

Explanation:

Electrical loading non linearity error (percentage) is shown below.

[tex]E=\frac{(\frac{v_{o} }{v_{r} }-\frac{Q}{Q_{max} } )}{\frac{Q}{Q_{max} } }[/tex]×[tex]100[/tex]

where Q= displacement of the slider arm

[tex]Q_{max}=[/tex] maximum displacement of a stroke

[tex]\frac{v_{o} }{ v_{r} } =[/tex][tex]\frac{(\frac{Q}{Q_{max} }(\frac{R_{L} }{R_{C} } ) )}{(\frac{R_{L} }{R_{C} } ) +(\frac{Q}{Q_{max} })-(\frac{Q}{Q_{max} })^{2} }[/tex]

here [tex]R_{L}=load resistance[/tex]

[tex]R_{C}=[/tex]total resistance of potentiometer.

Now the nonlinearity error in percentage is

[tex]E=\frac{(\frac{(\frac{Q}{Q_{max} }(\frac{R_{L} }{R_{C} } ) )}{(\frac{R_{L} }{R_{C} } ) +(\frac{Q}{Q_{max} })-(\frac{Q}{Q_{max} })^{2} }-\frac{Q}{Q_{max} } )}{\frac{Q}{Q_{max} } }[/tex]×[tex]100[/tex]

The following attached file shows nonlinear error in percentage as a function of [tex]\frac{R_{L} }{R_{C} }[/tex]  displacement with given values 0.1, 1.0, 10.0. The plot is drawn using MATLAB.

The MATLAB code is given below.
