🔍 Key Concepts

• Analog wattmeter and analog meter movements – where manufacturers typically specify the rated accuracy on the scale • Full‑scale accuracy rating – what the percentage accuracy quoted for a meter actually refers to • How the upper portion of the scale compares in accuracy to mid‑scale and lower‑scale readings

💭 Think About

• Think about where the pointer is easiest to read precisely: near zero, mid‑scale, or toward the top of the scale? How does that affect practical accuracy? • When a meter is rated, for example, ±2% of full scale, does that mean ±2% at every mark, or ±2% of the maximum value applied to any reading? • If the error is defined relative to full‑scale, what happens to the relative error when you read close to the bottom versus near the top of the scale?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how percentage of full‑scale error works: error band is based on the maximum scale value, not on the current pointer reading. • Confirm which portion of the scale (upper, middle, lower) gives the smallest percentage error relative to the actual reading. • Eliminate any choice that claims accuracy is uniform across the entire scale unless that matches how full‑scale percentage accuracy really behaves.

Question 1 of 20

On an analog wattmeter, what part of the scale is most accurate and how much does that accuracy extend to the rest of the reading scale?

The accuracy is only at full scale , and that absolute number reading is carried through to the rest of the range. The upper 1 / 3 of the meter is the only truly calibrated part.

The accuracy is constant throughout the entire range of the meter.

The accuracy is only there at the upper 5% of the meter, and is not carried through at any other reading.

The accuracy cannot be determined at any reading.
