Which of the following can be measured by the use of a tachogenerator ?
Correct answer: B. Speed
- A. Acceleration
- B. Speed
- C. Speed and acceleration
- D. Displacement
- E. None of the above
Explanation
A tachogenerator produces an output voltage proportional to angular velocity, so it is used to measure speed. Acceleration would require differentiating the speed signal or using a separate accelerometer.
