What will be the number of tracks for the resolution of 11.25 degrees for an encoder?
(i) 4
(ii) 5
(iii) 6
(iv) 8

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer

Correct Option: (ii) 5

Explanation

Encoder resolution: Resolution=360°2n\text{Resolution} = \frac{360°}{2^{n}} where nn = number of tracks (bits).

Given resolution =11.25°= 11.25°:

2n=36011.25=322^{n} = \frac{360}{11.25} = 32

n=log⁡232=5n = \log_2 32 = 5

Final Answer

5 tracks → Option (ii) (32 positions).
