The primary coil of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is supplied with AC voltage as shown in the figure. The secondary coils are connected in series opposition and the output is measured using a true RMS voltmeter. The displacement
of the core is indicated in mm on a linear scale. At the null position
, the voltmeter reads 0 V. If the voltmeter reads 0.2 V for a displacement of
mm, then for a displacement of
mm, the voltmeter reading, in V, is
