    Question 6:
    I23 = 80%.16+4 = 16.8mA
    I27 = Sqrt(80%).16+ 4 = 18.3 mA

    So C is the correct answer not E ? Am I right ?

    Can anyone please explain how to do the 8th and 11th questions?

    In the 8th question, how are we determining whether the process is cooling down or warming up?

    In the 11th question, I am confused how the valve positioner works.
