Question 3 Explanation: 
f(t)=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 t)+\cos 2 t
frequency components are
\begin{aligned} f_{1}&=0 \\ f_{2}&=\frac{\omega_{2}}{2 \pi}=\frac{2}{2 \pi}=\frac{1}{\pi} \mathrm{Hz} \end{aligned}
Question 4
A fully charged mobile phone with a 12 V battery is good for a 10 minute talktime. Assume that, during the talk-time the battery delivers a constant current of 2 A and its voltage drops linearly from 12 V to 10 V as shown in the figure. How much energy does the battery deliver during this talk-time?
A
220J
B
12kJ
C
13.2kJ
D
14.4J

Question 4 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} P &=V I \\ \text { Energy } &=P \cdot t=V \cdot|t=(V . t)| \\ I &=2 \mathrm{A} \quad(\text { given }) \\ V \cdot t &=\text { Area under } V-t \text { curve } \\ V \cdot t &=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 600\right)+(10 \times 600) \\ &=600+6000 \\ V \cdot t &=6600 \\ E &=(6600) \times 2=13200=13.2 \mathrm{kJ} \end{aligned}
