Question 3 |
The period of the signal x(t)=8 sin(0.8 \pi t+ \pi/4) is
0.4 \pi s | |
0.8 \pi s | |
1.25 s | |
2.5 s |
Question 3 Explanation:
If period = T, then x(t+T)=x(t)
Here, x(t)= 8 \sin(0.8 \pi t+\pi /4)
putting x(t+T)=x(t) we get
8 \sin(0.8\pi (t+T)+\pi /4)=8 \sin (0.8 \pi t+\pi /4)
\sin(0.8\pi (t+T)+\pi /4)= \sin (0.8 \pi t+ \pi /4)
\sin(\theta _1)=\sin(\theta _2)\Rightarrow \theta _1=\theta _2+2 \pi
\therefore \;\; 0.8\pi (t+T)+ \pi /4=0.8 \pi t+ \pi /4+2 \pi
0.8\pi T=2 \pi
T=2.5 s
Here, x(t)= 8 \sin(0.8 \pi t+\pi /4)
putting x(t+T)=x(t) we get
8 \sin(0.8\pi (t+T)+\pi /4)=8 \sin (0.8 \pi t+\pi /4)
\sin(0.8\pi (t+T)+\pi /4)= \sin (0.8 \pi t+ \pi /4)
\sin(\theta _1)=\sin(\theta _2)\Rightarrow \theta _1=\theta _2+2 \pi
\therefore \;\; 0.8\pi (t+T)+ \pi /4=0.8 \pi t+ \pi /4+2 \pi
0.8\pi T=2 \pi
T=2.5 s
Question 4 |

Causal but not linear | |
Neither liner nor causal |
Question 4 Explanation:
Integrator is always a linear system.
\begin{aligned} \text{Since, }y(t)&=\int_{-\infty }^{5t}x(\tau )d\tau \;\;t \gt 0 \\ &\text{For t=1,} \\ y(t)&= \int_{-\infty }^{5}x(\tau )d\tau \end{aligned}
here value at t=1 depends on future values like at t=2,3,... of input x(t).
So, it is a noncausal systems.

0A | |
1A | |
1.25A | |

Question 5 Explanation:
As the switch has been closed for a long time, the circuit is in steady state. At steadystate, capacitor is open circuit,

Using KVL,
5-I-4I=0 I=1A
V_c(0^-)=4 \times 1=4V
As the voltage across capacitorcan not change abruptly,
So, V_c(0^+)=V_c(0^-)=4V
Circuit at t=0^+

Current through capacitor at t=0^+
I_c(0^+)=\frac{4}{4}=1A

Using KVL,
5-I-4I=0 I=1A

Question 8 |
A wattmeter is connected as shown in figure. The wattmeter reads.

Zero always | |
Total power consumed by Z_1 \; and \; Z_2 | |
Power consumed by Z_1 | |
Power consumed by Z_2 |
Question 8 Explanation:

Potential coil draws negligible current. So current through Z_1 and Z_2 is same.
current through current coil =I_{cc}=I
Voltage across potential coil =V_{pc}
Voltage across Z_1=V_{pc}=V
Wattmeter reads power consumed by Z_2, as voltage across potential coil = Voltage across Z_2
Current through current coil = Current through Z_2.
Question 9 |
An ammeter has a current range of 0-5 A, and its internal resistance is 0.2 \Omega. In
order to change the range to 0-25 A, we need to add a resistance of
0.8 \Omega in series with the meter | |
1.0 \Omega in series with the meter | |
0.04 \Omega in parallel with the meter | |
0.05 \Omega in parallel with the meter |
Question 9 Explanation:
To extend the range of ammeter, a resistance R_{sh} is connected across the meter.

I_m= full scale deflection current=5A
I=25A
Multiplying power =m=\frac{I}{I_m}=\frac{25}{5}=5
I_m=\frac{IR_{sh}}{R_{sh}+R_m}
\frac{I}{I_m}=\frac{R_{sh}+R_m}{R_{sh}}
m=1+\frac{R_m}{R_{sh}}
R_{sh}=\frac{R_m}{m-1}=\frac{0.2}{5-1}=0.05

I_m= full scale deflection current=5A
I=25A
Multiplying power =m=\frac{I}{I_m}=\frac{25}{5}=5
I_m=\frac{IR_{sh}}{R_{sh}+R_m}
\frac{I}{I_m}=\frac{R_{sh}+R_m}{R_{sh}}
m=1+\frac{R_m}{R_{sh}}
R_{sh}=\frac{R_m}{m-1}=\frac{0.2}{5-1}=0.05
