(a) Isotropic
(b) Linear
(c) Homogenous
(d) Linear and homogenous.

4. One of these equations is not Maxwell’s equation for a static electromagnetic field in a linear homogeneous medium.
(a) ∇2A̅ = μ0J̅
(b) ∇.B̅ = 0
(c) ∇ x D̅ = 0
(d) ∮B̅.dl̅ = μ0I̅

(d) All of these

7. A charge Q is uniformly distributed throughout a sphere of radius a. Taking the potential at infinity is zero, the potential at r = b < a is
(a) - \int_\infty ^b {\frac{{Qr}}{{4\pi { \in _0}{a^3}}}dr}
(b) - \int_\infty ^b {\frac{Q}{{4\pi { \in _0}{r^2}}}dr}
(c) \int_\infty ^a {\frac{Q}{{4\pi { \in _0}{r^2}}}dr} - \int_a^b {\frac{{Qr}}{{4\pi { \in _0}{a^3}}}dr}
(d) \int_\infty ^a {\frac{Q}{{4\pi { \in _0}{r^2}}}dr}


Answers

1. (b)

2. (d) 
Hence, conservative.

3. (d)

4. (a) Maxwell equations are

In simpler forms, these are


5. (c) Transient Response of Control System: As the name suggests transient response of control system means changing so, this occurs mainly after two conditions and these two conditions are written as follows-
  • Just after switching ‘on’ the system that means at the time of application of an input signal to the system.
  • Just after any abnormal conditions. Abnormal conditions may include a sudden change in the load, short-circuiting etc.
6. (d) The network should be bilateral linear and time-invariant.

7. (a)

Meaning of AeSI withdrawing case from Delhi High Court and its implications for IEI

Image
There is breaking news - AeSI withdraws case from Delhi High Court on 27-05-2022. Does it mean that Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI)  is no more interested in conducting Section A and B exams and will only give membership? At first glance, it looks so. Fortunately, this conclusion is not true. To understand this let us go back to the past, just nine months back.  But first, let us understand what the problem is. The MHRD - AICTE in 2013 (and beyond), derecognised the equivalence criteria between engineering professional bodies (IEI, AeSI, IETE, IME, ICE and more such professional bodies) - Section A and Section B passed candidates, with that of B. Tech degree from an Indian University. In 2018, fresh admission was on hold as per the order given by Delhi High Court. Now, back to our story, AeSI came up with a better plan -  AeSI signed an MoU with Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science, Chennai (HITS)  in 2021. According to this MoU, students of Aeronautical Society who

AMIE aspirants are at crossroads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in the present scenario?

Image
  A lot of AMIE aspirants are at cross roads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in present scenario when fresh AMIE admissions and re-registration are suspended till further orders. The case is being fought in Delhi High Court and nobody knows the outcome. The social media is full of rumours which are void of substance. Under such a backdrop, a million-pound question is—should an AMIE aspirant, who is eligible to continue his AMIE, should stop or appear in whatever semesters left. Remember, stopping doing AMIE now may lead to loss of money and your hard core efforts. AMIE is still the cheapest option with so many advantages . You might have to spend many times more money joining AMIE in new protocol and with number of subjects almost double and practicals as many as 40! In our opinion, they must continue with it and try to finish their AMIE at the earliest. There is no harm in doing so as it is the lowest cost option for working aspirants. It would work as a fixed deposit—will benef
