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)
