(c) Tangential
(d) Normal

Answers
  1. (d) I = ∫(V(t)/L)dt = ∫12t2dt = 4t3
  2. (a) VB = 10 V. Apply KCL at node A gives VA = 10 V ⇒ I = 0
  3. (b) Current sources can not be connected in series unless identical because in series all individual current sources have same values.
  4. (c) x(s) = ω/(s2 + ω2); If s2 + ω2 = s2 + 9 then ω2 = 9 ⇒ ω = 3 rad/sec
  5. (b)
  6. (c)
  7. (d) According to Gauss law, the electric field inside a conducting sphere is always zero irrespective of how much charge resides on its surface. Due to zero electric field inside a sphere, the electric flux inside a sphere is zero.
  8. (d) Grad (xi + yj + zk) = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. In other words, the gradient of any position vector is 3.
  9. (d)  Gauss law states that the electric flux passing through any closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by the surface. Thus, it is given by, ψ = ∫∫ D.ds= Q, where the divergence theorem computes the charge and flux, which are both the same.
  10. (b) It is any physical or imaginary closed surface around a charge which satisfies the following condition: D is everywhere either normal or tangential to the surface so that D.ds becomes either Dds or 0 respectively.

Numerical The surface Tension of water in contact with air at 20°C is 0.0725 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure. Calculate the diameter of the droplet of water.

Design of Electrical Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Important note There is something wrong with this question paper. It seems that instead of "Design of Electrical Systems" the IEI has given problems from "Electrical Machines". You should raise a complaint to director_eea@ieindia.org in this regard. Numerical A 120 V DC shunt motor draws a current of 200A. The armature resistance is 0.02 ohms and the shunt field resistance is 30 ohms. Find back emf. If the lap wound armature has 90 slots with 4 conductors per slots, at what speed will the motor run when flux per pole is 0.04 Wb?​ (AMIE Summer 2023, 8 marks) Solution The back EMF (E b ) of a DC motor can be calculated using the formula: E b = V - I a R a   Given: V = 120 V I a = 200 A R a = 0.02 ohms Substituting the values into the formula: E b = 120 − 200 × 0.02 = 120 − 4​ = 116 V Now, let's calculate the speed (N) at which the motor will run using the given flux per pole (φ p ). The formula to calculate the speed of a DC motor is: N = 60×E b /(P×φ p ) Wh...
