(a) 8051 processor
(b) 8085 processor
(c) 8086 processor
(d) 8080 processor

Answers

1. (b) 

Different registers of 8085:
  • Accumulator: 8 Bit
  • Program Counter: 16 Bit
  • Stack Pointer: 16 Bit
  • B and C: 8 Bit each
  • D and E: 8 Bit each
  • H and L: 8 Bit each
  • W and Z: 8 Bit each (Temporary Internal Registers)

2. (a) Stacks in Data Structures is a linear type of data structure that follows the LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) principle and allows insertion and deletion operations from one end of the stack data structure, that is top.

3. (c) Each memory location has a physical address which is a code. The CPU can use the code to access the memory location.

4. (d) The process of fetching and executing instructions, one at a time, in the order of increasing addresses is known as straight-line sequencing. n instruction cycle (also known as the fetch–decode–execute cycle or the fetch-execute cycle) is the basic operational process of a computer. It is the process by which a computer retrieves a program instruction from its memory, determines what actions the instruction dictates, and carries out those actions. machine cycle.

5. (c) 2¹² = 4 KB

6. (a) 

7. (a) BIU takes care of all data and addresses transfers on the buses for the EU like sending addresses, fetching instructions from the memory, reading data from the ports and the memory as well as writing data to the ports and the memory. 

8. (b) CPL complements operand, leaving the result in the operand. If the operand is a single bit then the state of the bit will be reversed. If the operand is the Accumulator then all the bits in the Accumulator will be reversed.

9. (a) A non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is a type of hardware interrupt (or signal to the processor) that prioritizes a certain thread or process. Unlike other types of interrupts, the non-maskable interrupt cannot be ignored through the use of interrupt masking techniques. Common examples of non-maskable interrupts include types of internal system chipset errors, memory corruption problems, parity errors and high-level errors needing immediate attention.

10. (c) All x86 processors have pipelined structures.

Mechanics of Fluids (Solved Numerical Problems)

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. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Solution Surface tension, σ = 0.0725 N/m Pressure intensity, P = 0.02 N/m 2 P = 4σ/d Hence, the Diameter of the dropd = 4 x 0.0725/200 = 1.45 mm Numerical Find the surface tension in a soap bubble of 40 mm diameter when the inside pressure is 2.5 N/m² above atmospheric pressure. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Answer: 0.0125 N/m Numerical The pressure outside the droplet of water of diameter 0.04 mm is 10.32 N/cm² (atmospheric pressure). Calculate the pressure within the droplet if surface tension is given as 0.0725 N/m of water. (AMIE Summer 2023, 7 marks) Answer: 0.725 N/cm 2   Numerical An open lank contains water up to a depth of 2 m and above it an oil of specific gravity 0.9 for a depth of 1 m.

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...
