Answers

1. (c) 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller built with 40 pins DIP (dual inline package). 8051 has internal RAM (128 Bytes) and ROM (4K Bytes). Of the 128-byte internal RAM, only 16 bytes are a bit-addressable. The rest must be accessed in byte format.

2. (a) 

3. (b) The 8051 has two timers, Timer 0 and Timer 1. They can be used as timers or as event counters. Both Timer 0 and Timer 1 are 16-bit wide. Since the 8051 follows an 8-bit architecture, each 16 bit is accessed as two separate registers of low-byte and high-byte.

4. (a) 

5. (d) 

6. (b) The 8086 architecture uses the concept of segmented memory. 8086 is able to address a memory capacity of 1  megabyte and it is byte organized. This 1-megabyte memory is divided into 16 logical segments. Each segment contains 64 Kbytes of memory.

7. Bus Interface Unit. The execution unit of the 8086 tells the BIU where to fetch instructions or data from, decodes instructions,  and executes instructions

8. (d) 
  • Maskable Interrupts are those which can be disabled or ignored by the microprocessor. These interrupts are either edge-triggered or level-triggered, so they can be disabled. INTR, RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5 are maskable interrupts in the 8085 microprocessors.
  • Non-Maskable Interrupts are those which cannot be disabled or ignored by microprocessors. TRAP is a non-maskable interrupt. It consists of both level as well as edge triggering and is used in critical power failure conditions.
9. (b) 
  • Non-Vectored Interrupts are those in which vector address is not predefined. The interrupting device gives the address of sub-routine for these interrupts. INTR is the only non-vectored interrupt in the 8085 microprocessor. Generally, it uses the address of software interrupts i.e. RST 0 to RST 7.
  • Vectored Interrupts are those which have fixed vector addresses (starting address of sub-routine) and after executing these, program control is transferred to that address.
10. (c) 8085 can access up to 64Kb, whereas 8086 can access up to 1 Mb of memory.

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.

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...
