(c) Timer 0 interrupt
(d) Timer 1 interrupt

6. What will be the content of the stack pointer of 8051 if it is reset?
(a) 00H
(b) 07H
(c) 08H
(d) FFH

7. In 8051 stack pointer is incremented by
(a) 1 if data is pushed onto the stack
(d) 1 if data is popped from the stack
(c) 2 if data is pushed onto the stack
(d) 2 if data is popped from the stack

(b) Port 1
(c) Port 2
(d) Port 3

9. In 8086 die size of the instruction queue is of
(a) One byte
(b) Three bytes
(c) Six bytes
(d) Eight bytes

10. In 8086 the size of the program counter is 16 bit and it can access the total memory of
(a) 2¹⁶ bytes
(b) 2²⁰ bytes
(c) 2³² bytes
(d) 2⁶⁴ bytes

Answers

1. (a) A crystal is connected at these two pins. The frequency is internally divided by two, therefore, to operate a system at 3 MHZ the crystal should have a frequency of 6 MHZ.

2. (c) It is used by microprocessors to detect whether a peripheral has completed (or is Ready for) the data transfer or not. The main function of this pin is to synchronize slower peripheral to the faster microprocessors. If the ready pin is high the microprocessor will complete the operation and proceeds for the next operation. If the ready pin is low the microprocessor will wait until it goes high.

3. (c) The instruction LDA 2400H will load the content of the memory location 2400H into the accumulator. In the code form, it is written as 3A, 00, 24.

4. (a) After ADD C accumulator becomes 01111010=7AH

5. INT0 (active low) and INT1 (active low) are two external interrupt inputs provided by 8051.

6. (b) When the 8051 is reset, the stack pointer is set to address 07h. This means the stack area will begin at address 08h.

7. (a) In the 8051, the stack pointer (SP) points to the last used location of the stack. When data is pushed onto the stack, the stack pointer (SP) is incremented by 1.

8. (b) P0 and P2 are assigned the address lines from A0 to A15 which are used for external interfacing to memory but only if needed. P1 offers no dual nature so it can be used only for input/output.

9. (c) In 8086 processors the Instruction fetch takes more time. If the queue size is more then the Bus Interface Unit will take more time to fill the queue. Hence only 6 bytes.

10. (b) Intel 8086 uses 20 address lines and 16 data- lines. It can directly address up to 2²⁰ = 1 Mbyte 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...
