Answers

1. (c)
 
2.  (a) For an op-amp, the value of differential gain is very high in the order of 106 to 107 while the command mode gain is very less.
 
3.  (d) 

4. (b) An Astable multivibrator is a circuit that automatically switches between the two states continuously without the application of any external pulse for its operation, i.e. it has no stable state. As this produces a continuous square wave output, it is called a free-running multivibrator.


5. (c) There are some characteristics of 3-pin voltage regulators ICs which are given below,
  •     It has built-in all protection circuits
  •     It does not require any feedback connections
  •     It does not require any external component for normal operation
  •     It can provide fixed and adjustable positive and negative operations
  •     It can deliver output current more than 1 A
  •     It requires minimum heat sinking
  •     It can provide dual tracking voltages
  •     The design of a regulated DC power supply is very easy
  •     It is very easy to use
  •     It is conveniently used for local regulation
6. (c) Intermediate frequency (IF) is a frequency at which the received carrier frequency is shifted for detection of message signal. The IF is generated by mixing the received carrier with the locally generated signal. The IF is generated and is shifted to further amplifiers and detectors for amplification and detection of message signal respectively. In double-conversion super heterodyne receivers, an intermediate frequency of 10.7 MHz is used, and then a second intermediate frequency of 470 kHz is used.

7. (c) Control unit (CU), extracts instructions from memory and decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when necessary.
 

8. (d) In a DVM, signal conditioning circuit is used. It converts the input signal into an voltage of suitable limit. This is done so that the voltmeter can read the magnitude of the signal correctly.

9. (c)  In a digital voltmeter, a transducer is used. In general a transducer converts a physical quantity into an electrical signal. In a DVM the transducer converts the input signal into a proportional voltage.

10. (d) In Schmitt trigger, if the threshold voltage VUT and VLT are made larger than the input noise voltage. The positive feedback will eliminate the false output transition.

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...
