Answers

1. (b)
Vo = Ad x Vid
= 105 x (1)
= 105 V
 
2. (b) Voltage regulation = (No load voltage – Full load voltage)/Full load voltage
VR = (100 - 80)/80 = 25%

3. An 8-bit ADC, for example, will require 256 comparators (2⁸ = 256).

4. (a)
Pt = Pc[1 + (μ2/2)]
Pc = Carrier Power
μ = Modulation index
 
5. (c) 
CMRR = 20log(Ad/Ac)
= 20log(Ad) - 20log(Ac)
= 48 - 2 = 46 dB
where  
Ad = differential voltage gain
Ac = common mode voltage gain
 
6.  (c) 
Non-inverting amplifier voltage gain = 20 dB
20 dB = 20 log10(Av)
Av = 10
gain × bandwidth = 1 MHz
∴ Bandwidth = 1 MHz/10
= 100 kHz
 
7.  (d) 
CE – CB → Cascode connection

CE– CC → Cascade connection

CC – CC → Darlington pair

Where, 
CE = Common Emitter, 
CC = Common Collector, 
CB = Common Base
  • The voltage gain of the amplifier can be increased by using cascading connection of individual stages
  • The Cascode connection is used to obtain large output impedance
  • Darlington Connection is used to obtain high current gain.
  • In a cascade amplifier, the overall gain is equal to the product of gains of individual amplifiers.
  • In cascaded connection, overall gain increases. Hence, bandwidth decreases.
  • Decreasing in bandwidth results increase in lower cut off-frequency and decrease in upper cut-off frequency.
8. (a)

9. (c)

10. (c)

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...
