If 24 V is applied across 4 Ω resistor then the current flowing through the resistor is
- 6 A
- 24 A
- 48 A
- 96 A
Correct Answer

A. 6 A

Explanation

According to Ohm's law, the current flowing through a resistor is equal to the voltage applied across it divided by the resistance. In this case, the voltage applied is 24 V and the resistance is 4 Ω. Therefore, the current flowing through the resistor can be calculated as 24 V / 4 Ω = 6 A.

The resistance values of three resistors R1, R2 & R3 are 1 Ω, 2 Ω & 4 Ω respectively. If these resistors are connected in series then the equivalent resistance value is
- 7/4 Ω
- 4/7 Ω
- 5/4 Ω
- 4/5 Ω
Correct Answer

A. 4/7 Ω

Explanation

When resistors are connected in series, their resistances add up to give the equivalent resistance. In this case, the resistors R1, R2, and R3 are connected in series, so the equivalent resistance is 1 Ω + 2 Ω + 4 Ω = 7 Ω. Therefore, the correct answer is 7/4 Ω.

In a digital computer binary subtraction is performed
- In the same way we perform subtraction in decimal number system
- Using 2’s complement method
- Using 9’s complement method
- Using 10’s complement method
Correct Answer

A. Using 2’s complement method

Explanation

In a digital computer, binary subtraction is performed using the 2's complement method. This method involves taking the 2's complement of the number being subtracted and then adding it to the other number. The 2's complement of a binary number is obtained by inverting all the bits and adding 1 to the least significant bit. This method allows for efficient subtraction in binary arithmetic, as it eliminates the need for separate addition and subtraction circuits.

Which of the following is linear element?
- Voltage Source
- Current Source
- Resistor
- None
Correct Answer

A. Resistor

Explanation

A linear element is one that follows Ohm's law, which states that the current passing through it is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it. A resistor is a passive electronic component that obeys Ohm's law, making it a linear element. In contrast, a voltage source and a current source are active elements that do not follow Ohm's law, and therefore, they are not linear elements. The option "none" is incorrect because a resistor is indeed a linear element.

_______ is defined as the time rate of flow of charge.
- Voltage
- Current
- Energy
- Power
Correct Answer

A. Current

Explanation

Current is defined as the time rate of flow of charge. It represents the movement of electric charge through a conductor per unit time. It is measured in amperes (A) and is essential for the operation of electrical circuits. Voltage, on the other hand, represents the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. Energy and power are related to the amount of work done or the rate at which work is done, respectively, and are not directly related to the flow of charge.

A. Parallel

Explanation

Two electrical elements are said to be in parallel only when the voltages across these elements are the same. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each element is equal because they are connected across the same two points. This is different from a series circuit where the voltage across each element may be different. Therefore, the correct answer is "Parallel".

The value of the resistance, R, connected across the terminals, A and B, (ref. Fig.) which will absorb the maximum power is
- 4 kΩ
- 5 kΩ
- 8 kΩ
- 10 kΩ
Correct Answer

A. 4 kΩ

Explanation

In a circuit, the power absorbed by a resistor is maximum when the resistance of the resistor is equal to the internal resistance of the source. In this case, the internal resistance is not given, so we can assume it to be negligible. Therefore, the resistance that will absorb the maximum power is the one with the same value as the load resistance, which is 4 kΩ.

The capacitance values of three capacitors C1, C2 & C3 are 1 F, 2 F & 3F respectively. If these capacitors are connected in parallel then the equivalent capacitance value is
- (6 / 11) F
- (11 / 6) F
- 6 F
- 2 F
Correct Answer

A. 6 F

Explanation

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances. In this case, the capacitance values of the three capacitors are 1 F, 2 F, and 3 F. Adding these values together gives a total capacitance of 6 F. Therefore, the equivalent capacitance value when the capacitors are connected in parallel is 6 F.

- 8
- 4
- 35
- 200
Correct Answer

A. 200

Explanation

The determinant of a product of two matrices is equal to the product of their determinants. Since the determinant of matrix A is 5 and the determinant of matrix B is 40, the determinant of the matrix AB can be found by multiplying these two values together. Therefore, the determinant of the matrix AB is 5 * 40 = 200.

In a practical voltage source, the terminal voltage
- Cannot be less than source voltage
- Cannot be higher than source voltage
- Is always equal to source voltage
- None
Correct Answer

A. Cannot be higher than source voltage

Explanation

In a practical voltage source, the terminal voltage cannot be higher than the source voltage. This is because there are always some losses in the source due to internal resistance, wire resistance, or other factors. These losses cause a drop in voltage between the source and the terminal, resulting in the terminal voltage being lower than the source voltage. Therefore, it is not possible for the terminal voltage to be higher than the source voltage in a practical voltage source.

If the network has an impedance of (1-j) Ω at a specific frequency, the circuit would consists of series combination of
- Resistor & Inductor
- Resistor & Capacitor
- Resistors
- None
Correct Answer

A. Resistor & Capacitor

Explanation

The network impedance of (1-j) Ω indicates that the circuit contains both resistance and reactance. A complex impedance with a non-zero imaginary part (in this case, -j) suggests the presence of a reactive component. Since a capacitor has an impedance that is purely imaginary, it can be combined with a resistor in series to create a circuit with an impedance of (1-j) Ω at the specific frequency. Therefore, the correct answer is Resistor & Capacitor.

If a signal f(t) has energy E, then energy of the signal f(2t) is equal to
- E/2
- E
- 2E
- 4E
Correct Answer

A. E/2

Explanation

When the signal f(t) is compressed by a factor of 2, the time axis is scaled by 2. This means that the signal is now being sampled at twice the rate. Since energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the signal, the energy of the compressed signal f(2t) is halved. Therefore, the energy of the signal f(2t) is equal to E/2.

Superposition theorem is based on the concept of
- Duality
- Reciprocity
- Linearity
- Non linearity
Correct Answer

A. Linearity

Explanation

Superposition theorem is based on the concept of linearity. Linearity refers to the property of a system where the output is directly proportional to the input. In the context of superposition theorem, it states that the response of a linear circuit to multiple independent sources can be calculated by considering the individual responses to each source separately and then adding them together. This principle is only applicable to linear circuits, where the relationship between voltage and current remains constant.

A delta connection contains 3 equal impedances of 60 Ω. The impedances of the equivalent star connection will be
- 15 Ω each
- 20 Ω each
- 30 Ω each
- 40 Ω each
Correct Answer

A. 20 Ω each

Explanation

In a delta connection, the impedances are equal to the impedance of each branch. Since the given delta connection contains 3 equal impedances of 60 Ω, the impedance of each branch is 60 Ω. To find the equivalent star connection, we divide the impedance of each branch by √3. Therefore, the impedances of the equivalent star connection will be 60 Ω / √3 = 20 Ω each.

_______ bit represents the sign bit of a signed binary number
- Right most
- Middle
- Left most
- None
Correct Answer

A. Left most

Explanation

The leftmost bit represents the sign bit of a signed binary number. In a signed binary representation, the leftmost bit is used to indicate whether the number is positive or negative. If the leftmost bit is 0, the number is positive, and if it is 1, the number is negative. Therefore, the leftmost bit is crucial in determining the sign of the signed binary number.

The trigonometric Fourier series of an even function of time does not have
- The dc term
- Cosine terms
- Sine terms
- Odd harmonic terms
Correct Answer

A. Sine terms

Explanation

The trigonometric Fourier series represents a periodic function as a sum of sinusoidal functions. An even function is symmetric about the y-axis, meaning it is unchanged when reflected across the y-axis. Since sine functions are odd (symmetric about the origin), they would cancel out when summed over a symmetric interval, resulting in a zero contribution. Therefore, an even function's trigonometric Fourier series would not have sine terms.

The feedback control system in Figure is stable
- For all K > Zero
- Only if K > 1
- Only if Zero < K < 1
- None
Correct Answer

A. Only if Zero < K < 1

Explanation

The given answer states that the feedback control system in the figure is stable only if the value of K is between zero and one. This means that if K is less than zero or greater than one, the system will not be stable. Stability in a feedback control system is crucial to ensure that the system operates properly and does not exhibit unstable behavior such as oscillations or diverging outputs. Therefore, it is necessary for the value of K to be within the range of zero to one for the system to be stable.

The logic expression f = ∑m (0, 6, 7) is equivalent to
- F = π M (0, 3, 6, 7)
- F = π M (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- F = ∑m (0, 1, 2, 3)
- F = ∑m (1, 2, 6, 7)
Correct Answer

A. F = π M (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Explanation

The given logic expression f = ∑m (0, 6, 7) is equivalent to f = π M (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). This is because the sum-of-minterms expression ∑m (0, 6, 7) represents the sum of minterms 0, 6, and 7. However, the product-of-maxterms expression π M (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) represents the product of maxterms 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. These two expressions are equivalent because the sum-of-minterms and product-of-maxterms forms are duals of each other, and the minterms and maxterms are complementary.

A. Short Circuit

Explanation

In steady state, the inductor behaves as a short circuit. This means that it allows the flow of current without any resistance. An inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field, and in a steady state, the current through the inductor remains constant. As a result, the inductor acts like a short circuit, allowing the current to flow through it easily.

_______ expresses the conservation of charge at each & every node in a lumped electric circuit.
- Ohm’s Law
- Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
- Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
- None
Correct Answer

A. Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)

Explanation

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) expresses the conservation of charge at each and every node in a lumped electric circuit. According to KCL, the sum of currents flowing into a node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node. This law is based on the principle of conservation of charge, which states that charge cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. Therefore, KCL ensures that the total current entering a node is equal to the total current leaving that node, thus conserving charge.

If 4 Ω resistor & 2 H inductor are connected in parallel then time constant of the circuit is
- 0.25 sec
- 0.5 sec
- 5 sec
- 8 sec
Correct Answer

A. 0.5 sec

Explanation

When a resistor and an inductor are connected in parallel, the total resistance of the circuit is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. In this case, the total resistance is 1/(1/4 + 1/2) = 2/3 Ω. The time constant of an RL circuit in parallel is given by the product of the total resistance and the inductance. Therefore, the time constant of the circuit is (2/3) * 2 = 4/3 sec, which is approximately equal to 0.5 sec.

What is the binary equivalent of the decimal number 368
- 101110000
- 110110000
- 111010000
- 111100000
Correct Answer

A. 101110000

Explanation

The binary equivalent of a decimal number is found by repeatedly dividing the decimal number by 2 and noting the remainder. Starting from the rightmost remainder, the binary number is formed by concatenating the remainders. In this case, when we divide 368 by 2, the remainder is 0. Dividing 184 (the result of the previous division) by 2 gives a remainder of 0 again. Continuing this process, we get the binary number 101110000.

The open-loop transfer function of a plant is given as G(s) = 1 / (s^2 - 1). If the plant is operated in a unity feedback configuration, then the lead compensator that can stabilize this control system is:
- 10 (s-1) / (s + 2)
- 10 (s+4) / (s + 2)
- 10 (s + 2) / (s + 10)
- 2 (s+2) / (s + 10)
Correct Answer

A. 10 (s-1) / (s + 2)

Explanation

The lead compensator is used to improve the stability and transient response of a control system. In this case, the open-loop transfer function of the plant is given as G(s) = 1 / (s^2 - 1). To stabilize the control system in unity feedback configuration, the lead compensator should have a transfer function that cancels out the unstable poles of the plant. The lead compensator 10 (s-1) / (s + 2) has a zero at s = 1 and a pole at s = -2, which cancels out the unstable pole at s = 1 in the plant's transfer function. Therefore, this lead compensator can stabilize the control system.

A 12V DC source with an internal resistance of 2 Ω can supply maximum power to the resistive load when the value of load resistor is
- 8 Ω
- 4 Ω
- 2 Ω
- 1 Ω
Correct Answer

A. 2 Ω

Explanation

When a DC source with internal resistance is connected to a resistive load, the maximum power is transferred when the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance of the source. In this case, the internal resistance is 2 Ω, so the load resistor should also be 2 Ω to maximize power transfer.

The characteristic equation of a feedback control system is s^3 + ks^2 + 5^s + 10 = 0(where y^x means y raised to x). The value of k for sustained oscillations & the corresponding frequency of oscillations (in rad/sec) are respectively given by
- 1, √2
- 2, √5
- 3, √7
- 04-05-15
Correct Answer

A. 2, √5

Explanation

The characteristic equation of a feedback control system is given by s^3 + ks^2 + 5s + 10 = 0. In order to have sustained oscillations, the system should have complex conjugate roots with a positive real part. This means that the discriminant of the characteristic equation, which is given by k^2 - 4(5), should be negative. Simplifying this inequality, we get k^2 < 20. The only option that satisfies this condition is k = 2. The corresponding frequency of oscillations can be found by taking the square root of the constant term in the characteristic equation, which is √5. Therefore, the correct answer is 2, √5.

The Nyquist plot for the open-loop transfer function G(s) of a unity negative feedback system is shown in figure. if G(s) has no pole in the right half of splane, the number of roots of the system characteristic equation in the right half of s-plane is
- Zero
- 1
- 2
- 3
Correct Answer

A. Zero

Explanation

The Nyquist plot shows the frequency response of the system. Since the Nyquist plot does not cross the negative real axis (right half of the s-plane), it indicates that there are no poles in the right half of the s-plane. The number of roots of the system characteristic equation in the right half of the s-plane is therefore zero.

_______ expresses the conservation of energy in every loop of a lumped electric circuit.
- Ohm’s Law
- Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
- Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
- None
Correct Answer

A. Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)

Explanation

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) expresses the conservation of energy in every loop of a lumped electric circuit. It states that the sum of the voltage drops across all the elements in a closed loop is equal to the sum of the voltage sources in that loop. This law is based on the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. KVL is used to analyze and solve complex electrical circuits by applying the law to each closed loop and using it to determine the unknown voltages.

- Only (i)
- Only (ii)
- Both (i) and (ii)
- None
Correct Answer

A. Only (ii)

Explanation

Passive elements are electrical components that do not generate or produce electrical energy on their own. Instead, they consume or receive energy from an external source, or they store energy temporarily. Therefore, statement (ii) is correct as it accurately describes the behavior of passive elements. Statement (i), on the other hand, is incorrect as passive elements do not generate or produce electrical energy.

At resonant frequency, the current flowing through series R-L-C circuit is
- Zero
- Minimum
- Maximum
- None
Correct Answer

A. Maximum

Explanation

At resonant frequency, the current flowing through a series R-L-C circuit is maximum. This is because at resonant frequency, the reactance of the inductor and the capacitor cancel out each other, resulting in a purely resistive circuit. In a purely resistive circuit, the current is only limited by the resistance, and therefore, it reaches its maximum value.

If I = 2 V^2 (Where V^2 is the square of V) , then the characteristics of current (I) & voltage (V) are
- Linear
- Non- Linear
- Passive
- Bilateral
Correct Answer

A. Non- Linear

Explanation

The given equation I = 2V^2 represents a non-linear relationship between current (I) and voltage (V). This can be determined by observing the exponent of 2 on V, which indicates that the relationship is quadratic rather than linear. In a linear relationship, the exponent would be 1, resulting in a simple proportional relationship between I and V. Therefore, the correct answer is non-linear.

- 2.93
- 2.63
- 2.83
- 3.23
Correct Answer

A. 2.83

Explanation

The given differential equation represents a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation for this differential equation is obtained by substituting y = e^(rt) into the equation, where r is a constant. By solving the characteristic equation, we can find the roots, which correspond to the natural frequencies of the system. In this case, the characteristic equation is r^2 + r + 8 = 0. By solving this equation, we find that the roots are complex conjugates with a real part of -0.5. The natural frequency is given by the absolute value of the real part of the roots, which is 0.5. Therefore, the natural frequency is 2.83 rad/sec.

- Unstable and not causal
Correct Answer

A. Stable but not causal

Explanation

The impulse response of a system is stable if it is absolutely summable, meaning that the sum of the absolute values of the impulse response is finite. In this case, the impulse response h[n] is given by h[n] = u[n + 3] + u[n - 2] - 2u[n - 7]. Since the unit step sequence u[n] is finite and bounded, the impulse response h[n] is also finite and bounded. Therefore, the system is stable. However, the system is not causal because it depends on future values of the input signal, as seen in the terms u[n+3]. Therefore, the correct answer is stable but not causal.
