. Is defined as the measure or extent of amplitude variation about an un-modulated carrier.

In amplitude modulation (AM), the modulation index (also known as modulation depth) is defined as the
measure or extent of amplitude variation around an unmodulated carrier wave. The modulation index is a
crucial parameter that determines the amount of signal being modulated onto the carrier wave. It is
calculated as the ratio of the peak amplitude of the modulating signal to the peak amplitude of the carrier
signal.

When an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) goes into saturation, the gate-cathode junction is:

A. Forward biased

Explanation:
1. Forward Biasing of Gate-Cathode Junction:
 In an SCR, the gate is the control terminal. To turn the SCR on (trigger it into conduction), a
positive voltage is applied to the gate with respect to the cathode.
 This positive voltage forward biases the gate-cathode junction.
2. Saturation in SCR:
 Saturation in the context of an SCR refers to the condition where the SCR is fully turned on, and a
significant amount of current flows from the anode to the cathode.
 This occurs when the gate-cathode voltage exceeds the threshold level, allowing the SCR to
conduct.
3. Triggering Mechanism:
 Applying a forward bias to the gate-cathode junction reduces the potential barrier for the flow of
current from the anode to the cathode.
 Once the gate-cathode voltage exceeds the threshold (turn-on) voltage, the SCR enters saturation,
and current flows freely through the device.
4. Importance of Forward Biasing:
 Forward biasing the gate-cathode junction is essential for triggering the SCR into conduction.
 It provides the necessary conditions for the injection of minority carriers, facilitating the
establishment of a conducting path between the anode and cathode.
5. Reverse Biasing and Steady State:
 Reverse biasing the gate-cathode junction prevents the SCR from turning on. In the reverse-biased
state, the SCR remains in a blocking (non-conducting) state.
 In the steady state, the SCR may be off or on, depending on the gate-cathode voltage and the
triggering conditions.

In summary, the correct option is A. Forward biased, as forward biasing of the gate-cathode junction is a
fundamental requirement for triggering an SCR into saturation and allowing it to conduct current from
the anode to the cathode.
 Explanation:
The dropout to cut-off ratio is a parameter used to characterize the behavior of relays. It represents the
ratio of the coil current required to cause the relay to drop out (de-energize) compared to the coil current
required to activate the relay and bring it into the energized state. The formula for the dropout to cut-off
ratio (��/��DR/CO) is given by:

��/��=�drop-out�cut-offDR/CO=Icut-offIdrop-out

Here:

 �drop-outIdrop-out is the coil current at which the relay drops out (de-energizes).
 �cut-offIcut-off is the coil current at which the relay cuts off (activates).

The typical range for the dropout to cut-off ratio for most relays is around 0.4 to 0.6. This means that the
coil current required to release the relay (drop-out) is approximately 40% to 60% of the coil current
required to activate the relay (cut-off). The specific values within this range may vary depending on the
design and application of the relay.

Importance of Dropout to Cut-off Ratio:

1. Sensitivity and Stability:
 The ratio is an indicator of the relay's sensitivity. A lower dropout to cut-off ratio indicates higher
sensitivity.
 A moderate value in the range of 0.4 to 0.6 provides a balance between sensitivity and stability.
2. Stable Operation:
 Relays should operate reliably and consistently. The specified range ensures stable operation by
maintaining a reasonable difference between drop-out and cut-off currents.
3. Preventing Chattering:
 Chattering (rapid and repeated opening and closing) of a relay is undesirable. A proper dropout to
cut-off ratio helps prevent chattering by establishing a stable threshold for activation and
deactivation.
4. Optimizing Power Consumption:
 The ratio helps in optimizing the power consumption of the relay coil by ensuring that the relay
requires a reasonable amount of current to be energized or de-energized.

In summary, the dropout to cut-off ratio is an important parameter for relay design, and the typical range
of 0.4 to 0.6 is chosen to strike a balance between sensitivity, stability, and reliable operation in various
applications

A copper oxide rectifier allows current to flow through a meter in only one direction.

Explanation:
The correct option is:
 C. Rectifier

Rectifiers:

 Rectifiers are electronic devices designed to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) by
allowing the flow of current in only one direction.
 Copper oxide rectifiers are a type of rectifier that utilizes copper oxide (CuO) as a semiconductor material.
 Copper oxide rectifiers are often used in rectifier meters and rectifier circuits where the conversion of AC
to DC is required.

Why "Rectifier"?

 The term "rectifier" is derived from the Latin word "rectificare," meaning "to make right." In the context
of electronics, rectifiers "make right" the direction of current flow by converting AC to DC.
 Rectifiers typically use semiconductor devices like diodes (including copper oxide rectifiers) to achieve the
rectification process.

Other Options:

 Diac: A diac is a bidirectional semiconductor device that can trigger thyristors (SCRs) in both directions. It
is not a rectifier.
 Transistor: A transistor is a three-terminal semiconductor device used for amplification and switching. It is
not a rectifier.
 Voltmeter: A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure voltage in a circuit. It is not a rectifier.

In summary, the term "rectifier" specifically refers to a device that rectifies current, allowing it to flow in
one direction, and copper oxide rectifiers are a type of rectifier that utilizes copper oxide as a
semiconductor material in rectification applications.

There are two types of overload protection; instantaneous over current and A. A, Variable over current B.
Time over current C. Constant over current D. Delay feedback current explain

B. Time over current

Explanation:

In overload protection for electrical systems, two main types of protection mechanisms are commonly
used:

1. Instantaneous Overcurrent Protection:

 This type of protection responds immediately to an overcurrent condition by rapidly tripping the
circuit breaker or disconnecting the circuit. It is designed to provide quick and immediate response
to prevent damage to equipment or circuits due to a sudden surge in current.
2. Time Overcurrent Protection:
 Time overcurrent protection involves a delay mechanism that allows the system to tolerate short-
duration overcurrent conditions without tripping the protective devices. The delay is intentional
and is typically adjustable.
 If the overcurrent condition persists beyond the predetermined time delay, the protective device
will eventually trip to disconnect the circuit.

Options Explained:

 A. Variable overcurrent: This is not a standard term used in the context of overload protection. The
concept of variable overcurrent may refer to adjustable or variable settings for overcurrent protection.
 B. Time overcurrent: As explained above, time overcurrent protection involves a time delay before the
protective device responds to an overcurrent condition.
 C. Constant overcurrent: This term is not commonly used. Overcurrent protection is typically designed
with adjustable settings to accommodate variations in load conditions.
 D. Delay feedback current: This term is not a standard designation for a type of overload protection. The
concept of delay feedback may imply a feedback mechanism used in certain control systems.

In summary, the correct type of overload protection mentioned in the question is "Time overcurrent," as
it involves a delay mechanism before the protective device responds to overcurrent conditions.

Single sideband techniques are mostly employed for A. Conservation of transmitted power B.

ChatGPT

B. Conservation of transmitted bandwidth

Explanation:

Single Sideband (SSB) modulation is a technique employed in communication systems to conserve

transmitted bandwidth. The main idea behind SSB modulation is to transmit only one sideband of the
modulated signal, either the upper sideband (USB) or the lower sideband (LSB), along with the carrier
frequency.

Reasons for using Single Sideband:

1. Bandwidth Efficiency:
 SSB modulation is more bandwidth-efficient compared to double sideband (DSB) modulation.
  In DSB modulation, both the upper and lower sidebands are transmitted, effectively using twice
the bandwidth required for SSB modulation.
2. Conservation of Spectrum:
 By transmitting only one sideband, SSB reduces the amount of spectrum needed for
communication.
 This is particularly important in applications where the available frequency spectrum is limited.
3. Power Efficiency:
 SSB transmission can be more power-efficient because all the transmitted power is concentrated
in a single sideband.
 In DSB modulation, power is split between the two sidebands, resulting in potentially wasted
power in the carrier and the opposite sideband.
4. Long-Distance Communication:
 SSB modulation is often used in long-distance communication, especially in applications like
amateur radio, where efficient use of the available frequency spectrum is critical.

Options Explained:

 A. Conservation of transmitted power: While SSB modulation can be more power-efficient, its primary
advantage is in conserving bandwidth rather than power.
 B. Conservation of transmitted bandwidth: This is the correct answer. SSB modulation is mainly employed
to conserve the transmitted bandwidth.
 C. Conservation of transmitted power and bandwidth: The primary emphasis is on bandwidth
conservation, although some improvement in power efficiency is a secondary benefit.
 D. Improving the performance of frequency modulation: SSB modulation is a different modulation
technique from frequency modulation (FM). It is not used to improve the performance of FM.

In summary, Single Sideband (SSB) modulation is mostly employed for the conservation of transmitted
bandwidth, making it a preferred choice in applications where bandwidth efficiency is crucial.

how SSB works

Single Sideband (SSB) modulation is a technique used in communication systems to transmit information
more efficiently by conserving bandwidth. SSB modulation transmits only one sideband of the modulated
signal, either the upper sideband (USB) or the lower sideband (LSB), along with the carrier frequency.
Here's a general overview of how SSB works:

Basic Steps in SSB Modulation:

1. Message Signal:
 The information to be transmitted, often referred to as the message signal, is typically a baseband
signal containing audio or data.
2. Carrier Signal:
 A carrier signal is generated at a frequency much higher than the frequency of the message signal.
The carrier frequency is often chosen to be in the radio frequency (RF) range.
3. Amplitude Modulation (AM):
 Initially, the message signal is amplitude-modulated (AM) onto the carrier signal using a
conventional AM modulator.
 The amplitude modulation results in the creation of a double sideband (DSB) signal, which
includes both the upper and lower sidebands along with the carrier.
4. Frequency Conversion:
 The DSB signal is then subjected to a frequency conversion process. This involves shifting the
entire spectrum to move the carrier and one of the sidebands to a new frequency location.
5. Bandpass Filtering:
 After frequency conversion, a bandpass filter is applied to select either the upper sideband (USB)
or the lower sideband (LSB) while rejecting the other components.
 If the USB is selected, the LSB is filtered out, and vice versa.
6. Transmission:
 The selected sideband (USB or LSB) is transmitted along with the carrier frequency.
 The carrier frequency is often suppressed or greatly reduced in amplitude since its information is
contained in the sideband.

Advantages of SSB Modulation:

1. Bandwidth Efficiency:
 SSB modulation conserves bandwidth by transmitting only one sideband, reducing the required
spectrum.
 This is especially beneficial in applications where spectrum utilization is limited.
2. Power Efficiency:
 All the transmitted power is concentrated in a single sideband, making SSB modulation more
power-efficient compared to double sideband (DSB) modulation.
3. Improved Long-Distance Communication:
 SSB is often used in long-distance communication, as it allows for more efficient use of the
available frequency spectrum.

Demodulation of SSB Signal:

At the receiver, the SSB signal is demodulated by a process that involves frequency conversion, filtering,
and recovery of the original message signal.

In summary, SSB modulation works by transmitting only one sideband of the modulated signal along with
the carrier, allowing for efficient use of bandwidth and power in communication systems. The
demodulation process at the receiver involves selecting the desired sideband and recovering the original
message signal.
 2. Unguided propagation involves A. Propagation through computer LANs B. Propagation through
telephone channels C. Propagation through optical fiber D. Propagation through coaxial cable E. Free
space propagation explain it

E. Free space propagation

Explanation:

Unguided propagation, also known as free space propagation or wireless propagation, involves the
transmission of electromagnetic waves through free space without the use of any physical medium or
guide. This type of propagation is commonly associated with wireless communication systems. Let's
understand the options and why free space propagation is the correct choice:

1. Propagation through computer LANs:

 Local Area Networks (LANs) typically use guided propagation through physical media like twisted-
pair cables or optical fibers. It is not unguided propagation.
2. Propagation through telephone channels:
 Telephone channels often involve guided propagation through twisted-pair cables or, in modern
systems, through optical fibers. Free space propagation is not commonly used in traditional
telephone channels.
3. Propagation through optical fiber:
 Optical fibers are examples of guided propagation, where light signals are confined within the
fiber core. This is not unguided propagation.
4. Propagation through coaxial cable:
 Coaxial cables are examples of guided propagation. The signals are transmitted along the
conductive core and are confined within the cable.
5. Free space propagation:
 Free space propagation, or unguided propagation, involves the transmission of electromagnetic
waves through air or outer space without any physical medium guiding the waves.
 Wireless communication systems, such as radio and microwave communication, use free space
propagation for transmitting signals between antennas.

Examples of Free Space Propagation:

 Radio and television broadcasting

 Microwave communication links
 Satellite communication
 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication

In summary, unguided propagation, represented by free space propagation, is the correct choice as it
involves the transmission of electromagnetic waves through open space without the use of physical
guiding media.

A relay used for protection of motors against overload is A. Impedance relay B. Electromagnetic
attraction type C. Thermal relay ꞏ D. Buchholz's relay

C. Thermal relay

Explanation:

A relay used for the protection of motors against overload is typically a thermal relay. Here's an
explanation:

1. Thermal Relay:
 A thermal relay is a type of protective relay that operates based on the temperature rise caused
by current flow in the motor windings.
 When the motor experiences an overload condition, the current through the windings increases,
leading to an increase in temperature.
2. Operating Principle:
 The thermal relay is equipped with a bimetallic strip or other temperature-sensitive element.
 As the temperature of the motor windings rises due to overload, the bimetallic strip deforms,
causing the relay to trip and disconnect the motor from the power source.
3. Protection Against Overload:
 The primary function of a thermal relay is to provide protection against overloads by
disconnecting the motor when the temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold.
 Options Explained:

 A. Impedance relay: Impedance relays are more commonly used for protection against faults like short
circuits rather than overload conditions in motors.
 B. Electromagnetic attraction type: This type of relay is not specifically designed for motor overload
protection but may be used in other applications.
 C. Thermal relay: This is the correct answer. Thermal relays are commonly used for motor protection
against overloads.
 D. Buchholz's relay: Buchholz relay is typically used in oil-immersed transformers for the detection of
internal faults such as the generation of gas within the transformer oil. It is not directly related to motor
overload protection.

In summary, a thermal relay is the type of relay commonly used for the protection of motors against
overload conditions by monitoring the temperature rise in the motor windings

You
Due to velocity saturation, MOSFET enters in saturation region A. Before pinch off B. After pinch off C.
At pinch off D. at Q point E. After Q point

A. Before pinch off

Explanation:

In the context of MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors), velocity saturation

typically occurs before pinch-off. Here's an explanation of the options:

1. Before Pinch-Off:
 Velocity saturation is a phenomenon where carriers (electrons in an n-channel MOSFET or holes in
a p-channel MOSFET) attain their maximum velocity due to high electric fields within the channel.
 In a MOSFET, pinch-off refers to the point where the channel becomes fully depleted, and the flow
of current is significantly reduced. Velocity saturation occurs before pinch-off, and carriers
experience maximum velocity in the channel.
2. Options Explained:
 A. Before Pinch Off: This is the correct answer. Velocity saturation typically occurs before the
point of pinch-off in the channel.
 B. After Pinch Off: Velocity saturation generally occurs before the point of pinch-off, so it is not
"after" pinch-off.
 C. At Pinch Off: Velocity saturation occurs before pinch-off, so it is not "at" pinch-off.
 D. At Q Point: The Q point (operating point) of a MOSFET is a specific biasing condition. Velocity
saturation is not specifically associated with the Q point.
 E. After Q Point: Velocity saturation is generally considered before pinch-off and is not specifically
associated with being "after" the Q point.

In summary, velocity saturation in a MOSFET typically occurs before the point of pinch-off in the channel,
as carriers attain their maximum velocity due to high electric fields within the channel.
In a rotary converter A. Armature currents are DC only B. Armature currents are AC only C. Partly AC &
partly DC D. All Ans. C explain

In a rotary converter:

C. Partly AC & partly DC

 Explanation:

A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine that can convert alternating current (AC) to direct
current (DC) or vice versa. It operates on the principle of combining elements of both AC and DC
machines. Here's an explanation:

1. Functionality:
 A rotary converter consists of both an armature and a field winding.
 The armature is a rotating component that carries DC current, and the field winding produces a
magnetic field.
2. AC to DC Conversion:
 When the rotary converter is connected to an AC power source, it acts as an AC-to-DC converter.
 The AC input induces an AC voltage in the armature windings, which is then converted to DC by
the action of a commutator.
3. DC to AC Conversion:
 Conversely, when the rotary converter is connected to a DC power source, it functions as a DC-to-
AC converter.
 The DC input creates a DC voltage in the armature windings, and as the armature rotates, it cuts
through the magnetic field, inducing an AC voltage.
4. Combination of AC and DC:
 During operation, both AC and DC currents are present in different parts of the machine.
 The armature currents are partly DC (when connected to a DC source) and partly AC (when
connected to an AC source).
5. Versatility:
 Rotary converters were historically used in early power systems to provide DC power in areas
where only AC power was available or vice versa.

In summary, a rotary converter combines elements of both AC and DC machines, allowing it to convert
electrical power between AC and DC. Therefore, the armature currents in a rotary converter are partly AC
and partly DC, supporting its dual conversion capability.
A TRIAC, or Triode for Alternating Current, is a type of semiconductor device that belongs to the family of
thyristors. It is specifically designed for controlling AC power. The TRIAC is a three-terminal device that
can conduct current in both directions when triggered. It is often used in applications where phase
control of AC power is required, such as in dimmer switches for lighting control.

Key characteristics of a TRIAC:

1. Three Terminals: A TRIAC has three terminals: MT1 (Main Terminal 1), MT2 (Main Terminal 2), and Gate.
The two main terminals, MT1 and MT2, are connected in series with the load, and the gate terminal is
used for triggering.
2. Bidirectional Conduction: A significant feature of the TRIAC is its ability to conduct current in both
directions. It can control power during both positive and negative half-cycles of an AC waveform.
3. Triggering: The TRIAC is triggered into conduction by applying a gate current. Once triggered, it remains
conducting until the AC current naturally crosses zero (zero-crossing point), at which point the TRIAC
turns off.
4. Phase Control: TRIACs are commonly used for phase control applications, allowing the adjustment of
power delivered to a load by controlling the point in each AC half-cycle when the device starts to conduct.
5. Applications: TRIACs are widely used in dimmer switches for lighting control, motor speed control,
heating control, and other applications where precise control of AC power is needed.

It's important to note that the triggering of a TRIAC needs to be synchronized with the AC waveform, and
the device automatically turns off when the AC current crosses zero. This zero-crossing feature helps
minimize electrical interference and reduces stress on the device.

In summary, a TRIAC is a bidirectional semiconductor device used for controlling AC power in applications
requiring phase control or dimming.
Explain SCR
A Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is a type of semiconductor device classified as a thyristor. It is a three-
terminal device that is widely used for controlling electric power in various applications, particularly in
power electronics and electric power systems. The SCR is known for its ability to control high-power loads
using low-power control signals.

Key Features of an SCR:

1. Three Terminals:
 The SCR has three terminals: Anode (A), Cathode (K), and Gate (G).
 The anode and cathode terminals are used for the main current-carrying path, while the gate
terminal is used for triggering the SCR.
2. Unidirectional Conduction:
 The SCR conducts current only in one direction (from anode to cathode), similar to a diode.
 It is often used in applications where rectification of AC (Alternating Current) is required.
3. Triggering Mechanism:
 The SCR remains in the off state until triggered by a control signal applied to the gate terminal.
 Once triggered, the SCR enters the on state and allows current to flow from the anode to the
cathode.
4. Latch-up Behavior:
 The SCR exhibits a latch-up behavior, meaning that once it is triggered into the on state, it
continues to conduct even after the gate signal is removed until the current drops below a certain
threshold.
5. Applications:
 SCRs are used in various applications such as motor control, light dimming, power regulation,
rectification of AC to DC, and in high-voltage power systems.

SCR Operation:
 When a positive voltage is applied to the anode with respect to the cathode, and a small positive voltage
pulse is applied to the gate, the SCR becomes forward-biased and conducts current.
 Once the SCR is triggered into conduction, it continues to conduct until the current through it drops
below a certain level or the polarity of the applied voltage is reversed.

SCR Symbol:

Advantages:

 High current-carrying capability.

 Simple construction.
 Reliable for high-power applications.

Disadvantages:

 Once triggered, it needs external means to turn off.

 Limited to unidirectional conduction.

In summary, the SCR is a semiconductor device that allows controlled power flow in one direction, and it
plays a crucial role in various applications involving power control.

zeros
ChatGPT
ChatGPT
In the context of signals and systems, particularly in the field of signal processing, ROC (Region of
Convergence) is associated with the Z-transform. Poles and zeros are concepts related to the transfer
function of a system.

Poles and Zeros:

 Poles: Poles are the values of �z for which the transfer function becomes infinite. They are the roots of
the denominator polynomial in the transfer function.
 Zeros: Zeros are the values of �z for which the transfer function becomes zero. They are the roots of the
numerator polynomial in the transfer function.

Region of Convergence (ROC):

C. Critically damped

Explanation:

In control system analysis, the response of a system to a step input is often characterized by terms such
as underdamped, overdamped, and critically damped. These terms are related to the behavior of the
system's response.

1. Underdamped Response (Option A):

 An underdamped response is characterized by oscillations in the system's response.
 It is associated with a fast response, but it comes with the drawback of overshooting the final
steady-state value.
2. Overdamped Response (Option B):
 An overdamped response is characterized by a slow response without oscillations.
 It tends to be sluggish in reaching the final value without overshooting.
3. Critically Damped Response (Option C):
 A critically damped response is the fastest possible response without overshooting.
 It strikes a balance between achieving a fast response and avoiding oscillations or overshooting.
4. General Response (Option D):
 The general response includes all types of responses—underdamped, overdamped, and critically
damped.
 It doesn't provide specific information about the damping ratio or the behavior of the system.

Selection Criteria:
 The choice between underdamped, overdamped, and critically damped responses depends on the
desired characteristics of the system and the specific application requirements.

In Summary:

 Critically damped systems provide the fastest possible response without overshooting, making them
suitable for applications where a quick and stable response is crucial.
Fourier series representation of continuous signal requires ____ number of harmonically complex
components. A. N B. 2pi/ N C. n + N D. 1 E. Infinite explain

The correct answer is:

E. Infinite

Explanation:

The Fourier series representation of a continuous signal requires an infinite number of harmonically
complex components. The Fourier series expresses a periodic signal as the sum of an infinite series of sine
and cosine functions (harmonics) or complex exponential functions.

The general form of the Fourier series for a periodic signal �(�)x(t) with period �T is given by:

�(�)=�0+∑�=1∞(��cos⁡(2����)+��sin⁡(2����))x(t)=a0+∑n=1∞(ancos(T2πnt)+bn
sin(T2πnt))

Here:

 �0a0 is the DC component,

 ��an and ��bn are the coefficients of the harmonics,
 �n is the harmonic number.

The summation extends to infinity, which means that an infinite number of harmonic components are
needed to represent the periodic signal accurately.

The concept of using an infinite number of harmonics allows the representation of complex waveforms
with different shapes. In practical applications, the higher-order harmonics may have smaller amplitudes,
and often, a finite number of harmonics are used for practical calculations or signal processing.
LTI system is stable when A. Zero ls Inside a unit circle B. Poles are Inside a unit circle C. Zero at origin D.
Poles at origin explain it

The correct statement is:

B. Poles are inside a unit circle

 Explanation:

For a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system, stability is closely related to the locations of its poles in the
complex plane. In the context of discrete-time systems (which are often represented using z-transforms),
the unit circle plays a significant role in stability analysis.

1. Unit Circle in z-Plane:

 The unit circle in the z-plane is the set of points in the complex plane where ∣�∣=1∣z∣=1. In the
context of z-transforms, the unit circle is crucial for stability analysis.
2. Stability Criteria for Discrete-Time LTI Systems:
 For a discrete-time LTI system represented by a transfer function �(�)H(z), stability is
determined by the locations of the poles of �(�)H(z) in the z-plane.
 A discrete-time LTI system is considered stable if all its poles lie inside the unit circle. This
condition ensures that the system's response does not exhibit unbounded growth over time.

Regarding the Options:

 Option A is not accurate; the presence of zeros alone does not determine stability.
 Option B is correct; the statement reflects the stability criterion for discrete-time LTI systems, where
stability is achieved when poles are inside the unit circle.
 Option C is not a general stability criterion.
 Option D is not accurate; having poles at the origin (on the unit circle) may lead to marginal stability or
instability.

In summary, for discrete-time LTI systems, stability is typically ensured when all poles are located inside
the unit circle in the z-plane.

FIR filter can be designed to achieve A. Linear phase B. Inverting phase C. Non-inverting phase D. Both A &
B EXPLAIN
ChatGPT
ChatGPT

The correct option is:

A. Linear phase

Explanation:

FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters are a type of digital filter characterized by having a finite-duration
impulse response. One significant advantage of FIR filters is that they can be designed to achieve a linear
 phase response. Linear phase is a desirable characteristic in many applications, especially those where the
phase distortion introduced by the filter is a critical factor.

Linear Phase:

 In a linear phase FIR filter, all frequencies experience the same amount of phase delay. This means that
the phase response is a linear function of frequency. Linear phase filters preserve the shape of the input
signal waveform without causing distortion due to phase variations.
JFET has main drawback of A. Having low input impedance B. Noise distortion C. Having small gain-
bandwidth product D. None Ans. C EXPLAIN IT

The correct answer is:

C. Having a small gain-bandwidth product

Explanation:

A Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) is a type of transistor that uses electric fields to control the
conductivity of a semiconductor channel. The gain-bandwidth product is a parameter that characterizes
the relationship between the bandwidth and voltage gain of a transistor.

 Gain-Bandwidth Product:
 The gain-bandwidth product is a figure of merit for amplifiers, indicating the trade-off between
the gain and the bandwidth. It is the product of the voltage gain and the bandwidth.
 In the context of JFETs, a small gain-bandwidth product implies limitations on both the achievable
voltage gain and the bandwidth. It means that the transistor may not provide high gain over a
broad frequency range.
 Drawback of JFET:
 The main drawback of a JFET, as mentioned in the question, is having a small gain-bandwidth
product.
 While JFETs have advantages such as high input impedance and low noise, the limited gain-
bandwidth product restricts their performance in applications that require both high gain and a
wide frequency response.
Resolution of ADC is defined as the no of bits In Output B. Input C. I/O D. None EXPLAIN

The correct answer is:

B. Input

Explanation:

The resolution of an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is defined as the number of bits in the output. In
other words, it represents the number of binary digits (bits) used to represent the digital output of the
ADC. The resolution determines the smallest change in the input signal that can be detected by the ADC.
 For example, if an ADC has a resolution of �n bits, it can represent the analog input signal with 2�2n
discrete levels. The higher the resolution, the finer the granularity in representing the input signal.

Options Explained:

 Option A (No of bits in Output): This is not correct. Resolution refers to the number of bits in the digital
output, not the input.
 Option B (No of bits in Input): Correct. Resolution is defined by the number of bits used to represent the
digital output of the ADC.
 Option C (I/O): I/O generally refers to Input/Output, but in the context of ADC resolution, it specifically
refers to the digital output.
 Option D (None): The correct option is B, as the resolution is indeed defined by the number of bits in the
digital output.

In summary, the resolution of an AD

If ROC (Region of convergence) does not include unit circle then A. Fourier transforme converges B. Z-
transforme converges C. Harley transforme converges D. Chirplet transforme converges EXPLAIN IT
ChatGPT
ChatGPT

The correct statement is:

B. Z-transform converges

Explanation:

The Region of Convergence (ROC) is a critical concept in the context of the Z-transform, which is
commonly used for discrete-time signals and systems. The ROC is a set of values in the complex z-plane
for which the Z-transform converges. The Z-transform is defined as a sum over discrete-time signals, and
its convergence depends on the values of the complex variable �z.

 Options Explained:
 Option A (Fourier transform converges): The Fourier transform is a transform used for continuous-
time signals, and its convergence is not directly related to the ROC.
 Option B (Z-transform converges): Correct. The ROC determines the convergence of the Z-
transform.
 Option C (Hartley transform converges): The Hartley transform is another transform for
continuous-time signals, and its convergence is not determined by the ROC.
 Option D (Chirplet transform converges): The Chirplet transform is a specialized transform and
does not directly relate to the concept of ROC in the Z-transform.

Additional Information:
 The Z-transform is given by �(�)=∑�=−∞∞�[�]�−�X(z)=∑n=−∞∞x[n]z−n.
 The ROC is the set of values of �z for which the series converges.
 If the ROC does not include the unit circle in the z-plane, it means that the Z-transform converges for
values of �z outside the unit circle.

In summary, the correct option is B. If the ROC of a Z-transform does not include the unit circle, the Z-
transform converges for values of �z outside the unit circle.

ChatGPT
ChatGPT

The correct answer is:

A. Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)

Explanation:

TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) is a type of digital circuit that uses bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) for
its implementation. TTL is a popular logic family characterized by its simplicity, speed, and compatibility
with other TTL devices. It is widely used in digital electronics and has been historically popular in the
design of integrated circuits.

Key Points:

(Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) uses field-effect transistors (FETs). CMOS is known for its
low power consumption and is often used in modern integrated circuits.
 Complementary Symmetry Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CSMOS): This option is not directly related to
TTL. CMOS is the more common term associated with complementary symmetry and metal-oxide-
semiconductor technology.
 None: The correct answer specifies that TTL uses Bipolar Junction Transistors, so "None" is not applicable.

In summary, the integration of TTL chips involves the use of Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) as the main
active components in the logic gates and circuits.

Which of the following is semi controlled power switch? A. Thyristor B. Transistor C. Diode D. All
ChatGPT
ChatGPT
The correct answer is A. Thyristor.

A thyristor is a semiconductor device that acts as a semi-controlled power switch. It can only be turned on
by a gate signal, but once it's turned on, it will continue to conduct even if the gate signal is removed until
the current flowing through it drops below a certain threshold or until the voltage across it is reversed.

Transistors and diodes can also be used as power switches, but they are typically considered fully
controlled devices, as they can be turned on and off more freely through the control of the base current
(for transistors) or the voltage across the diode.

So, the correct answer is not D. All. It's specifically A. Thyristor.

A substation without a transformer, where there is no step up or step down voltage transformation and it
operates at only a single voltage level, is known as a:
A. **Switching Substation**

Switching substations are used to switch the power lines and connect/disconnect parts of the network for
maintenance or operational purposes without changing the voltage level.

So the correct answer is:

The short-circuit current of an induction motor remains unchanged when the length of the air gap is
increased because it is primarily influenced by the resistance and reactance of the motor windings. The
air gap length mainly affects the magnetizing current, which is responsible for establishing the magnetic
field in the motor. When the air gap is larger, the magnetic reluctance increases, necessitating more
magnetizing current to maintain the field strength. However, this change does not significantly impact the
short-circuit current. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! 😊

In control systems, feedback plays a crucial role in determining system behavior. Let’s break down the
effects of feedback on stability and gain:

1. Effect of Feedback on Stability:

o A system is considered stable when its output remains under control. Stability ensures that
the system response doesn’t diverge or oscillate uncontrollably.
o With negative feedback, the overall gain of a closed-loop control system is given by: [ \
text{Overall Gain} = \frac{G}{1 + GH} ]
o If the value of (1 + GH) is less than 1, the overall gain increases, contributing to system
stability. Conversely, if (1 + GH) exceeds 1, instability may occur1.
2. Effect of Feedback on Gain:
o The total gain in a control system represents the ratio of the output to the input.
o In systems with feedback, the controller continuously adjusts the input based on the
difference between the desired output (setpoint) and the actual output (measured by a
sensor).
o The presence of feedback can significantly impact the overall gain of the system 2.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. System stability as well as gain increases. Feedback helps maintain
stability while adjusting the gain to achieve desired performance. If you have any more questions, feel
free to ask! 😊

The electrostatic potential inside a hollow conductor is constant1. Let me explain why:

1. Electric Field Inside a Conductor:

o Inside a conductor, the electric field is always zero.
 oThis is due to the rearrangement of charges on the surface of the conductor when excess
charge is placed on it.
o The charges redistribute themselves to cancel out any internal electric field.
o As a result, the electric potential remains constant throughout the interior of the
conductor.
2. Work Done and Potential Difference:
o Since the electric field is zero, no work is done in moving a point charge inside the hollow
spherical conductor.
o Therefore, the potential difference between any two points inside or on the surface of the
conductor is zero.

Hence, the correct answer is A. Constant. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! 😊1.

In Frequency Modulation (FM), the total power of the transmitted signal is primarily determined by the
carrier amplitude and remains constant regardless of changes in the modulation index. The modulation

An Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a crucial component of the central processing unit (CPU) responsible for
performing arithmetic and logical operations. Let’s break down the given options:

1. AND Operation:
o The ALU performs the AND operation, which outputs true (1) only when both input bits are
true (1).
o So, the ALU can handle AND operations.
2. OR Operation:
o The ALU also performs the OR operation, which outputs true (1) when at least one of the
input bits is true (1).
o Therefore, the ALU can handle OR operations.
3. XOR Operation:
o The ALU handles the XOR (exclusive OR) operation, which outputs true (1) when the input
bits are different.
o Hence, the ALU can perform XOR operations.
4. NAND Operation:
o The NAND operation is the logical negation of the AND operation.
o The ALU can indeed perform NAND operations.

Therefore, the operation not performed by the ALU is D. NAND. If you have any more questions, feel free

A signal is classified as either an energy signal or a power signal based on specific characteristics. Let’s
break down the definitions:

1. Energy Signal:
o An energy signal is one whose total energy (E) is finite.
o Mathematically, for an energy signal: [ 0 < E < \infty ]
o Energy signals are typically nonperiodic.
2. Power Signal:
o A power signal is one whose average power (P) is finite.
o Mathematically, for a power signal: [ 0 < P < \infty ]
o Power signals can be periodic.
3. Answer:
o The correct definition for a power signal is C. It has infinite energy but non-zero power (0
< P < ∞) for all time.

Remember that energy and power signals are mutually exclusive—no signal can be both an energy signal
and a power signal simultaneously. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! 😊123

The purpose of a transfer function is to model the relationship between the input and output of a
system, sub-system, or component. Specifically, it helps explain how the input signal transforms into the
output signal. In other words, if we denote the input as (X(f)) and the output as (Y(f)), the transfer
function (H(f)) satisfies:
[ Y(f) = H(f) \cdot X(f) ]

For linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, a single tone of frequency (f) at the input results in a single tone of
the same frequency at the output1. Therefore, the correct answer is C. System is stable BIBO (bounded-
input bounded-output). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! 😊

The primary and secondary induced EMFs (E₁ and E₂) in a two-winding transformer are in phase with each

I appreciate your curiosity! Let’s delve into the behavior of a synchronous motor when the load is
suddenly thrown off.

1. Initial Condition:
o A synchronous motor runs at a constant synchronous speed, which depends on the supply
frequency.
o Initially, the motor operates with a leading power factor.
o The rotor speed matches the synchronous speed, and the rotor poles align with the
rotating magnetic field (RMF).
2. Load Removal:
o When the load from the shaft is suddenly thrown off, the rotor poles experience inertia.
o Due to this inertia, the rotor momentarily lags behind the poles of the RMF.
 o However, the synchronous motor continues to work as a motor despite the momentary
lag.
3. Effect on Torque Angle and Current:
o The load angle (α), which represents the angle by which the rotor pole axis lags behind the
stator pole axis, increases.
o As α increases, the resultant voltage (E_r) also increases, leading to an increase in the
armature current (I_a) drawn from the supply.
4. Stability and Pull-Out Torque:
o The synchronous motor remains stable and continues to run at synchronous speed.
o There is a limit to the mechanical load that can be applied to a synchronous motor.
o As the load increases, the torque angle (δ) also increases.
o Beyond a certain point, the rotor can be pulled out of synchronism, causing the motor to
stop.
o The pull-out torque represents the maximum torque a synchronous motor can develop
without losing synchronism12.

In summary, the synchronous motor maintains its synchronous speed even when the load is suddenly
removed, demonstrating its unique behavior compared to DC motors or induction motors. 😊🔌🏭

o Scale: Indicates the relationship between input quantity and display value.
o Sensitivity: Change in output per unit change in input.
5. Errors and Compensation:
o Errors due to manufacturing tolerances, environmental conditions, and aging.
o Calibration and compensation techniques minimize errors.

Remember, indicating instruments play a crucial role in various industries where real-time measurements
matter! 😊📏🔍
 When a transformer is on open circuit, meaning there is no load connected to its secondary winding, the
only power consumed is the core losses (eddy current and hysteresis losses) and the copper losses (due
to the winding resistance).

Let's consider the efficiency equation of a transformer:

Efficiency(𝜂) = Output Power/Output Power + Losses

When the transformer is on open circuit:

 The output power is zero because there is no load connected.

 The losses include only core losses and copper losses, as there is no load current flowing through the
transformer.

Therefore, the efficiency of the transformer under open circuit conditions is given by:
 %η=0+Losses/0=0%

So, the correct answer is:

A. Zero

Explanation:

 There is no useful output power when the transformer is on open circuit.

 The losses (core losses and copper losses) are still present.
 Therefore, the efficiency is zero under open circuit conditions.

In large power transformers, the best utilization of available core space depends on the cross-sectional
design. Let’s explore the options:

1. Rectangular Core Section:

o A rectangular core has two vertical limbs and two horizontal yokes.
o It provides flexibility in accommodating different winding arrangements.
o Commonly used for medium-sized transformers.
2. Square Core Section:
o A square core has equal dimensions for all sides.
o It simplifies winding arrangements but may not fully utilize core space.
3. Stepped Core Section:
o A stepped core has varying dimensions (larger at the center, tapering towards the ends).
o It optimizes core utilization by minimizing excess steel.
o Used in large power transformers for efficient flux linking.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Stepped core section. It balances core losses and
winding considerations, ensuring efficient performance. 😊🔌🏭

In a pulse triggering system for Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs), the duration of the pulse should be
sufficient to ensure proper turn-on and turn-off of the SCR. This duration is typically specified to ensure
reliable switching and avoid false triggering or insufficient triggering.

The minimum duration of the pulse required for triggering SCRs depends on various factors including the
characteristics of the SCR, the circuit configuration, and the specific application requirements. However, a
commonly accepted guideline is that the pulse duration should be at least several times longer than the
turn-on and turn-off times of the SCR to ensure reliable operation.

A pulse duration of at least 10 microseconds is often considered suitable for triggering SCRs reliably in
many applications. This duration allows sufficient time for the SCR to turn on or off properly without
causing issues like incomplete switching or unwanted triggering.

So, the correct answer is D. 10 microseconds.

The electric field intensity on an equipotential surface is:

D. Perpendicular to surface

Equipotential surfaces are surfaces on which the potential is the same at every point. Since no work is
done in moving a charge along an equipotential surface, the electric field must be perpendicular to these
surfaces.

If the electric field had any component parallel to the surface, it would do work on a charge moving along
the surface, contradicting the definition of an equipotential surface.

First, let's determine the electrical power output of the DC generator. The power output (P) can
be calculated using the formula:

𝑃=𝑉×𝐼P=V×I
 where:

 𝑉V is the voltage (120 V)

 𝐼I is the current (32.2 A)

𝑃=120 V×32.2 A=3864 WP=120V×32.2A=3864W

This is the power output of the generator in watts (Joules per second).

Next, let's calculate the energy delivered by the generator per minute. Since power is the rate at
which energy is delivered, we multiply the power by the time in seconds to find the energy:

Energy delivered per minute=𝑃×60s

Energy delivered per minute=3864 W×60 s=231840 Now, we need to check the options to
match the calculation:

None of the given options (20060 J, 20160 J, 23060 J, 25060 J) match the correct calculated
energy.

However, if there was a misunderstanding in the problem's context, such as asking about energy
lost or used up, then it might align differently. But as per the calculation based on the given data
and proper method, the correct energy delivered by the generator per minute is indeed:

231840 J231840J

A voltmeter using a thermocouple measures the:

B. RMS value

Here's an explanation:

 Thermocouple voltmeters operate based on the heating effect of the current. The thermocouple
generates a voltage proportional to the temperature, which in turn is proportional to the power
dissipated (which depends on the RMS value of the current or voltage).
 RMS (Root Mean Square) value is the effective value of the AC voltage or current, representing
the equivalent DC value that would produce the same heating effect.

Therefore, a voltmeter using a thermocouple provides a reading corresponding to the RMS value
of the measured voltage.

Mutual Inductance:

The mutual inductance between two coils is zero when

the fluxes produced by them are at right angles to
each other1.

Mutual inductance depends on the relative positioning

of the two coils2. If the two coils are positioned such
that their magnetic fields are perpendicular to each
other, the magnetic flux generated by one coil does not
1
interact with the other coil . As a result, no current is induced in the other coil, and the mutual inductance is
zero1.

So, the correct answer to your question is C. Are at right angle to each other. If you have any more

or responds to an input signal, typically from the environment2.
 An actuator is also a type of transducer that converts electrical signals into physical actions or

The correct answer is D. Magnetic field12345.

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero

resistance when they are cooled below a certain temperature. This
means that they can carry electric current without any energy loss,
which makes them very useful for a wide range of applications in areas
such as power generation, medical imaging, and transportation1234.

One of the key applications of superconductors is in the generation of

strong magnetic fields12345. For instance, superconductors are used to
create powerful electromagnets in MRI scanners124. These conductors
are used to transmit power for long distances4. They are also used in
particle accelerators, where the supercurrents that flow through the superconductors generate an intense
magnetic field, through electromagnetic induction, that can be used to accelerate and direct the team as
desired5.

So, the correct answer to your question is D. Magnetic field.

The correct answer is B. Repelling magnetic field.

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when they are cooled below
a certain temperature12. One of the key properties of superconductors is the Meissner effect, which is the
complete expulsion of magnetic fields from the interior of the superconductor12. This means that
superconductors have the property of repelling magnetic fields12.
The stability of an LC tuned circuit depends on A. Quality factor12.

The quality factor (Q) of an LC circuit is a measure of the “quality” or efficiency of the circuit. A higher Q
indicates a lower rate of energy loss relative to the stored energy of the resonator; the oscillations die out
more slowly. A lower Q indicates a higher rate of energy loss1.

In an LC oscillator circuit, the tank circuit (formed by the inductor and capacitor) gets loaded due to the
low base-emitter resistance, which reduces its Q and causes drift in oscillator frequency2. Thus, the
stability of the LC tuned circuit is directly related to its quality factor 12.

So, the correct answer to your question is A. Quality factor.

Explore

The correct answer is D. Increase its channel

resistance12.

In a Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET), when a

reverse bias is applied to the gate, the width of the
depletion layer between the gate region and the
channel increases12. This increase in the depletion
layer width effectively increases the resistance of the conduction channel12. As a result, the flow of current
from the source to the drain decreases12.

So, the correct answer to your question is D. Increase its channel resistance.

XC = 1/2pifl

where:

 f is the frequency,
 L is the inductance, and
 C is the capacitance1.

The inductive reactance (XL) is positive because it is associated with the magnetic field surrounding a
wire or a coil carrying current2. As the frequency increases, the inductive reactance also increases32.

The capacitive reactance (XC) is often considered negative because it is associated with the electric field
that keeps changing between two conducting plates or surfaces that are kept apart from each other by some
insulating medium4. As the frequency increases, the capacitive reactance decreases3.

This difference in sign is due to the 90-degree phase difference between voltage and current in a capacitive
circuit4. This causes the two quantities to behave differently mathematically4.

So, inductive reactance is considered positive and capacitive reactance is considered negative 51324. If you

The configuration that can be used to convert high impedance into low impedance by using an
operational amplifier (op-amp) is:

D. Voltage follower

Explanation:

 A voltage follower, also known as a buffer amplifier, is a configuration of an op-amp where the
output voltage follows the input voltage.
 The voltage follower has a very high input impedance and a very low output impedance.
 When a high impedance source is connected to the input of a voltage follower, the high
impedance is reflected at the input of the op-amp, while the low output impedance of the
voltage follower provides a low impedance output signal.
 This makes the voltage follower ideal for impedance matching applications, where a high
impedance source needs to drive a low impedance load without affecting the source signal.
Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. Voltage follower

The correct answer is C. High123.

The Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) is a measure of an amplifier’s ability to reject common-
mode signals, which are signals that appear on both inputs of the amplifier123. A high CMRR indicates that
the amplifier is effective at rejecting these signals and reducing noise123.

So, for better noise cancellation in an operational amplifier (Op-Amp), the CMRR should be high 123. If you

The VI characteristics of a Unijunction Transistor (UJT) are B. Similar to tunnel diode in some respects.

The UJT has a unique characteristic curve that is somewhat similar to a tunnel diode 12. The curve shows the
relationship between the emitter voltage (VE) and the emitter current (IE) of a UJT at a given voltage VBB
between the bases12.

The curve has a negative resistance region, which is stable enough to be used with a great deal of
reliability in many areas such as trigger circuits, saw-tooth generators, and timing circuits12. This negative
resistance region is similar to the negative resistance region observed in the VI characteristics of a tunnel
diode12.

So, the correct answer to your question is B. Similar to tunnel diode in some respects. If you have any
more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! 😊

Buck Converter12: A Buck Converter, also known as a step-down converter, is a DC-to-DC converter that
decreases voltage while increasing current from its input to its output2. It’s a type of switched-mode power
supply (SMPS) that uses a few transistor switches and an inductor1. The working of a buck converter can
be broken down into a few steps1:

1. The switch turns on and lets current flow to the output capacitor, charging it up.
2. The switch turns off. The inductor resists changes in current, causing the diode to become forward-
biased and allowing current to continue flowing to the output capacitor1.

Boost Converter34: A Boost Converter, also known as a step-up converter, is a DC-to-DC converter that
increases voltage while decreasing current from its input to its output4. It’s also a type of SMPS and
consists of an inductor, a semiconductor switch, a diode, and a capacitor3. The working of a boost converter
can be broken down into a few steps3:

1. The switch turns on, diverting all the current through the inductor and the switch. The output
capacitor stays charged since it can’t discharge through the now back-biased diode3.
2. The switch turns off. The inductor’s magnetic field collapses, releasing the stored energy back to
the circuit as an increased voltage3.

Both converters operate by rapidly switching the transistor on and off, which is why they’re called switch
mode converters13. They offer high efficiency, often over 90%, making them useful for tasks such as
converting a computer’s main supply voltage to lower voltages needed by USB, DRAM, and the CPU23.
Please note that designing and working with these converters requires a good understanding of electronics
and safety precautions should always be taken. If you’re not sure, it’s best to seek help from a professional.

The correct answer is B. Power factor is unity12.

In a parallel resonance RLC circuit, the impedance is at its maximum, not minimum 12. This is because the
inductive reactance and capacitive reactance cancel each other out, making the circuit behave like a purely
resistive circuit12.
As for the power factor, it is indeed unity at resonance12. This is because the circuit is purely resistive at
this point, meaning the voltage and current are in phase12.

The current is not at its maximum in a parallel resonance RLC circuit12. In fact, the current drawn from the
supply is zero at resonance1. This is because the corresponding instantaneous values of the inductor and
capacitor currents will always be equal and opposite1. Therefore, the current drawn from the supply is the
vector addition of these two currents and the current flowing in the resistor1.

So, the correct answer is B. Power factor is unity12. Always remember to take safety precautions when
working with electronic circuits. If you’re not sure, it’s best to seek help from a professional.

Sure, let’s dive into the mathematical explanation of parallel resonance in RLC circuits.

Impedance: In a parallel RLC circuit, the total impedance is calculated using the admittance (Y), which is
the reciprocal of the impedance (Z). The admittance of a parallel circuit is given as1:

Y = G + jB

where:

 G is the conductance, which is the reciprocal of resistance ®, i.e., G = 1/R.

 B is the susceptance, which is the sum of the susceptance of the inductor (BL) and the capacitor
(BC), i.e., B = BL + BC.

The susceptance of the inductor and capacitor are given by1:

BL = -\frac{1}{\omega L} \quad \text{and} \quad BC = \omega C

where:

 ω is the angular frequency.

 L is the inductance.
 C is the capacitance.

At resonance, the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance, so the imaginary parts of Y become
zero1. Therefore, the condition for resonance is1:

BL = BC

which simplifies to:

-\frac{1}{\omega L} = \omega C

Solving for ω gives the resonant frequency1:

\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}
Power Factor: At resonance, the circuit behaves like a purely resistive circuit, achieving a unity power
factor2. This is because the voltage and current are in phase

Current: The total current through the circuit when the circuit is at resonance is given by 3:

I_T = \frac{V}{R}

where:

 V is the supply voltage.

 R is the resistance.

At resonance, the corresponding instantaneous values of the inductor and capacitor currents will always be
equal and opposite, and therefore the current drawn from the supply is the vector addition of these two
currents and the current flowing in the resistor1.

The correct answer is B. Class B.

Cross over distortion is a type of distortion which is caused by switching between devices driving a load2.
It is most commonly seen in complementary, or “push-pull”, class-B amplifier stages2. This distortion
occurs when the signal changes or “crosses-over” from one transistor to the other at the zero voltage
point1. This results in a condition that is commonly called Crossover Distortion.
Class A amplifiers have no crossover distortion as they are biased in the center of the load line 1. Class AB
amplifiers have some crossover distortion if the biasing level is set too low1. However, among the common
amplifier classes, Class B amplifiers have large amounts of crossover distortion due to biasing at the cut-
off point1.

The correct answer is A. Breakdown voltage1.

Paschen’s law is an equation that gives the breakdown voltage, that is, the voltage necessary to start a
discharge or electric arc, between two electrodes in a gas as a function of pressure and gap length 1. It is
named after Friedrich Paschen who discovered it empirically in 18891.

Paschen’s law reflects the Townsend breakdown mechanism in gases, that is, a cascading of secondary
electrons emitted by collisions in the gap2. The significant parameter is pd, the product of the gap distance
and the pressure2.

Please note that understanding and applying Paschen’s law requires a good understanding of electronics
and physics. Always remember to take safety precautions when working with high voltages. If you’re not
sure, it’s best to seek help from a professional.
