Introduction: Set-1

[1994 1M] The value of the integral \int_{-5}^{+6}\;e^{-2t}\;\delta(t-1)\;dt\; is equal to _______

Ans- e^{-2}

Explanation:

We know that the Shifting property of impulse function is given as,

\int_{-\infty}^\infty\;x(t)\;\delta(t-t_0)\;dt\;=\;x\left(t_0\right)

Generally, the impulse is located at t = 1

Using the time shifting property,

\;\int_{-5}^{+6}\;e^{(-2\times1)}\;\delta(t-1)\;dt\;=\;e^{-2}\;\;\int_{-5}^{+6}\;\;\delta(t-1)\;dt\;\;=\;e^{-2}

So, e^{-2} is the correct answer.


[2002 1M] A current impulse of 5\delta(t)\;, is forced through a capacitor C. The voltage v_c(t), across the capacitor is given by

a) 5t

b) 5 u(t) – C

c) \frac5Ct

d) \frac{5\;u(t)}C

Ans- (d) \frac{5\;u(t)}C

Explanation:

WE know that The formula for voltage across the capacitor is given as;

v_c\left(t\right)\;=\;\frac1C\;\int_{-\infty}^t\;i(t)\;dt \;v_c\left(t\right)\;=\;\frac1C\;\int_{-\infty}^t\;5\;\delta(t)\;dt v_c\left(t\right)\;=\;\frac5C\;\int_{-\infty}^t\;\delta(t)\;dt

We know that, \int_{-\infty}^t\;\delta(t)\;dt\;=\;u(t) ………….. impulse function property

\;v_c(t)\;=\;\frac5C\;u(t)

[2004 2M] The rms value of the periodic waveform given in the figure is

a) 2\sqrt6\;A

b) 6\sqrt2\;A

c) \sqrt{\frac43}\;A

d) 1.5 A

Ans- (a) 2\sqrt6\;A

Explanation:

The formula for I_{rms} is

I_{rms}^2\;=\;\left[\frac1T\;\int_0^T\;i^2\;(t)\right]

I_{rms} is considered for one complete cycle.

The complete cycle or waveform of current has summation of two parts. Second part can be written directly.

So for first part i.e. from 0 to T/2 , find the slope.

Slope\;=\;\frac yx\;=\;\frac{-6t}{\displaystyle\frac T2}\;=\;\frac{-12t}T I^{2}{rms}=\left [ \frac{1}{T} \int{0}^{T/2}\left ( \frac{-12T}{T} \right )^{2}dt+\int_{T/2}^{T}6^{2}dt\right ] I^{2}{rms}=\left [ \frac{1}{T} \int_{0}^{T/2}\left ( \frac{-144t^{2}}{T^{2}dt} \right )^{2}dt+\frac{36}{T}\int_{T/2}^{T}dt\right ] I_{rms}^2\;=\;\left[\frac{144}{T^3}\;\int_0^\frac T2\;t^2\;dt\;+\;\frac{36}T\;\int_\frac T2^T\;dt\right] I_{rms}^2\;=\;\left[\frac{144}{T^3}\;\left(\frac{t^3}3\right)0^\frac T2+\;\frac{36}T\;\left(t\right)\frac T2^T\right] I_{rms}^2\;=\;\frac{144}{T^3}\;\times\;\frac{T^3}{2^3\;\times\;3}\;+\;\frac{36}T\;\left[T\;-\;\frac T2\right] I_{rms}^2\;=\;\frac{144}{8\;\times\;3}\;+\;\frac{36}T\;\left[\frac T2\right] I_{rms}^2\;=\;6\;+\;\frac{36}2\;=\;6\;+\;18\;=\;24 \therefore\;I_{rms}\;=\;2\;\sqrt6\;A

[2004: 2M] The rms value of the resultant current in a wire which carries a dc current of 10A and a sinusoidal alternating current of peak value 20A is

a) 14.1 A

b) 17.3 A

c) 22.4 A

d) 30.0 A

Ans- (b) 17.3 A

Explanation: It is given that,

RMS value of dc current = 10 A

Peak value of alternating current = 20 A

The resultant current is the sum of rms value of dc current and rms value of altertnating current.

∴ RMS value of alternating current = \frac{20}{\sqrt2}\;=\;\frac{10\;\times\;2}{\sqrt2}\;=\;10\sqrt2\;A

RMS value of resultant current = \sqrt{\left(RMS\:value\;of\;dc\;current\right)^2\;+\;\left(RMS\;value\;of\;ac\;current\right)^2}

RMS value of resultant current = \sqrt{\left(10\right)^2\;+\;\left(10\;\sqrt2\right)^2}\;=\;17.32\;A

So, option (b) is the correct answer.


Q. For the triangular waveform shown in the figure, the RMS value of the voltage is equal to

a) \sqrt{\frac16}\;V

b) \sqrt{\frac13}\;V

c) \frac13\;V

d) \sqrt{\frac23}\;V

Ans- (a) \sqrt{\frac16}\;V

Explanation:

RMS value for one cycle i.e. from 0 to T/2 and T/2 to T.

Consider for a period of 0 to T/2 and find the slope.

Slope\;=\;\frac yx\;=\;\frac{1t}{\displaystyle\frac T2}\;=\;\frac{2t}T

For the period of T/2 to T it is zero.

V_{rms}^2\;={\frac1T\left[\int_0^\frac T2\;\left(\frac{2t}T\right)^2\;dt\;+\;\int_\frac T2^T\;0\;dt\right]}^{1/2} V_{rms}^2\;=\;\frac1T\;\int_0^\frac T2\;\left(\frac{4\;t^2}{T^2}\right)\;dt V_{rms}^2\;=\;\frac4{T^3}\;\int_0^\frac T2\;t^2\;dt\;=\;\frac4{T^3}\;\left[\frac{t^3}3\right]_0^\frac T2 V_{rms}^2\;=\;\frac4{T^3}\;\left[\frac T2\;-\;0\right]^3\;=\;\frac4{3\;T^3}\;\times\;\frac{T^3}8\;=\;\frac16 V_{rms}\;=\;\sqrt{\frac16}\;V

So, option (a) is the correct answer.


[2006 1M] Which of the following is true?

a) A finite amplitude signal is always time bounded.

b) A time bounded signal always possesses finite energy.

c) A time bounded signal is always zero outside the interval \left[-t_0\;,\;t_0\right] for some t0.

d) A time bounded signal is always finite.

Ans- (c) A time bounded signal is always zero outside the interval \left[-t_0\;,\;t_0\right] for some t0.


[2006 2M] A continuous-time system is described by y\left(t\right)\;=\;e^{-\left|x\left(t\right)\right|} , where y(t) is the output and x(t) is the input. y(t) is bounded

a) only when x(t) is bounded.

b) only when x(t) is non-negative.

c) only for t ≤ 0 if x(t) is bounded for t ≥ 0.

d) even when x(t) is not bounded.

Ans- (d)

Explanation:

e-x is always convergent and bounded when x is not bounded.

∴ y(t) is bounded even though x(t) is not bounded.

So, option (d) is the correct answer.

y\left(t\right)\;=\;\int_{-\infty}^t\;x(\alpha)\;d\alpha

a) has no finite singularities in its double sided Laplace Transform H(s).

b) produces a bounded output for every causal bounded input.

c) produces a bounded output for every anticausal bounded input.

Ans- (d) has no finite zeros in its double sided Laplace Transform H(s).


[2007 1M] The frequency spectrum of a signal is shown in the figure. If this is ideally sampled at intervals of 1ms, then the frequency spectrum of the sampled signal will be

Ans- (b)

Explanation:

Given, Sampling interval Ts = 1 msec = 10-3 sec.

∴ Sampling frequency; f_s\;=\;\frac1{T_s}\;=\;\frac1{10^{-3}}\;=\;10^3\;=\;1\;KHz

After Sampling, the new signal in frequency domain is

U_T(j\omega)\;=\;\frac1{T_s}\;\sum_{n\;=\;-\infty}^\infty\;U\;(f\;-\;nf_s)

After solving the above signal, we get a constant term having amplitude which varies from -∾ to ∾.

∴ The sampled signal will be

So, option (b) is correct.

a) provide zero phase shift for all frequency.

b) provide constant phase shift for all frequency.

c) provide linear phase shift that is proportional to frequency.

d) provide a phase shift that is inversely proportional to frequency.

Ans- (c)

Explanation:

For a distortion free output signal waveform, phase shift that is proportional to frequency should be provided so that equal delay could be imparted to all frequency component.
