Subject ID: EC-100
Subject: Basic Electronics
(Branch/ Section E, F, G, M.Sc(Physics))
Maximum marks: 30 (Full marks 40)
Time: 2hours

Instructions:
1. Answer as many questions you can. Marks secured above 30 will be truncated to 30
2. Figures in right hand side indicate marks.
3. Graph paper can be used where necessary. Use semi-log graph for frequency
response
4. All parts of a question should be answered in single continuous space.
5. Due credit will be awarded for neatness in drawing and labeling of circuit diagrams.
1.

(i) Write expressions for the following sine wave voltage signals
a. 120V rms and 50Hz frequency
b. 0.2V peak-to-peak and 1000rad/s frequency
(ii) Consider the voltage-amplifier circuit model shown in Figure 1. The open circuit voltage
gain Av0= 10 V/V, Ri = Rs/10 and RL= R0/10. Calculate the overall voltage gain (v0/vS)
expressed in V/V and in dB.
(iii) Draw ideal frequency response characteristics of a Bandpass filter. Write an
application of a Bandpass filter.
(iv) Figure.2 shows a circuit diagram where vs is the signal source, RS is the source
resistance, and RI and Ci are the input resistance and input capacitance respectively.
Derive an expression for vi(s)/vs(s) and show that it behaves like a single time constant
(STC) low pass filter.
(V) Consider 8-bit digital word D = b7b6b5b4b3b2b1b0 used to represent an analog signal that
varies between 0V and +10V. If the digital reading is 11001100, find the analog voltage.
