Note: Answer any Eight Questions
1. Root mean square or R.M.S. value of
Alternating current is defined as that value of
steady current, which would generate the same
amount of heat in a given resistance is given
time, as is done by A.C. current , when
maintained across the same resistance for the
same time.

Power factor is the cosine of the phase

difference between voltage and current, and as
a result, the power factor is measured using
the formula Power Factor = cos ɸ, where ɸ is
the phase difference between the voltage and
current phasor.

Form factor of an alternating current waveform

(signal) is the ratio of the RMS (root mean
square) value to the average value. 4. An electrical network is an interconnection
of electrical components (e.g., batteries,
resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches,
transistors) or a model which need not be
closed.

Branch represents a single circuit element like

are: j3, j12, j100 etc.

5. Thevenins Theorem: It states that a linear

two‐terminal circuit can be replaced by an
equivalent consisting of a voltage source VTh in
series with a resistor RTh,
where
VTh is the open‐circuit voltage at the terminals.
RTh is the input or equivalent resistance at the
terminals when the independent sources are

10. The quality factor relates the maximum or

peak energy stored in the circuit (the
reactance) to the energy dissipated (the
resistance) during each cycle of oscillation
meaning that it is a ratio of resonant frequency
to bandwidth and the higher the circuit Q, the
7. smaller the bandwidth,
Q = ƒr /BW.
Tthe selectivity of the circuit is a
measure of its ability to reject any frequencies
either side of these.

Reactance is essentially inertia against the

flow of current. It is present anywhere electric
or magnetic fields are developed in proportion
to an applied voltage or current, respectively;
but most notably in capacitors and inductors.
Impedance Z is represented as a combination
of resistance R and reactance X as: X = R + j
X. Where reactance X is a combination of
Inductive XL and capacitive XC.

15. (a). After applying an input to an electric

circuit, the output takes certain time to reach
steady state. So, the output will be in transient
state till it goes to a steady state. Therefore,

In the above circuit, the switch was
kept open up to t = 0 and it was closed at t =
0.

Speed is distance over time, so v = λ / T. The

frequency, f, is 1/T, so the equation relating So, the DC voltage source having V volts is

15.(b). 16.(a). Series Resonance circuits are one of

the most important circuits used electrical and
electronic circuits. They can be found in
various forms such as in AC mains filters,
noise filters and also in radio and television
tuning circuits producing a very selective
tuning circuit for the receiving of the different
frequency channels. Consider the simple
series RLC circuit below.

horizontal deflection plates and

16.(b). fluorescent screen.
The electron beam, which is produced by an
electron gun gets deflected in both vertical and
horizontal directions by a pair of vertical
deflection plates and a pair of horizontal
deflection plates respectively. Finally, the
deflected beam will appear as a spot on the
fluorescent screen.

 Vertical Amplifier − It amplifies the

input signal, which is to be displayed on
the screen of CRT.
 Delay Line − It provides some amount
of delay to the signal, which is obtained
at the output of vertical amplifier. This
delayed signal is then applied to vertical
deflection plates of CRT.
 Trigger Circuit − It produces a
triggering signal in order to synchronize
both horizontal and vertical deflections of
electron beam.
 Time base Generator − It produces a
sawtooth signal, which is useful for
horizontal deflection of electron beam.
 Horizontal Amplifier − It amplifies the
sawtooth signal and then connects it to
the horizontal deflection plates of CRT.
 Power supply − It produces both high

voltage and positive low voltage are
applied to CRT and other circuits
respectively.
