PART – A (2 MARKS)

1. Define ─ Electric current

Electric current is defined as rate of flow of electric charge

Electrical potential is generally measured between two points and its unit is the volt.

And also define as work done per charge.

3. What is meant by resistance?

The resistance of a circuit is the property by which it opposes the flow of current.

This parameter measured in ohms is responsible for energy dissipation.

4. State ohm‟s law and its limitation?

2. the cost is higher than that of PMMI instrument

21. What is the basic operating principle of a PMMC instrument?

A moving coil that carries the current is placed between two poles of permanent. The core around which the moving coil is wound is suspended, so that it can move freely. When current passed thorough the coil, it produces a strong magnetic field. The permanent magnet also produces magnetic field. The deflecting torque is produced due to the interaction between two fluxes. Since the permanent magnet is fixed the moving coil tends to move and the pointer which is one of the parts of moving coil arrangement also moves.

22. Why cannot a moving coil instrument be used in AC circuits?

The deflecting torque of the instrument reverses if the current reverses. If the instrument is connected to AC, the pointer cannot follow the rapid reversals and the deflection corresponds to mean torque, which is zero. So these instruments cannot be used for AC

In dc series motor, flux is directly proportional to armature current.

Φ α I

Under no load condition the armature current is very low and flux also be les. By using the formula N α (1/ Φ), here Φ is less the motor speed will be very high. Due to this motor will be damaged. Hence Dc series motor should always be started with some load on the shaft.

When the reverse bias voltage across of zener diode exceeds the particular voltage level,

the current increases very sharply. This voltage is called breakdown voltage of zener diode.

19. 23. How does a PN junction behave under forward and reverse biased condition?

Forward biased condition – closed switch

Reverse biased condition – open switch

20. What do you mean by zener breakdown?

This occurs primarily in heavily doped diodes. In these diodes the depletion region is very

small.

When reverse biasing a diode a very strong electric filed exists across the depletion region at near breakdown voltage levels. For an applied reverse bias voltage of 6 volts or less the electric filed is in the order of 2*107 v/m. this very high electric filed breaks covalent bonds and creates new electron hole pairs which increase the reverse current dramatically thus a large reverse current flows

For lightly doped diodes the zener break down voltage is quite high and so breakdown predominantly occurs through avalanche mechanism.

21. What is meant by zener effect?

In a general purpose PN diode the doping is light; as a result of this the breakdown voltage is high. If a P and N region are heavily doped then the breakdown voltage can be reduced. When the doping is heavily, even the reverse voltage is low, the electric field at barrier will be so strong thus the electrons in the covalent bonds can break away from the bonds. This effect is known as zener effect.

1. What is meant by modulation?

Modulation is basically a process of increasing the frequency of the signasl to be transmitted. In the process of modulation, we take a high frequency signal called as carrier signal and vary some characteristics of the carrier signal like amplitude, frequency or phase in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude variation of the message signal.

2. What is meant by modulation and demodulation?

Modulation:

Modulation is basically a process of increasing the frequency of the signal to be transmitted.

Demodulation:

The modulation signal is transmitted from one place to other. In the receiver side, we receive this signal and retrieve the message in it. This process is called as demodulation.

3. What are the types of modulation?

Modulation can be broadly classified into two types based on the nature of carrier signal

1. Sinusoidal modulation 2. Pulse modulation

In sinusoidal modulation, the carrier signal used is a sine signal.

In pulse modulation, the carrier signal used is a pulse signal.

4. Why are AM systems preferred in broadcasting than FM systems?

AM system preferred in broadcasting than FM system because

1. Long distance communication 2. Consumes less power

5. What are the various standards used in TV transmission system?

1. Number of frames per second 2. Number of lines per frame

3. Filed frequency 4. Line frequency 5. Channel width

6. Video bandwidth 7. Sound system

6. What are advantages of optical fibre commutation?

1. Less weight

2. Larger information carrying capacity

3. Less space and easy installation

4. Fibre classes are cheaper.

7. What is packet loss?

Packet loss occurs in communication network mainly due to congestion. When the number

of packet is being transmitted, when reach a node, the volume of data packets may be higher than

the capacity of the node. In such situation some packets are lost. The loss may be due to

hardware, software or transmission media not sufficiently capable to handle large volume of data.

This is called as packet loss.
