GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

Evaluate the following assertions concerning a metal conducting sphere:

  • The intensity of the electric field at a location outside the conducting sphere rises as the distance between the center of the sphere and the location increases.
  • The intensity of the electric field at the surface of the conducting sphere is inversely related to the square of the sphere's radius.
  • The intensity of the electric field within the conducting sphere is zero.

Which of the above assertion(s) is/are accurate?

Detailed Solution for GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

Electric field intensity due to Conducting Sphere:

Conducting sphere charged means the charge will be uniformly distributed over the surface of the sphere. Let's consider a conducting sphere of radius R, which is charged with charge Q. As shown in the below  figure,

There are three cases to analyze the Electric field intensity of a conducting sphere,

Case 1 (r > R): Electric field intensity at a point outside the conducting sphere

The electric field intensity at a point P which is lying outside the conducting sphere at a distance of r from the center of the conducting sphere is given by 


Where
Q = charge on the surface of the conducting sphere
r = distance between the center of the sphere and the point outside the sphere.
ε0 = absolute permittivity
From the expression, we can observe that E ∝ ( 1 / r2)
So, with the increase in distance between the center of the sphere and the point the electric field intensity decreases.
Case 2 (r = R): Electric field intensity at the surface of the conducting sphere 
We can get the value electric field intensity on the surface of the conducting sphere by taking r = R in the above case, So electric field intensity on the surface is given by

Where R is the radius of the conducting sphere

From the expression, we can observe that E ∝ ( 1 / R2)

Case 3 (r < R): Electric field inside the conducting sphere

For the conducting sphere as the charge is distributed over the surface, so there is no charge available inside the sphere. As there is no charge inside the conducting sphere there is no presence of an electric field. Therefore the electric field intensity (E) inside the conducting sphere is equal to zero.

GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

Two large homogeneous isotropic dielectric materials intersect at the plane z = 0. For the region where z ≥ 0, the relative permittivity is εr1 = 4, and for the area where z ≤ 0, it is εr2 = 2. In the region z ≥ 0, there is a uniform electric field given by E1 = 5ax – 2ay 3az kV/m. What is the value of E2z in the region where z ≤ 0?

Detailed Solution for GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

Concept:

The boundary condition for electrostatic fields are defined as:
E1t = E2t (Tangential components are equal across the boundary surface)
Also, the normal component satisfies the following relation:
D1n – D2n = ρs
For a charge-free boundary, ρs = 0, the above expression becomes:
D1n – D2n = 0
D1n = D2n

Analysis:

Given, the electric field intensity in medium 1.
E1 = 5ax – 2ay + 3az
Since, the medium interface lies in plane z = 0
So, we get the field components as
E1t = 5ax – 2ay
And E1n = 3az
Now, From the boundary condition for the electric field we have:
E1t = E2t
ε1E1n = ε2E2n


So, the field components in medium 2 are:
E2t = E1t = 5ax – 2ay
E2n = 6az
Therefore, the net electric field intensity in medium 2 will be:
E2 = E2t + E2n = 5ax – 2ay + 6az
So, the z-component of the field intensity in medium 2 is
E2z = 6az

GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 13

The equation 

The above eqaution represents the equation of rectangular hyperbola.
Hence the correct option is (B).

*Multiple options can be correct
GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 15

In the given circuit, Vs represents an asymmetric unipolar square wave with a period of T. The waveform has a duty cycle of 35%. Diode D is considered ideal, and both resistors R1 and R2 have a resistance of 14Ω. Which of the following statements is accurate?

Detailed Solution for GATE Instrumentation Mock Test - 4 - Question 15

Concept:
The duty cycle for an alternating quantity describes the fraction of time that the pulse is ON in one pulse period.
Mathematically, this is defined as:
Duty Cycle = 
Also, the Time period is the sum of the ON time and OFF time, i.e.
T = Ton + Toff
Duty Cycle = Ton/T

Analysis:
Given:

Given that the duty cycle of the asymmetrical waveform is 35 %.

TON = 0.35 TON + 0.35 TOFF
0.65 TON = 0.35 TOFF

Since TON + TOFF = T

TOFF = 0.65 T
∴ TON = 0.35 T

During ON time, the diode is forward biased and will act as a short circuit as shown:

V01 = Vs = 7 V

During OFF time, the diode is OFF and will be open-circuited as shown:

As Vs = 0 for this interval: V02 = 0 V and I02 = 0 Amp
Now, the average value of the output voltage will be:

Similarly, the average value of current will be:

Hence, the correct options are (3) and (4).
