Ans:
(d)
Sol: Previous Year Questions- Transients and Steady State Response - 2 | Network Theory (Electric Circuits) - Electrical Engineering (EE)All the three windings has same number of turns, so magnitude of induced emf's in all the three windings will be same i.e.
∣VP∣ = ∣Vs∣ = ∣VT
Polarity of the winding is decided on the basis of dot-convention.
As capacitor is carged to 5V with left plate as positive
So, T1 is positive w.r.t. T2
VT = VT1 − VT2 = 5V
As T2 has negative polarity. So P1 has negative polarity.  
Therefore , VP = VP1−VP2 = −5V
Similarly, S1 has negative polarity

FAQs on Previous Year Questions- Transients and Steady State Response - 2 - Network Theory (Electric Circuits) - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is the difference between transients and steady state response?
Ans. Transients refer to the temporary behavior of a system before it reaches a stable state, while steady state response is the behavior of a system after it has settled into a stable state.
2. How do transients affect the performance of a system?
Ans. Transients can impact the stability and reliability of a system by causing temporary fluctuations in its response before reaching a steady state. It is important to analyze and control transients to ensure optimal system performance.
3. What factors can influence the duration of transients in a system?
Ans. The duration of transients in a system can be influenced by factors such as the system's initial conditions, input signals, damping ratio, and natural frequency. These factors can affect how quickly a system reaches a steady state response.
4. How can transients be minimized in a system?
Ans. Transients can be minimized by designing the system with appropriate damping and control mechanisms, optimizing the system's parameters, and using feedback control strategies to regulate the system's response.
5. Why is it important to analyze both transients and steady state response in system dynamics?
Ans. Analyzing both transients and steady state response is crucial for understanding the overall behavior and performance of a system. Transients provide insights into the system's initial behavior and response to disturbances, while steady state response helps evaluate the system's long-term stability and performance.
