Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 1

What is the voltage across the capacitor in the given figure 35s after the input voltage

steps from 0V to 54V, if the value of the resistor is 47 kΩ and the capacitor is 1.5F?

Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 1
Ec = 54(1 − e−35 × 1000000/1000 × 47 × 1000 × 1.5)V = 54 (1 − 1/e0.5)V

Ec = 54(1 − 0.606) = 21.3V

In an RC network when a step voltage is applied, the voltage across the capacitor is given by the equation

Ec = E{1− e-(t/RC)}

where Ec is the voltage across the capacitor at any instant of time, E is the source

voltage, t is the time (seconds) after the step is applied, R is in ohms and C is in farads.

What is the time constant for the circuit shown in the given figure, if the resistor has a

value of 220 kΩ, and the capacitor is 2.2 F?

Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 2
t = 2.2 × 10−6 × 220 × 103 sec = 484 × 10−3 sec = 0.484 sec

The time constant of the voltage in a capacitive circuit is defined as:

t = CR

where t is the time (seconds) it takes for the voltage to reach 63.2% of its final or

aiming voltage after the application of an input voltage step (charging or discharging).

Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 3

The resistive elements in a strain gauge are each 5kΩ. A digital voltmeter with ranges of 10V, 1V, and 0.1V, and a resolution of 0.1% of FSD, is used to measure the output voltage. If R2 is the fixed element and R1 is the element measuring strain, what is the minimum change in R1 that can be detected? Assume a supply of 10V.

Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 3
To measure the output voltage ≈ 5V, the 10V range is required, giving a resolution or sensitivity of 10 mV.

VR = 5.01V = 5,000 × 10/(R1 + 5,000)V

5.01(R1 + 5,000) = 50,000

R1 = (50,000/5.01) − 5,000 = 4,980Ω

Resolution = 5,000 − 4,980 = 20Ω

Resistors R1 and R2 in the bridge circuit shown in the given figure are the strain gauge elements of 5kΩ each. Resistors R3 and R4 are fixed resistors, with values of 4.3 kW. A digital voltmeter with ranges of 10V, 1V, and 0.1V, and a resolution of 0.1% of FSD, is used to measure the output voltage. What is the minimum change in R1 that can be detected by the meter? Assume the supply E is 10V.
Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 4
The voltage at point C will be 5.0V, because R3 = R4, and the voltage at C equals one-half of the supply voltage. The voltmeter can use the 0.1V range, because the offset is 0V, giving a resolution of 0.1 mV. The voltage that can be sensed at A is given by

EAD = 10 × R2/(R1 + R2) = 5.00 + 0.0001V

R1 = (50,000/50,001) − 5,000Ω

R1 = −49,999

Resolution = 1Ω

If the bridge circuit in the given figure is balanced, with R1 = 15 kΩ, R2 = 27 kΩ, R3= 18 kΩ, and C1 = 220 pF, what are the values of R4 and C2?
Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 5
R2R3 = R1R4

R4 = 27 × 18/15 = 32.4 kΩ

Additionally,

C2R2 = C1R1

C2 = 220 × 15/27 = 122 pF

A variable air gap type capacitor consists of two parallel plates: a fixed plate and a moving plate at a distance x. If a potential V is applied across the two plates, then the force of attraction between the plates is related to x as
Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 9

E = ½ CV2. = ½  εA/x V2

F = -δE/δX = ½  εA/xx V2 which is inversely proportional to x2

The expression for the capacitance (C in pF) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

C = 6.94 × 10– 3 (d2/S). The diameter (d) of each plate is 20 mm and the spacing between the plates

(S) is 0.25 mm. The displacement sensitivity of the capacitor is approximate:
Detailed Solution for Test: Basic Electrical Components - Question 10

C = 6.94 x 10- 3 (d2/S) PF

Displacement sensitivity = dC/dS = -6.94 x 10 - 3 x 20 2 / (0.25)2 = - 44.4 pF/mm
