AC Fundamentals – Exercise – 2

51. A 20 kHz pulse waveform consists of pulses that are 15 μs wide. The duty cycle ________.

(a) is 1%
(b) is 30%
(c) is 100%
(d) cannot be determined

Answer
Answer : (b)
Explanation
Explanation :

Duty Cycle = (time of signal active / total period of signal) * 100
Total period = 1 / frequency

Therefore,
D = t / p * 100% = f * p * 100% = 15 * 10^-6 * 20 * 10^3 * 100 = 30%.

52. A pulse waveform has a high time of 8 ms and a pulse width of 32 ms. The duty cycle is ________.

(a) 25%
(b) 50%
(c) 1%
(d) 100%

Answer
Answer : (a)
Explanation
Explanation :

Duty cycle = (high time / pulse width) * 100 = (8 ms / 32 ms) * 100 = 25%

53. The average value of a 12 V peak sine wave over one complete cycle is ________.

(a) 0 V
(b) 1.27 V
(c) 7.64 V
(d) 6.37 V

Answer
Answer : (a)
Explanation
Explanation :

The sine wave has the same values for both positive and negative cycles. Hence, the average is equal to zero. Average value over complete sine wave cycle is always zero.

54. The average half-cycle value of a sine wave with a 40 V peak is ________.

(a) 25.48 V
(b) 6.37 V
(c) 14.14 V
(d) 50.96 V

Answer
Answer : (a)
Explanation
Explanation :

METHOD-1

Vavg = 2Vp / π = 2 * 40 / 3.14 = 25.48 V

METHOD-2

Vavg = Vp * 0.637 = 40 * 0.637 = 25.48 V

55. If the rms current through a 6.8 kΩ resistor is 8 mA, the rms voltage drop across the resistor is ________.

(a) 5.44 V
(b) 54.4 V
(c) 7.07 V
(d) 8 V

Answer
Answer : (b)
Explanation
Explanation :

V = I * R
rms voltage = rms currant * resistance = 6.8 * 1000 * (8/1000) = 54.4 V.
