    Hi all,

    This message is for Electronics and Telecom Guys willing to crack GATE 2010.
    As you already know Gate forms are out, so its high time to start concentrating on it. you also should be aware of the changed Syllabus for this year.

    What I am going to do is start preparing all of you and me too for this success.

    Everyday I would be posting a Question on E&TCE branch under the thread Question for the Day (E&TCE). just have a look and try to solve it. The Solutions would be provided there only.
    Interested Candidates can post there questions also, but it should be clear and understandable.
    Lets help each other and crack GATE 2010.
    Its made for us only.


    So,here is your first question of the day:

    11001, 1001 and 111001 correspond to the 2’s complement representation of the following set of numbers :
    (A) 25, 9 and 57 respectively
    (B) -6,-6 and -6 respectively
    (C) -7, -7 and -7 respectively
    (D) -25, -9 and -57 respectively


    Answer:

    (C)(Hint) All are 2’s complement of 7

    Excellent idea dude If Im not wrong this question is from kanodia book....

    Here my question

    If a unit step function is passed through a capacitor what will be the voltage across the capacitor?

    a)0
    b)a step function
    c)a ramp function
    d)an impulse function



    Answer:
    a ramp function(c)

    Hi
    Its really interesting yaar.

    First Question 2's complement of -7 is 1001. How 11001 and 111001 are 2's complement of -7.


    Thanks and Regards,
    Sundar.


    Author: Ghulam    23 Sep 2009Member Level: SilverRating: 2 out of 52 out of 5     Points: 3
    Hi Sundar,

    Take out 2's complement of 11001:
    ie.
    00110
    +1
    00111=(7)

    Now, Take out 2's complement of 111001:
    ie.
    000110
    +1
    000111=(7)

    The (-) sign appears in both the above 7's because the USB (Upper Significant bit) of both the binary forms are 1 and 1 at USB indicates a negative number.
    I think You got it now.
    If not, then please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Hi Smslsca,

    Sorry yaar I dont know your name.
    Please provide a brief description of your solution with your answer. It would be useful for everyone of us.
    Really saying a nice question of yours.
    If I am not wrong the Capacitor plays the role of a differentiator when step Input passes through it converts that step I/P to Ramp O/P.

    Thanks.

    Hi all,

    QUESTION OF THE DAY- 24th Sep, 2009

    What is the capacitive reactance of a circuit comprised of a 65.0-µF capacitor and a 50.0-Hz generator?

    a. 49.0 ohms
    b. 72.5 ohms
    c. 97.6 ohms
    d. 145 ohms
    e. 308 ohms


    Ans: 49.0 ohms (Capacitive reactance= 1/(2*pi*Fc*C); Fc=cut off frequency and C is the capacitance of the capacitor)

    Thanks.


    Author: smslca    24 Sep 2009Member Level: BronzeRating: 2 out of 52 out of 5     Points: 2
    Capacitor acts as an integrator so, for step signal the output is ramp.i think it clears all the doubts......

    Hi all,

    I wouldn't be able to post questions from tomorrrow onwards as I have an operation on 28th.
    But my request to you all, dont stop this process.
    Continue it to its success.
    I request SMSLCA and Sundar to continue this process.
    I will Take care of it after 10th October.

    Hi all
    I am also not available for next one week so please try to continue the process i will be available from 5th october.....


    Author: Ghulam    25 Sep 2009Member Level: SilverRating: 2 out of 52 out of 5     Points: 5
    Hi,

    Notes on Relaxation Oscillator:
    A relaxation oscillator is an oscillator in which a capacitor is charged gradually and then discharged rapidly. It is usually implemented with a resistor or current source, a capacitor, and a threshold device such as a neon lamp, thyratron, diac, unijunction transistor, or Gunn diode.

    The output of relaxation Oscillator is generally a Sawtooth Wave.

    Thanks.

    Find the closed loop gain of an Op-amp if its open loop gain is 1000 and Rf(feed back resistance) is 100k and r1(resistance connected to inverting input) is 1k

    A)90.83
    B)99.0
    C)96.78
    D)89.98


    Answer is "A"


    Author: smslca    07 Oct 2009Member Level: BronzeRating: 2 out of 52 out of 5     Points: 1
    Closed loop gain G= (Rf/r1)/(1+((1+Rf/r1)/A))

    Where A is open loop gain

    Hi all,

    Could anyone of u plzzz help me out by suggesting me d best available book for clearing d basic concepts in Electronics- mainly for network analysis and basic electronics part..

    I wud be really thankful....



    Author: Ghulam    20 Oct 2009Member Level: SilverRating: 2 out of 52 out of 5     Points: 6
    Hi Priyanka,

    There are lot many good books you can follow for clearing your basic concepts:

    Network Analysis:
    * Network Analysis VanValkenburg
    * Engg Circuit Analysis Hayt & Kemmerly


    Basic Electronics Part:
    * Micro Electronic Circuits by Sedra& Smith
    * Electronic Principals by Malvino
    * Electronic Devices And Circuits by Boylestead

    But from my opinion try not to follow all these books.
    Pick up any one from these get thorough through the topics.
    Any One book from each section is enough.
    Meanwhile I am trying to post some soft copies related to electronics in the File Manager tab. Try going through those. It will be of great help!!

    Thanks.

    Hi all,

    Here's the Question of the Day from SEMICONDUCTORS:

    Q: The thermal-equilibrium concentration of hole Po in silicon at T=300 K is 10^15 cm-3. The value of No is:

    A.3.8*10^8 cm-3
    B.4.4*10^4 cm-3
    C.2.6*10^4 cm-3
    D.4.3*10^8 cm-3

    Ans: (B)4.4*10^4 cm-3

    Sol: Po= Nv exp -{(Ef-Ev)/kT}
    => (Ef-Ev)= kT ln (Nv/Po)
    At 300K, Nv= 10^19 cm-3
    => Ef-Ev = 0.0259 ln (10^19/10^15) = 0.239eV

    No= Nc exp{(Ec-Ef)/kT}
    At 300K, Nc=2.8*10^19 cm-3
    => Ec-Ef=1.12-0.239= 0.881eV
    => No=4.4*10^4 cm-3 (Ans)

    how many hours do u study for this gate exam??
    this especially for "ghulam"!!


    Author: Ghulam    26 Oct 2009Member Level: SilverRating: 2 out of 52 out of 5     Points: 4
    Hi Harshi,

    No need to burden youself too much preparing for GATE.
    It hardly needs an hour or two everyday to clear your concepts topic by topic if you sit with a cool mind with all your devotions.
    GATE is after all " A test to test your concepts".

    Question of the Day on TRANSMISSION LINES:

    A telephone line has the following parameters:
    R=60 ohm/mt, G=600 microSiemens/mt, L=0.3 microHenry/mt,
    C=0.75 nanoFarad/mt
    If the line operate at 10 MHz, the characteristic impedance Zo is:

    A.21.0 - j17.6 ohms
    B.29.6 - j21.4 ohms
    C.10.8 - j7.9 ohms
    D.14.0 - j42 ohms


    Ans) B)29.6 - j21.4 ohms

    Expln:
    R+jwL= 60 + j*2*pi*(10*10^6)(3*10^-7) [Since, w=2*pi*f]
    = |62| <17.44deg

    G+jwC= [600*10^-6] + j*2pi*(10*10^6)*(0.75*10^-9)
    = |0.047| <89.27deg

    Zo=(R+jwL)/(G+jwC)
    = 29.6 - j21.4 (Ans)

    Question of the Day on AMPLITUDE MODULATION:

    Q.A 2MHz carrier is amplitude modulated by a 500Hz modulating signal to a depth of 60%. If the unmodulated carrier power is 1 kW, the power of the modulated signal is

    (A)1.83 kW
    (B)1.36 kW
    (C)1.18 kW
    (D)1.26 kW


    Ans. (C)1.18 kW

    Expln:
    Pc=1 kW, m=60%=0.6
    Pt=Pc[1+{(m^2)/2}]^0.5
    =1[1+{(0.6*0.6)/2}]^0.5
    =1.18 kW (Ans)

    Question of the Day on TRANSISTORS:

    Q)Two Nmos Transistors are connected in series and the gates of both the transistors are connected to 5V. One end of
    the Transistor is connected to a 10V supply and the Vth=1V. What is the voltage at the other end?

    A.3 Volts
    B.4 Volts
    C.5 Volts
    D.6 Volts

    Ans) B)4 Volts

    Expln:
    Consider a single NMOS as a switch. The max voltage at the other end can reach max of VG - Vt, after that NMOS will be off.
    So if the voltage at one end is less than Vg-Vt it passes that value to the other end, but if it is more, it reaches Vg-Vt at the end and stops there bcoz after that the MOS switch will be off. So in this case, first NMOS which has 12v, at the input, gives 4v out at its source, the other Transistor which has 4v at the input transmits samething to the other end as it is.
    So final voltage is 4V.
