A regulator circuit to drive a resistive load RL is shown in Figure 2a. The load can be
considered to be disconnected from the circuit when the load is turned off. Determine
the typical power dissipation of the Zener diode (when the load is turned on) and the
minimum acceptable power rating of the Zener diode, given the source voltage, Vs =
12V; breakdown voltage of the Zener diode, Vz = 5V; Rs = 50; and RL = 100. State
any assumptions made.

An automobile alarm circuit (shown in Figure 2b) is used to detect certain undesirable
conditions. Suppose three switches are used to indicate the status of the door, the
ignition and the headlights, respectively. Design a logic circuit (using only 7400 ICs)
with these switches as the inputs so that the alarm will be activated whenever either of
the following conditions happens:
(i) The headlights are on while the ignition is off.
(ii) The door is open while the ignition is on.

A 120 Advance strain gage has a gage factor of 2.1 and has a power rating of 0.3W.
It is bonded onto a steel beam ( E = 210 10 9 N / m 2 ) for stress measurement. The
strain gage is at the arm 1 position of a Wheatstone bridge as shown in Figure 3a. The
resistance of each of the fixed resistors at the other three arms is 120 .

at the moment when the switch is closed. Indicate the current direction and
polarities of the voltages in the circuit.
(ii) Find the current I of the circuit, voltage VL (across L) and voltage VR (across R)
when the circuit is at steady state. Indicate the current direction and polarities of
the voltages in the circuit.
(iii) When the switch is suddenly opened, an arc is observed at the switch and the
switch is damaged. Explain the causes of the damage.
(iv) Suggest a design change to the circuit to prevent the switch damage. Draw the
new circuit.

A 250 V shunt-connected DC motor draws a line current of 4.5 A and runs at 1200
rpm when it is not connected to any external load. The motor has an armature
resistance of 0.5 and a field resistance of 100 . The rotational loss torque of the
motor is independent of the speed. The magnetic flux is proportional to the field
current.
(i)
Draw the equivalent circuit of the shunt-connected DC motor.
(ii)
Find the speed and efficiency of the motor when the motor is connected to an
external load of 80 Nm.
(iii)
Find the speed of motor if the supply voltage is reduced from 250 V to 200 V
when the external load is kept at 80 Nm.

In Figure 4a, a sliding bar is attached to a pair of frictionless rails of infinite length in
a uniform magnetic field. The bar and the rails are electrically conductive. The
following parameters are known: the mass of the sliding bar m, the distance between
the rails L, the flux density directed out of the page B, the gravitational acceleration g,
the resistance R. At t = 0, the bar is released and starts to slide down due to gravity.
When the bar reaches the steady state velocity,
(i)
find the current across R and indicate the direction of the current.
(ii)
find the steady state velocity of the bar.

QUESTION 4 (continued)
(b)
A strain gage of 120 is used to measure the stress of an aluminum beam due to the
applied force F as shown in Figure 4b. The strain gage is at the arm 1 position of a
Wheatstone bridge which has fixed resistors of 120 at the other three arms. The
Youngs Modulus of the beam is E 73.1109 N / m2 . The gage factor is 2 and the
gage can dissipate a maximum power of 0.25 W.
(i)
Calculate the maximum allowable dc supply voltage, E i , for the bridge.
(ii)
Calculate the sensitivity of the circuit under the maximum dc supply voltage.
(iii)
If the supply voltage is 10V, and the output of the bridge is 20 mV, what is the
stress at the location of R1 due to F?
(iv)
Find the output voltage when the same force F is applied but the temperature
of the beam is decreased by 30o C . The thermal expansion coefficients for the
aluminum alloy and the gage are 24.3 106 cm / cmoC and
26.82 106 cm / cmoC , respectively. The thermal resistance coefficient for
the gage is 10.8 106 /oC .

QUESTION 4 (continued)
(c)
A digital voltmeter (DVM) is used to measure the output voltage from a Type J (ironconstantan) thermocouple as shown in Figure 4c.

DVM
Figure 4c
The thermoelectric voltage for Type J thermocouple is provided in Table 1 on page 18.
(i)
Find the output voltage indicated by the DVM.
(ii)
Find the new temperature T2 if the DVM reading changes to 2.268 mV while
T1 remains at 0C.
(iii)
If the temperature T2 remains the same as in part (ii) but the reference
temperature T1 is now 20C, find the reading from the DVM.
(iv)
Assuming the same T1 and T2 as in part (iii) but T3 and T4 are changed to 30C,
find the reading from the DVM.
(v)
Under the same temperatures as in part (iii), indicate the current direction in
the circuit if the DVM is removed and current is allowed to flow.
