Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B. Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.
PART - A
Write short notes on voltage source and current source.
Answer
A voltage source is a two-terminal device that maintains a specified voltage across its terminals regardless of the current flowing through it. A current source is a two-terminal device that maintains a specified current through its terminals regardless of the voltage across them.
Define average value of a sinusoidal quantity.
Answer
The average value of a periodic sinusoidal quantity is defined as the arithmetic mean of all instantaneous values over one complete cycle. For a symmetric sine wave, the average value over a full cycle is zero, so it is typically calculated over a half-cycle.
