Fundamentals of Electrical Technology(25)

#Electrical and Electronics principle(10)
1. Electric and Magnetic Fundamental Principles:

Electricity and magnetism are two fundamental forces of nature that

are closely related. Electric charges create electric fields, which exert
forces on other charges. Moving charges also create magnetic fields.
The interplay between electric and magnetic fields is described by
Maxwell's equations, a set of fundamental equations in
electromagnetism. Some key principles include:

- Coulomb's Law: Describes the force between two charged

particles.

- Gauss's Law: Relates electric fields to the distribution of charges.

- Faraday's Law: Describes how changing magnetic fields induce

electric currents.

- Ampere's Law: Relates magnetic fields to electric currents.

2. Sources of Electrical Energy:

There are various sources of electrical energy, including:

- Fossil Fuels: Coal, oil, and natural gas power plants generate
electricity through combustion.

- Renewable Energy: Solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal

power plants harness natural resources to generate electricity.

- Nuclear Power: Nuclear reactors use fission reactions to generate

electricity.

3. Electrical Passive Components:

Passive components are electronic components that do not require an

external power source to function. Some common electrical passive
components include:

- Resistors: Resist the flow of electric current.

- Capacitors: Store and release electrical energy.

- Inductors: Store energy in a magnetic field.

- Diodes: Allow current to flow in one direction only.

4. Active vs. Passive Electrical Components:

Active components require an external power source to operate and

can control the flow of electrical current. Examples include
transistors, operational amplifiers, and integrated circuits. Passive
components, as mentioned earlier, do not require an external power
source and include resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes.
Active components are typically used in amplification, signal
processing, and control applications, while passive components are
used for filtering, timing, and energy storage.

#Electric Circuit Analysis I (7.5)

5. Matching Electrical Parameters:
When analyzing electrical circuits, it is important to match electrical
parameters to ensure proper functioning and optimal performance.
Some common electrical parameters that need to be matched
include:

- Voltage: The electrical potential difference between two points in a

circuit.
- Current: The flow of electric charge through a circuit.
- Resistance: The opposition to the flow of current in a circuit.
- Impedance: The total opposition to the flow of alternating current
(AC) in a circuit, including resistance and reactance.
- Capacitance: The ability of a capacitor to store electrical energy.
- Inductance: The ability of an inductor to store energy in a magnetic
field.
Matching these electrical parameters ensures that components in a
circuit are compatible and work together effectively.

6. Solving Different Types of Circuits Using Fundamental Laws:

When solving circuits, fundamental laws such as Ohm's Law,
Kirchhoff's Laws, and basic circuit analysis techniques are used.
Some common types of circuits that can be solved using these
fundamental laws include:

- Series Circuits: Components are connected end-to-end, and the

same current flows through each component.
- Parallel Circuits: Components are connected across the same
voltage source, and the voltage across each component is the same.
- Combination Circuits: Circuits that contain both series and parallel
components.

By applying Ohm's Law (V = I * R), Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

(KVL), and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), you can analyze and
solve circuits to determine voltage, current, and power distribution
within the circuit.

7. Using Circuit Analysis Methods to Determine Variables of

Electric Circuits:
Circuit analysis methods such as nodal analysis, mesh analysis, and
superposition theorem can be used to determine variables in electric
circuits. Nodal analysis involves applying KCL at each node in the
circuit to determine node voltages. Mesh analysis involves applying
KVL around closed loops in the circuit to determine loop currents.
Superposition theorem allows you to analyze the effects of
individual sources in a circuit separately and then combine the
results to find the overall response.

8. Applying Circuit Analysis Theorems to Determine Variables

of Electric Circuits:
Circuit analysis theorems such as Thevenin's Theorem, Norton's
Theorem, and Maximum Power Transfer Theorem can be applied to
simplify complex circuits and determine variables such as voltage,
current, resistance, and power. Thevenin's Theorem states that any
linear circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a
voltage source and a series resistor. Norton's Theorem is similar but
replaces the circuit with a current source and parallel resistor. The
Maximum Power Transfer Theorem helps determine the load
resistance for maximum power transfer from a source to a load. By
applying these theorems, you can simplify circuit analysis and
determine key variables in electric circuits.

#Network Theory Analysis and synthesis(7.5)

9. Relation between Line and Phase Voltages and
Currents in Balanced Systems:

In a balanced three-phase system, the line voltages (VL) are

related to the phase voltages (VP) and currents (IP) as
follows:
For a balanced Y (star) connection:

VL = √3 * VP

IL = IP

For a balanced Δ (delta) connection:

VL = VP

IL = √3 * IP

These relationships are important for understanding the

distribution of power and current in three-phase systems.

10. Analysis of Balanced and Unbalanced 3-Phase

Circuits:

In a balanced 3-phase circuit, the impedances, voltages, and

currents in each phase are equal. This simplifies analysis as
the same parameters can be applied to each phase. In an
unbalanced 3-phase circuit, the impedances, voltages, and
currents in each phase differ, requiring more complex analysis
to determine the behavior of the circuit.

11. Determining Reactive Power:

Reactive power (Q) is a measure of the power oscillation

between the source and the load in an AC circuit. It is
determined by the formula Q = V * I * sin(φ), where V is the
voltage, I is the current, and φ is the phase angle between
voltage and current. Reactive power is measured in volt-
amperes reactive (VAR) and is important for understanding
the power factor and efficiency of an electrical system.

of four parameters: Z11, Z12, Z21, and Z22. These
parameters relate the input and output currents and voltages of
the network and can be used to analyze and characterize its
behavior.

13. Determining H-Parameters of a Two-Port Network:

H-parameters, also known as hybrid parameters, are another

way to describe the behavior of a two-port network. They
consist of four parameters: h11, h12, h21, and h22. These
parameters relate input current to input voltage and output
voltage to output current and can be used to analyze the
network's behavior.

14. Analyzing the Transient Response of an RL-Circuit:

The transient response of an RL-circuit refers to how the

circuit behaves during the transition from one steady state to
another when an input or excitation changes. This analysis
involves determining how the current and voltage across the
components change over time due to factors such as
inductance, resistance, and initial conditions.

15. Analyzing the Transient Response of an RC-Circuit:

Similar to an RL-circuit, the transient response of an RC-
circuit involves analyzing how the circuit responds during the
transition between steady states when an input changes. This
analysis considers factors such as capacitance, resistance, and
initial conditions to determine how the voltage and current
across the components change over time.

12. Fundamental Concepts of Pneumatic and Hydraulic

Systems:

airflow or fluid flow through the system and are used to
control the speed of actuators or regulate flow to specific
components.

These valves come in various configurations and designs to

suit different applications within pneumatic and hydraulic
systems.

15. Comparison of Pneumatics and Hydraulic Systems:

Key Differences:

- Working Fluid: Pneumatic systems use compressed air as

the working fluid, while hydraulic systems use oil or other
non-compressible fluids.
- Compressibility: Air is compressible, leading to flexibility
but lower stiffness in pneumatic systems. Hydraulic fluids are
non-compressible, providing a more rigid system.

- Force and Speed: Hydraulic systems are suitable for high-

force applications with precise control, while pneumatic
systems are better suited for high-speed and low to medium
force applications.

- Maintenance: Pneumatic systems generally require less

maintenance than hydraulic systems due to the cleaner nature
of compressed air compared to hydraulic fluids.

Key Similarities:

These components work together to create a controlled flow
of air or fluid to actuate various mechanisms within the
system.

17. Electro-Pneumatic and Electro-Hydraulic Systems:

Electro-pneumatic and electro-hydraulic systems integrate

electrical control with pneumatic or hydraulic components to
achieve precise control and automation.

Electro-Pneumatic System:

An electro-pneumatic system uses electrical signals to control

pneumatic components such as solenoid valves, which direct
the flow of compressed air to actuate cylinders or other
devices. Electrical signals can be used to precisely control the
timing, speed, and sequencing of pneumatic actuators for
automation applications.
Electro-Hydraulic System:

Similarly, an electro-hydraulic system utilizes electrical

signals to control hydraulic components such as proportional
valves or servo valves. By modulating the flow of hydraulic
fluid with electrical input, these systems provide precise
control over the movement and force exerted by hydraulic
actuators.

In both cases, the integration of electrical control allows for

programmable automation, feedback control loops, and
precise regulation of pneumatic or hydraulic actuation. These

a particular direction. It is related to gain but is a measure of
the concentration of radiation in a specific direction.

- Efficiency: The ratio of the power actually radiated by the

antenna to the input power supplied to the antenna. It
indicates how effectively the antenna converts input power
into radiated power.

2. Antenna Radiation Parameters:

Antenna radiation parameters are quantitative measures used

to characterize the performance of an antenna in terms of its
radiation properties. Some important radiation parameters
include:

- Radiation Efficiency: The efficiency with which an antenna

converts input power into radiated power. It is a measure of
how well the antenna functions in transmitting or receiving
signals.

- Polarization: The orientation of the electric field vector of

the radiated electromagnetic wave with respect to the Earth's
surface. Antennas can be linearly polarized (vertical or
horizontal) or circularly polarized.
- Bandwidth: The range of frequencies over which an antenna
can operate effectively without significant degradation in
performance. It is an important parameter for determining the
versatility of an antenna.

- VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): A measure of how

well an antenna is matched to the transmission line feeding it.
A low VSWR indicates good impedance matching and
efficient power transfer.

3. Antenna Radiation Pattern:

The radiation pattern of an antenna is a graphical

representation of how the antenna radiates electromagnetic
energy into space in different directions. It provides
information about the directional properties of the antenna
and is essential for understanding its performance. The
radiation pattern is typically presented as a 2D or 3D plot
showing the power radiated by the antenna as a function of
direction. Key features of an antenna radiation pattern
include:

- Main Lobe: The primary lobe in the radiation pattern that

contains the maximum radiation intensity. It represents the
main direction in which the antenna radiates energy.

- Side Lobes: Secondary lobes in the radiation pattern that

contain radiation intensity lower than that of the main lobe.
Side lobes can contribute to unwanted interference or signal
leakage.

- Beamwidth: The angular width of the main lobe in the

radiation pattern, typically defined as the angle between two
points where the radiation intensity drops to half (-3 dB) of
the maximum value.

- Nulls: Regions in the radiation pattern where radiation

intensity is significantly lower than in other directions. Nulls
indicate directions where little or no energy is radiated by the
antenna.
4. Types of Antennas:

There are various types of antennas designed for specific

applications based on their operating principles, size, shape,
and radiation characteristics. Some common types of antennas
include:

- Dipole Antenna: A simple antenna consisting of two

conductors oriented in a straight line. Dipole antennas are
widely used for radio and television broadcasting.

- Yagi-Uda Antenna: A directional antenna consisting of

multiple elements (driven element, reflector, and directors)
arranged in a specific configuration to achieve high gain and
directivity.

- Patch Antenna: A flat, low-profile antenna commonly used

in wireless communication systems, such as Wi Fi routers
and RFID tags.

- Parabolic Reflector Antenna: An antenna design that uses a

parabolic reflector to focus incoming or outgoing
electromagnetic waves, commonly used for satellite
communication and radar systems.

- Helical Antenna: An antenna with a helical structure that

provides circular polarization and high gain, often used in
satellite communication and mobile communication systems.

- Log-Periodic Antenna: An antenna design that offers a wide

bandwidth and consistent performance over a range of
frequencies, suitable for applications requiring broad
frequency coverage.

These are just a few examples of the many types of antennas

available, each with unique characteristics and applications
based on their design and operating principles.

#Communication System II (7.5)

5. Differentiate the analog and digital communication
components:

Analog Communication Components:

- Analog communication involves the transmission of
continuous signals that vary in amplitude, frequency, or phase
to convey information.

- In analog communication, the key components include

analog signals, continuous wave modulation techniques (such
as Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation
(FM)), analog filters, and analog demodulators.

- Analog signals can take on any value within a continuous

range, and their characteristics are subject to degradation due
to noise and interference during transmission.

Digital Communication Components:

- Digital communication involves the transmission of discrete

signals representing binary data (0s and 1s) using techniques
such as Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM) and digital
modulation schemes like Phase Shift Keying (PSK) and
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM).
- The key components of digital communication include
digital signals, digital modulation techniques, digital filters,
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and digital-to-analog
converters (DACs).

- Digital signals have discrete values and are less susceptible

to noise and interference compared to analog signals. They
can be accurately reproduced at the receiver end.

6. Explain multiplexing and d-multiplex techniques:

Multiplexing:

- Multiplexing is the process of combining multiple signals

(analog or digital) into a single composite signal for
transmission over a shared medium.

- Multiplexing allows efficient utilization of the transmission

medium by enabling multiple signals to be transmitted
simultaneously without interference.
- Common multiplexing techniques include Frequency
Division Multiplexing (FDM), Time Division Multiplexing
(TDM), and Code Division Multiplexing (CDM).

De-multiplexing:

- De-multiplexing is the process of separating the combined

multiplexed signal back into its original individual signals at
the receiving end.

- De-multiplexing techniques are designed to extract and

recover the original signals from the composite signal without
interference or loss of information.

- De-multiplexing techniques correspond to the multiplexing

methods used, such as Frequency Division De-multiplexing,
Time Division De-multiplexing, and Code Division De-
multiplexing.

7. Differentiate PAM, PWM, PPM:

PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation):

- PAM is a digital modulation technique where the amplitude

of a series of pulses is varied according to the amplitude of
the modulating signal.

- In PAM, the amplitude of the analog signal is sampled at

regular intervals, and each sample is represented by a
corresponding pulse amplitude.

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation):

- PWM is a digital modulation technique where the width of

the pulses in a pulse train is varied based on the amplitude of
the modulating signal.

- In PWM, the pulse width is varied in proportion to the

analog signal's amplitude, resulting in a pulse train with
varying widths.

PPM (Pulse Position Modulation):

- PPM is a digital modulation technique where the position of
the pulses in a pulse train is varied based on the amplitude of
the modulating signal.

- In PPM, the time position of each pulse is varied to

represent different amplitude levels of the modulating signal.

8. Identify the digital modulation techniques:

Digital Modulation Techniques:

- Digital modulation techniques are used to encode digital

data onto an analog carrier wave for transmission over a
communication channel.

- Common digital modulation techniques include Amplitude

Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), Phase
Shift Keying (PSK), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(QAM), and Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK).

9. Execute the main characteristics and signal behavior of

line coding schemes:

Line Coding Schemes:

- Line coding is a technique used to convert digital data into a
digital signal suitable for transmission over a communication
channel.

- Main characteristics of line coding schemes include data

rate, bandwidth efficiency, clock recovery capability, error
detection andcorrection, and synchronization requirements.

- Line coding schemes determine how digital data bits are

mapped into signal elements (e.g., voltage levels or phase
shifts) for transmission.

Signal Behavior:

- Line coding schemes influence signal behavior by defining

how digital data transitions are encoded into physical signal
waveforms.

- Signal behavior includes characteristics such as signal

spectrum, power efficiency, immunity to noise, and the ability
to recover clock synchronization at the receiver end.
10. Compare the parameters of digital modulation
including bit rate, baud rate, and M-array coding:

Bit Rate:

- Bit rate refers to the number of bits transmitted per unit of

time and is measured in bits per second (bps). It represents the
rate at which information is conveyed in a digital signal.

Baud Rate:

- Baud rate refers to the number of signal elements (such as

symbols or pulses) transmitted per second and is measured in
baud. It represents the rate at which the physical signal
changes.

M-array Coding:
- M-array coding refers to the number of distinct symbols or
signal levels used in a digital modulation scheme. For
example, in QAM, M-array represents the number of different
amplitude and phase combinations used to represent data.

Comparison:

- Bit rate and baud rate are related but not equal. In some
cases, one baud can represent more than one bit (e.g., in
QAM), resulting in a higher bit rate than baud rate.

- M-array coding affects both bit rate and baud rate, as higher
M-array values allow more bits to be transmitted per symbol
interval, increasing the bit rate while keeping baud rate
constant.

#Data Communication and Networking (7.5)

11. Differentiate TCP/IP with OSI:

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol):

- TCP/IP is a suite of communication protocols used for
connecting devices on the internet and other networks. It
provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should
be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received at
the destination.

- TCP/IP model has four layers: Application, Transport,

Internet, and Network Access. It is a simpler and more widely
used model compared to OSI.

- The TCP/IP model's layers are less rigidly defined and often
handle multiple functions within a single layer.

OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Model:

- The OSI model is a conceptual framework used to

understand network protocols and communication between
different systems. It consists of seven layers: Physical, Data
Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and
Application.
- The OSI model provides a clear separation between the
functions of each layer and is more detailed and
comprehensive than the TCP/IP model.

- OSI model is not as widely implemented as TCP/IP and is

mainly used as a reference model for understanding network
communication.

12. Discuss guided and unguided transmission media:

Guided Transmission Media:

- Guided transmission media refers to the physical medium

through which signals are transmitted, such as copper wires,
coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables.

- Signals in guided transmission media are confined within a

physical path, which helps in reducing signal interference and
attenuation.
- Examples of guided transmission media include twisted pair
cables used in Ethernet connections and fiber optic cables
used for high-speed data transmission.

Unguided Transmission Media:

- Unguided transmission media, also known as wireless or

unbounded media, refers to the transmission of signals
through the air or space without the use of a physical
conductor.

- Signals in unguided transmission media propagate freely

through the atmosphere and are susceptible to interference
from other wireless devices and environmental factors.

- Examples of unguided transmission media include radio

waves, microwaves, and infrared signals used in wireless
communication technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and
cellular networks.
13. Describe network typologies:

Network Typologies:

- Network typologies refer to the arrangement or layout of

interconnected devices in a computer network. Common
network typologies include:

a. Bus Topology: In a bus topology, all devices are connected

to a central cable called the bus. Data is transmitted in both
directions along the bus.

b. Star Topology: In a star topology, all devices are connected

to a central hub or switch. Data is transmitted through the
central device to the intended recipient.

c. Ring Topology: In a ring topology, each device is

connected to two other devices, forming a circular network.
Data travels in one direction around the ring.
d. Mesh Topology: In a mesh topology, every device is
connected to every other device in the network. This provides
redundancy and fault tolerance but requires a large number of
connections.

e. Hybrid Topology: A hybrid topology is a combination of

two or more different network topologies.

14. Differentiate switch, router, and gateway:

Switch:

- A switch is a networking device that operates at the data link

layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It is used to connect
multiple devices within a local area network (LAN) and
forward data frames based on MAC addresses.

Router:
- A router is a networking device that operates at the network
layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. It is used to interconnect
multiple networks and make forwarding decisions based on IP
addresses.

Gateway:

- A gateway is a networking device that acts as an entry/exit

point between two different networks using different
protocols or technologies. It translates data between different
formats or protocols to enable communication between
disparate networks.

15. Differentiate channel access methods:

Channel Access Methods:

- Channel access methods determine how devices share the

available communication channel in a network. Common
channel access methods include:
a. Contention-based Access: In contention-based access
methods, devices compete for access to the channel and may
experience collisions if multiple devices attempt to transmit
simultaneously. Examples include CSMA/CD (used in
Ethernet) and CSMA/CA (used in Wi-Fi).

b. Token Passing: In token passing access methods, a special

token is passed from one device to another, allowing the
device holding the token to transmit data. Examples include
Token Ring networks.

c. Reservation-based Access: In reservation-based access

methods, devices request and reserve time slots for
transmission in advance. Examples include Time Division
Multiple Access (TDMA) used in cellular networks.

16. Apply IP addressing and subnetting:

IP Addressing:
- IP addressing is the process of assigning unique numerical
addresses to devices on a network to enable communication.
IPv4 addresses consist of 32 bits divided into four octets
separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.1.1).

- IPv4 addresses are divided into classes (A, B, C) and can be

public or private. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and
represented in hexadecimal format.

Subnetting:

- Subnetting is the process of dividing a large network into

smaller subnetworks to improve efficiency and security.
Subnetting involves borrowing bits from the host portion of
an IP address to create subnets.

- Subnet masks are used to determine the network portion and

host portion of an IP address. Subnetting allows for better
address allocation and reduces network congestion by
segmenting traffic.
