SOL 1.1.4 Option (B) is correct.Option (A), (B), (D) are the properties of vector product.Now we check the relation defined in option (C). Since the triple cross product is not associative in general so, the given relation is incorrect. This inequality can be explained by considering vector A B= and C ,perpendicular to A as shown in the figure.According to right hand rule we determine that B C#^ h points out of the page and so A B C# #^ h points down that has magnitude ABC .But in L.H.S. of the relation, since A B=So we have ( )A B# 0=and hence ( )A B C# # 0=Therefore A B C# #^ h 0 A B C! # #= ^ h

SOL 1.1.5 Option (B) is correct.As the direction of cross vector is normal to the plane. So, direction of B C# will be normal to the plane defined by the three vectors.Now the dot product of two mutually perpendicular vectors is always zero and since the direction of B C# will be perpendicular to the plane of vector A. So A B C: #^ h will be zero.

SOL 1.1.6 Option (C) is correct.Consider the two vectors A and B are as shown below.

As the angle between the two vectors is a.So component of vector A along B is A1 cos Aa= ^ h

cosine of the angle between the two vectors is defined as

So, A1 AB AA B:= b l

So when the charge enclosed by the volume is zero then the net outward flux is zero, or in other words, the net electric field flux emanating from an arbitrary surface not enclosing a point charge is zero.Now, the electric field intensity outside a charged sphere having total charge Q is determined by treating the sphere as a point charge

Thus D /C ma4 r2=

SOL 2.1.20 Option (D) is correct.As the point charge is located at origin. So flux due to it will be emanating from all the eight quadrants symmetrically.So the flux through the portion of plane 2 mx y+ = lying in first octant is /1 8 of the total flux emanating from the charge located at origin.and from Gauss law, total flux 8 CQenc= =

SOL 2.2.33 Option (B) is correct.The portion of the plane 1 my z+ = lying in the first octant bounded by the planes x 0= and 1 mx = has been shown in the figure through which we have to determine the total electric field flux.

According to Gauss law the total outward flux through a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed by it.

SOL 2.2.34 Option (D) is correct.Consider a point P inside the cylindrical surface of 2 m as shown in figure.

Now we make the use of superposition to evaluate the electric field at point P by considering the given charge distribution as the sum of two uniformly distributed cylindrical charges, one of radius 5 m and the other of radius 2 m, and such that the total charge in the hole is zero. Thus we obtain the net electric field at point P as Enet E E1 2= +where E1 is the electric field intensity at point P due to the uniformly charged cylinder of radius 5 m that has the charge density /nC m5 3

^ h, while E2 is the electric field intensity at point P due to charged cylinder of radius 2 m that has the charge density 5 /nC m3-^ h

SOL 3.2.18 Option (C) is correct.As calculated above the volume charge density inside the cylinder is zero while the surface charge density at top and bottom surfaces are respectively P+ and P- , so the cylinder can be considered as the two circular plates (top and bottom surface) separated by a distance L . Since the separation between the plates is larger than the cross sectional radius (L r2= ) so the fringing field(electric field) will exist directed from the upper plate towards the lower plate.

SOL 3.2.19 Option (A) is correct.The electric flux lines will be the same as the electric field intensity outside the cylinder but as the volume charge density is zero 0vr = inside the cylinder so

dD S 0: =# and therefore the flux lines will be continuous.

SOL 3.2.20 Option (A) is correct.Consider the surface charge density on the parallel plates is !rS so the electric flux density between the plates is defined as D anr= S

where an is the unit vector normal to the surface of plates directed from one plate toward the other plate.Since permittivity changes from layer to layer, but the field is normal to the surface so electric flux density D will be uniform throughout the plate separation as from boundary condition.So the electric field intensity at any point between the parallel plates is

SOLUTIONS 4.1

SOL 4.1.1 Option (D) is correct.It is not possible to have an isolated magnetic poles (or magnetic charges). If we desire to have an isolated magnetic dipole by dividing a magnetic bar successively into two, we end up with pieces each having north and south poles. So an isolated magnetic charge doesn’t exist.That’s why the total flux through a closed surface in a magnetic field must be zero.

i.e. dB S:# 0=or more clear, we can write that for a static magnetic field the total number of flux lines entering a given region is equal to the total number of flux lines leaving the region.So, (A) and (R) are both true and R is correct explanation of A.

SOL 4.1.2 Option (B) is correct.

SOL 4.1.3 Option (D) is correct.Since the field intensity exists in a closed surface and lines of field intensity makes a closed curve so the flux lines leaving the spherical surface equal to the total flux entering the surface and So the net flux

F dB S 0:= =#According to divergence theorem

dB S:# dvB:d= ^ h# 0 dvB:d= #Since volume of the sphere will have certain finite value so, B:d 0=or H:d 0= at all points inside the sphere

Since an accelerated electron doesn’t form any current element(Idl ) so it is not a source of magnetic field.

According to Ampere’s circuital law, the line integral of magnetic field intensity H around a closed path is equal to the net current enclosed by the path.

SOL 4.1.11 Option (B) is correct.According to Ampere’s circuital law the contour integral of magnetic field intensity in a closed path is equal to the current enclosed by the path.

i.e. dH l:# Ienc=Now using right hand rule, we obtain the direction of the magnetic field intensity in the loop as it will be opposite to the direction of L.

So, dH l:# Ienc=- 20 A=-(10 A is not inside the loop. So it won’t be considered.)

SOL 4.1.12 Option (C) is correct.The magnetic field intensity produced at a distance r from an infinitely long straight wire carrying current I is defined as

H I2pr=

As determined by right hand rule, the direction of magnetic field intensity will be same(in ay- direction) due to both the current source. So, at point P the net magnetic field intensity due to both the current carrying wires will be H H H1 2= +

H aI2=

So by symmetry the semicircular loop will produce the field intensity half to the field intensity produced by complete circular loop.

i.e. Field intensity at the centre of semicircular loop H21= a

I4=

SOL 4.1.14 Option (C) is correct.Since current in the wire is distributed over the outer surface so net enclosed current, Ienc for any Amperian loop inside the wire will be zero.and as from Ampere’s circuital law we have

dH l:# Ienc=

So dH l:# 0= (I 0enc = )

or H 0= for r R<

SOL 4.1.15 Option (C) is correct.Consider the cylindrical wire is lying along z-axis as shown in the figure. As the current I is distributed over the outer surface of the cylinder so for an Amperian

SOL 4.1.16 Option (A) is correct.Since the current flows from Q1 and terminates at Q2 and the charge Q2 is located at the surface of the contour so the actual current is not enclosed by the closed path and the circulation of the field is given as

dB l:# Id enc0m= 6 @ I 0c enc =^ h6 @

and Id enc6 @ dtd d dE S E S0 1 0 2: :e e= +: D# #

Since the infinite current sheet is located in the plane z 0= so, the z -component of the magnetic flux density will be cancelled due to symmetry and in the closed Amperian loop the integral will be only along y -axis. Thus we have (2 )lB Ienc0m= 2 lB Kl0m= ( )I Klenc =As determined by right hand rule, the magnetic flux density above the plane z 0= will be in ay- direction.

H1 (3 ) ( )a a21

and the field intensity produced between the two sheets due to the sheet 3K az2 =- located at 2 mx =- is

Therefore the net magnetic field intensity produced at any point between the two sheets is H H H1 2= + 3ay=-Since the magnetic field intensity at any point is the equal to the negative gradient of scalar potential at the point i.e. H Vmd=-

So for the field H 3ay=- in the region between the two current carrying sheets, we have

SOL 5.1.1 Option (A) is correct.Force applied by a magnetic field B on a moving charge with velocity v is defined as F v B#=Since the direction of velocity v and B are perpendicular to each other as obtainde from the shown figure so the resultant force will be perpendicular to both of them.i.e. the force on the moving charged particle will be in upward direction.and as the particle is also deflected in upward direction with the applied force so it gives the conclusion that the particle will be positively charged.

SOL 5.1.2 Option (D) is correct.Since a magnet bar must have south and north pole i.e. a single pole charge can’t exist. So, a magnetic point charge doesn’t exit.

SOL 5.1.3 Option (B) is correct.Force applied on a moving charge in the presence of electric and magnetic field is defined as F ( )qF F E v Be m #= + = +where Fe and Fm are the electric and magnetic forces applied on the charge so it is clear that the moving charge experiences both the electric and magnetic forces.The electric force is applied in a uniform direction (in direction of electric field) i.e. it is an accelerating force while, the magnetic force is applied in the normal direction of both the magnetic field and velocity of the charged particle i.e. it is a deflecting force.Therefore, both the options are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

SOL 5.1.4 Option (A) is correct.For a moving charge Q in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, the total force on the charge is given by F ( )Q vE B#= +6 @

where E " electric field v " velocity of the charge B " magnetic flux densitySince the electron beam follows its path without any deflection so the net force applied by the field will be zero

i.e. B n1 B n2=(ii) Tangential component of magnetic field intensity is continuous.

i.e. H t1 H t2=So, (A) and (B) are wrong statement. Now, we check the statement (C).

Consider the magnetic field intensity in 1st medium is H1 and magnetic field intensity in 2nd medium is H2. So, it’s tangential component will be equali.e. H t1 H t2= (tangential component)Since scalar magnetic potential difference is defined as the line integral of magnetic field intensity

i.e. V V1 2- d IH l:= =#and since there is no current density at boundary.So, we have V V1 2- 0= V1 V2=i.e. magnetic scalar potential will be same in both medium.

SOL 5.1.9 Option (C) is correct.The magnetic field intensity produced at any point in the free space will be the vector sum of the field intensity produced by all the current sheets.Since, the magnetic field intensity produced at any point P due to an infinite sheet carrying uniform current density K is defined as

H ( )K a21

n#=

where an is the unit vector normal to the sheet directed toward the point P . So in the region 1z0 < < magnetic field intensity due to K2 and K3 will be cancelled as the unit normal vector to the two sheets will be opposite to each other.Therefore in this region magnetic field intensity will be produced only due to the current density 4K ax1 = which is given as

Therefore the electric field will accelerate the particle in y -direction and as it picks up speed (consider the velocity is kv ay= , k is very small) a magnetic force develops which will be given by F v B#=since the magnetic field is in az direction while the beam has the velocity in ay direction so the magnetic force will be in ax (a ay z# ) direction.Therefore the magnetic force will pull the charged particle around to the right and as the magnetic force will be always perpendicular to both the velocity of particle and electric field. So the particle will initially goes up in the y -direction and then following a curve path lowers down towards the x -axis.

So the magnetic force applied by the field B0 on the wire is Fm ILB0= where L is length of the wireAt balanced condition the magnetic force will be equal to the gravitational force : Fm mg=where m is the mass of the wire and g is acceleration due to gravity.So comparing the two results we get the current flowing in the wire as

SOL 6.1.1 Option (C) is correct.

SOL 6.1.2 Option (B) is correct.The line integral of magnetic field intensity along a closed loop is equal to the current enclosed by it.

i.e. dH l:# Ienc=So, for the constant current, magnetic field intensity will be constant i.e. magnetostatic field is caused by steady currents.

SOL 6.1.3 Option (D) is correct.From Faraday’s law the electric field intensity in a time varying field is defined as

E#d tB22=- where B is magnetic flux density in the EM field.

and since the magnetic flux density is equal to the curl of magnetic vector potentiali.e. B A#d=So, putting it in equation (1), we get

E#d t

or E#d tA#d

Therefore, E tA

:# ( )dvB 0v

:d= =# (Stokes Theorem)

Thus, net outwards flux will be zero for a closed surface.

Since the electric field inside a conducting sphere is zero.i.e. E 0=So the rate of change in magnetic flux density will be

tB22 ( )E#d=- 0=

Therefore ( , )r tB will be uniform inside the sphere and independent of time.

SOL 6.1.6 Option (B) is correct.From the integral form of Faraday’s law we have the relation between the electric field intensity and net magnetic flux through a closed loop as

dE l:# dtdF=-

Since electric field intensity is zero (E 0= ) inside the conducting loop. So, the rate of change in net magnetic flux through the closed loop is

dtdF 0=

i.e. F is constant and doesn’t vary with time.

SOL 6.1.7 Option (A) is correct.A superconductor material carries zero magnetic field and zero electric field inside it. i.e. B 0= and 0E =Now from Ampere-Maxwell equation we have the relation between the magnetic flux density and electric field intensity as

B#d t

J E0 0 0 2

2m m e= +

So, J 0= (B 0= , 0E = )Since the net current density inside the superconductor is zero so all the current must be confined at the surface of the wire.

SOL 6.1.8 Option (A) is correct.According to Lenz’s law the induced current I in a loop flows such as to produce a magnetic field that opposes the change in ( )tB .Now the configuration shown in option (A) and (B) for increasing magnetic flux Bi , the change in flux is in same direction to Bi as well as the current I flowing in the loop produces magnetic field in the same direction so it does not follow the Lenz’s law.For the configuration shown in option (D), as the flux Bd is decreasing with time so the change in flux is in opposite direction to Bd as well as the current I flowing in the loop produces the magnetic field in opposite direction so it also does not follow the Lenz’s law.For the configuration shown in option (C), the flux density Bd is decreasing with time so the change in flux is in opposite direction to Bd but the current I flowing in the loop produces magnetic field in the same direction to Bd (opposite to the direction of change in flux density). Therefore this is the correct configuration.

For View Only Shop Online at www.nodia.co.inSOL 6.1.9 Option (A) is correct.

Induced emf in a conducting loop is given by

Vemf dtdF=- where F is total magnetic flux passing through the loop.

Since, the magnetic field is non-uniform so the change in flux will be caused by it and the induced emf due to it is called transformer emf.Again the field is in ay direction and the loop is rotating about z -axis so flux through the loop will also vary due to the motion of the loop. This causes the emf which is called motion emf. Thus, total induced voltage in the rotating loop is caused by the combination of both the transformer and motion emf.

SOL 6.1.10 Option (D) is correct.As the conducting loop is falling freely So, the flux through loop will remain constant. Therefore, the voltage induced in the loop will be zero.

SOL 6.1.11 Option (B) is correct.The magnetic flux density passing through the loop is given as B 4z t ax3 2=Since the flux density is directed normal to the plane x 0= so the total magnetic flux passing through the square loop located in the plane x 0= is

Therefore at time t sec2= the induced emf is Vemf 4 volt=-

SOL 6.1.12 Option (A) is correct.Magnetic flux density produced at a distance r from a long straight wire carrying current I is defined as

B I a20

prm= f

where af is the direction of flux density as determined by right hand rule. So the flux density produced by straight wire at a distance r from it is

Therefore, the voltage difference between the two ends of the conductor is given as

Thus, the positive terminal of voltage will be a and Vab will be positive.

The induced emf (voltage) in the loop is given as

SOL 6.1.15 Option (D) is correct.Consider a magnet bar being dropped inside a pipe as shown in figure.Suppose the current I in the magnet flows counter clockwise (viewed from above) as shown in figure. So near the ends of pipe, it’s field points upward. A ring of pipe below the magnet experiences an increasing upward flux as the magnet approaches and hence by Lenz’s law a current will be induced in it such as to produce downward flux. Thus, Iind must flow clockwise which is opposite to the current in the magnet. Since opposite currents repel each other so, the force exerted on the magnet due to the induced current is directed upward. Meanwhile a ring above the magnet experiences a decreasing upward flux; so it’s induced current parallel to I and it attracts magnet upward. And flux through the rings next to the magnet bar is constant. So no current is induced in them.

Thus, for all we can say that the force exerted by the eddy current (induced current according to Lenz’s law) on the magnet is in upward direction which causes the delay to reach the bottom. Whereas in the cases of unmagnetized bar no induced current is formed. So it reaches in fraction of time.Thus, A and R both true and R is correct explanation of A.

Since current I flowing in the solenoid is constant so, the induced emf is Vemf 0=and therefore the induced current in the loop will be zero.

SOL 6.3.10 Option (A) is correct.Faraday’s law states that for time varying field,

E#d tB22=-

Since, the curl of gradient of a scalar function is always zeroi.e. V#d d̂ h 0=So, the expression for the field, E Vd=- must include some other terms is

SOL 6.3.27 Option (D) is correct.All of the given expressions are Maxwell’s equation.

SOL 6.3.28 Option (D) is correct.The direction of magnetic flux due to the current ‘i ’ in the conductor is determined by right hand rule. So, we get the flux through A is pointing into the paper while the flux through B is pointing out of the paper.According to Lenz’s law the induced e.m.f. opposes the flux that causes it. So again by using right hand rule we get the direction of induced e.m.f. is anticlockwise in A and clockwise in B .

where tD22 is displacement current density which is a necessary term.

Therefore A and R both are true and R is correct explanation of A.

SOL 6.3.41 Option (D) is correct.For any loop to have an induced e.m.f., magnetic flux lines must link with the coil.Observing all the given figures we conclude that loop C1 and C2 carries the flux lines through it and so both the loop will have an induced e.m.f.

SOL 6.3.42 Option (A) is correct.Since, the circular loop is rotating about the y -axis as a diameter and the flux lines is directed in ax direction. So, due to rotation magnetic flux changes and as the flux density is function of time so, the magnetic flux also varies w.r.t time and therefore the induced e.m.f. in the loop is due to a combination of transformer and motional e.m.f. both.

The general expression for magnetic field intensity of a plane wave travelling in positive x -direction is H cosH e t x ax

Comparing the equation (1) and (2) we get,Wave frequency, w 10 / secrad6=

and the wave travels in x+ -direction.Since, the magnetic field intensity points toward az direction and the wave propagates in ax+ direction. So, direction of electric field intensity will be aE a a a a ak H x z y##=- =- =^ hTherefore, the wave is polarized in ay direction (direction of electric field intensity).

SOL 8.1.29 Option (C) is correct.Since the transmission line has one short circuited and one open circuited end so at the short circuit end voltage must be zero while at open circuit end voltage must be maximum. So the voltage standing wave pattern will be half sinusoids with zeros at short circuited end and maxima at the open circuited end.

SOL 8.1.30 Option (C) is correct.The natural frequency of oscillation of a wave in a transmission line of length l which is open circuited at one end and short circuited at other end is given as

where vp is phase velocity of the wave.

SOL 8.1.31 Option (C) is correct.The dimension of the transmission line will remain same at all frequencies i.e. l will be constant but as it is defined in terms of wavelength which changes with the frequency so , the expression for length will vary in terms of wavelength l. The wavelength of a wave is defined in terms of frequency f as

l fc=

where, c is the velocity of wave in free space so, at 500 Hzf = we have

l c500=

Therefore, the length of transmission line is

l 4l= c

2000= (1)

Now, the wavelength at frequency, 1 1000kHz Hzf = = is given as

l c1000= (2)

Since, the length of the transmission line will be same as determined in equation (1). So, we get

l c2000=

So, for determining the input impedance at a distance of .0 35l from the load we follow the steps as explained below :(1) First we draw a SWR circle (circle centered at origin with radius OP )

(2) For finding input impedance at a distance of .0 35l from load we move a distance of .0 35l on WTG scale (wave length toward generator) along the SWR circle.

SOL 8.2.24 Option (C) is correct.For determining the shortest length of the transmission line for which the input impedance appears to be purely resistive, we follow the steps as explained below :(1) First we determine the WTG reading of the point denoting the normalized

load impedance on the smith chart. From the above question, we have the reading of point P as .0 144l on WTG circle.

(2) Since, the resistive load lies on the real axis of reflection coefficient ( rG -axis). So, we move along the SWR circle to reach the rG -axis and denote the points as A and B .

(4) Since, point B is nearer to the point P so, it will give the shortest length of the transmission line for which the input impedance appears to be purely resistive.

(5) Now, we have the reading of point B on WTG scale as .0 25l. So, the shortest length for the input impedance to be purely resistive is given as the difference between the readings at point B and P . i.e.,

l . .0 25 0 144l l= - .0 106l=

SOL 8.2.25 Option (A) correct.The voltage maximum occurs at the point where the SWR circle intersects the positive rG axis on smith chart. The SWR circle of the load impedance intersects the positive rG axis at point B as shown in the Smith chart. So, the point B gives the position of first voltage maxima.As calculated in previous question the distance between point B and point A on the WTG scale is .0 106l. Therefore, the 1st voltage maximum occurs at a distance of .0 106l from load.

SOL 8.2.26 Option (B) is correct.At any time t , the currents of positive and negative waves are respectively I+ and I- and the voltages of positive and negative waves are respectively V+ and V- as shown in the figure.

^ ^h h (1)So, we conclude that the wave is propagating in az direction. Since, the wave has it’s component of electric field in the direction of propagation so, the waveguide is operating in TMmn (Transverse magnetic) mode.Now for determining the value of m and n , we compare the phasor form of electric field to its general equation given as.

Ezs sin sinE am x

j zp p= b-a ak k (2)

where a and b are the dimensions of waveguide and since, the waveguide has the dimension 10 4 cm# so, we get a 10 cm= and 4 cmb =Now, comparing equation (1) and (2) we get

am xp x20p= & m 2=

Thus, the mode of propagation of wave is TM21.

SOL 9.1.2 Option (A) is correct.A wave mode propagates in a waveguide only if it’s frequency is greater than cutoff frequency. If there is no any propagating mode inside the waveguide then energy in the propagating mode is zero. So, average power flow down the waveguide below cutoff frequency is zero.i.e. Both the statements are correct and R is correct explanation of A.

SOL 9.1.3 Option (C) is correct.The intrinsic impedance of an airfilled waveguide for TM mode is defined as

But E 0z = for the TEM mode so, no axial displacement current can exist. Also, since there is no center conductor so, no axial conduction current can exist. Therefore statement 1 is correct.Statement 2The dominant mode is the mode that has lowest cutoff frequency. Now, f ,c mn is clearly minimized when either m or n is zero. Since, TM01 or TM10 mode doesn’t exist so, TM mode can’t be the dominant mode of propagation in rectangular waveguide.It is also correct statement.

SOL 9.1.19 Option (C) is correct.For a TMmnp mode, neither m nor n can be zero otherwise all field components vanish, however p can be zero. So, the lowest order TM mode is TM110.

SOL 9.1.20 Option (D) is correct.Since, TEmnp mode of cavity resonator can have either m 0= or n 0= (but not both at a time) where as p can’t be zero for TE mode so, the lowest order of TE mode is TE011 if a b< TE101 if a b>As the dimensions of the cavity resonator are equal (a b= ) so, both the TE101 and TE011 are lowest order mode.

SOL 9.1.21 Option (D) is correct.Given, the dimensions of cavity resonator are related as a b c> > (1)The condition for propagating TE and TM modes in a cavity resonator are as follows :(1) for TMmnp mode, neither m nor n can be zero however p can be zero.

A rectangular coaxial line can support all the three modes (TE, TM or TEM).

SOL 9.3.38 Option (C) is correct.Consider the rectangular waveguide (A) has the dimension a b# after deforming into waveguide (C) the dimension is changed to b a# and so the input mode TE10 is charged to TE01. (Since the frequency of mode must remain same for both the waveguide dimensions).

SOL 9.3.39 Option (D) is correct.The dominant mode in a circular waveguide is TE11.

SOL 9.3.40 Option (B) is correct.Consider the dimension of inner broad wall of waveguide is a (i.e. a b> ). So, the dominant mode will be TE10.Since, the cutoff frequency of the TEmn mode is defined as

SOL 9.3.41 Option (A) is correct.Propagation constant in a waveguide is defined as

g 2 f ff1cc

2

p me= - c m

Since, for the evanescent mode of waveguide the operating frequency is less than the cutoff frequency.i.e. f f< c

or ffc 1<

So, for this condition the propagation constant g is purely real.

SOL 9.3.42 Option (C) is correct.Microstrip lines consist no ground plate and so the electric field lines remain partially in air and partially in the lower dielectric substrate. This makes the mode of propagation quasi TEM (not pure TEM)Due to the open structure and presence of discontinuity in microstrip line, it radiates electromagnetic energy and therefore radiation losses take place.

SOL 9.3.43 Option (B) is correct.Statements 1 and 3 are correct.

SOL 9.3.44 Option (C) is correct.

Modes on microstrip lines are quasi TEM (not purely TEM). So the 1st statement is incorrect while rest of the statements are correct.

SOL 9.3.45 Option (D) is correct.Coaxial line " The dominant mode of propagation is TEM. 4a "^ h

Rectangular waveguide " propagating mode is TE or TM. 1b "^ h

Microstrip line " The mode of propagation is Quasi TEM. 2c "^ h

Coplanar waveguide " The propagation mode is hybrid of propagation TE TMmn mn+^ h 3d "^ h

SOL 9.3.46 Option (B) is correct.The phase velocity of TE or TM mode is defined as

vp

ff

c

1 c2

=- c m

where c " Velocity of wave in free space fc " cutoff frequency f " operating frequencySo, vp is a nonlinear function of frequency.

SOL 9.3.47 Option (C) is correct.A waveguide operated below cut off frequency can be used as an attenuator.

SOL 9.3.48 Option (C) is correct.Quality factor of a waveguide is defined as

Q v2 gaw= i.e. Q closely related to a.

Also the attenuation factors obtained in waveguides are much higher than that in transmission lines.So, both statements are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

SOL 9.3.49 Option (C) is correct.Quality factor (Q ) of a resonator is defined as

Q ( )Re

Bandwidthsonant freqeuncy fr=

or, Bandwidth Qf

Q1r

\=

Therefore, the greater the ‘Q ’, the smaller the bandwidth of resonatorQ is also defined for a resonator as

Q 2ab=

where b is phase constant and a is attenuation constant of a resonator given as

a 2 \wms w=

So Q 1\ w

So, at higher frequency the Q of coil falls due to skin effect.

Guided wavelength of a propagating wave in rectangular waveguide is

l=- b l

where l is free space wavelength and cl is cutoff frequency.Since, for propagation the operating wavelength must be less than cut off frequencyi.e. l c# lSo, we get gl $ lSo, for a wave propagation in an air filled rectangular waveguide, guided wavelength is never less than free space wavelength.

SOL 9.3.51 Option (A) is correct.Transverse magnetic mode (TM mode) consists of magnetic field intensity perpendicular to the direction of propagation where as the electric field intensity may be in the direction of propagation.

SOL 9.3.52 Option (D) is correct.Since the conduction current requires conductor along the axis and a hollow waveguide doesn’t have a conductor along its axis. So, the axial current is due to displacement current only.

r0 d2 2

l= where d is the length of dipole.

where, R is the distance from antenna, d is the largest dimension of antenna and l is the operating wavelength of antenna. So, any target located at a distance R > 2D2

l from antenna is in the far zone for the antenna and any target located at a distance R < 2D2

l is in the near zone.

SOL 10.3.35 Option (B) is correct.Gain of transmitting antenna, Gdt 10=Transmitted power, Pt 1W=Effective area of receiving antenna, Aer 1 m2=Distance between transmitter and receiver, r 1 m=So, total received power by the receiving antenna is

SOL 10.3.37 Option (C) is correct.Helical antenna is used to provide circularly polarized wave and the log periodic antenna is frequency independent.

SOL 10.3.38 Option (C) is correct.For a wave travelling from medium 1 to medium 2, the incidence angle cq of the wave for which it is totally reflected by medium 2 is given as sinn c1 q sinn 902 c= (1)where n1 and n2 are the refractive index of medium 1 and medium 2 respectively.Since, refracting index of a medium having permittivity e and permeability m is defined as n me=So, putting it in equation (1), we get sin c0 1m e q 0 2m e=

SOL 10.3.39 Option (C) is correct.

Yagi-Uda antenna must have one reflector and one driven element while it can have any number of directors. So, the four element Yagi-Uda antenna will have 2 directors, one reflector, and one driven element.

SOL 10.3.40 Option (B) is correct.Directivity of an antenna is directly proportional to the effective area and therefore larger the effective area, sharper the radiated beam.This is the reason for using an aperture antenna instead a linear antenna for extremely high frequency ranges.

SOL 10.3.41 Option (B) is correct.Current distortion along a travelling wave antenna in general is defined as ,I z t^ h cos cotI z0 b= -^ h

but when we eliminate t by taking it’s phasor form, the current can be written as I z^ h I e j z0= b-

SOL 10.3.48 Option (B) is correct.D -layer is the lower most region of ionosphere which is present only during the day light hours and disappears at night because recombination rate is highest and also E -region is weekly lonised during night hour hence radiowave suffer negligible attenuation in night hour. This is the reason that the wave band which can’t be heard during day time but may be heard during night time.

SOL 10.3.49 Option (D) is correct.

SOL 10.3.50 Option (B) is correct.The atmosphere has varying density (refractive index) with the height from earth

given as dhdm . Radius of curvature of the wave path is

R ddhm=-

Solving it, we get the effective earth radius (Radio horizon)

34= actual earth radius (optical horizon)

SOL 10.3.51 Option (B) is correct.The radiation resistance of a dipole antenna is defined as

i.e. maximum value of le is less than its actual value 2l .

The effective length is the same for the antenna in transmitting and receiving modes.So, statements, 1, 2 and 4 and correct while statement 3 is incorrect.
