Examination for the BEng (HONS) ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (FULL-TIME/PART TIME). YEAR/STAGE TWO
Tuesday 26 April 2005
2.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Instructions to Candidates
This examination consists of TWO sections: SECTION A and SECTION B. Answer ALL questions in SECTION A and only FOUR questions from SECTION B. No programmable or graphical calculators may be used. No mathematical formula booklets are allowed.
Answer ALL 10 questions in this section. This section carries 40 % of this examination’s mark, and you are advised not to spend more than 60 minutes on it.

[a]Plot the double-sided amplitude line spectrum of the signal; and [b]use Parseval’s theorem to determine the average power in the signal. [5]
The step response of an R-L circuit is modelled by the initial value problem (IVP): ( ) ( ) ( ) (0) 0

Where R is the resistance of the circuit in Ω , L is the inductance in H, is a unit
step function, and V is a dc forcing function in volts. Making use of Laplace transform, solve this IVP to determine the circuit current for.

Answer only FOUR questions from this section. This section carries 60 % of this examination’s mark, and you are expected to complete it in 120 minutes.
Q UESTION B.1 [15 MARKS] In a displacement measuring system, a signal x, representing the displacement to be measured, is produced by a transducer such that 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. The signal is then amplified
by an amplifier whose output y is defined by the function f ( ) x :
10 ( ) , [0,1] 2
y f x x x
[a] Sketch a graph of the function f ( ), x x ∈ [0,1]. [1] [b] Select a suitable point as the centre of a linear Taylor’s polynomial that can approximate the function (^) f ( ) x over the interval x ∈ [0,1]. [1] [c] Determine the linear Taylor’s polynomial in [b] to three decimal places. [5] [d] Use the above approximating polynomial to calculate an estimate of and calculate the actual absolute error in this estimate.
y (0.65)
[e] Calculate an estimate of the upper error bound in approximating y (0.65). [4] [f] Compare this error bound with the actual error in the approximate value of y (0.65). [2]
Q UESTION B.2 [15 MARKS] The mesh equations of an electric network are given by the system of equations:
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
[a] Write the system in matrix form; and [3] [b] use the Gaussian Elimination method to determine the unknown currents. No credit will be given for any other method of solution. [12]
