Answer

4(b)(i)

(ii)

Let the equivalent impedance of the parallel combination of R and C be Zp and that of series combination be Zs i.e.;

Simplifying;

Substituting for s = jw;

The gain of the non-inverting amplifier configuration is;

Hence the loop gain is;

Since the loop gain, (bA) must be real at the oscillation frequency wo, the imaginary part of the above equation must be zero. Hence;

Therefore;

Substituting values;

5(a)

Band-pass filter is a filter that passes all signals lying within a band between a lower-frequency limit and upper-frequency limit and essentially rejects all other frequencies that are outside this specified band.

5(c)

(i)

The cutoff frequency for a single-pole low-pass filter is;

(ii)

The pass band voltage gain or the gain of non-inverting amplifier is calculated as follows:

(iii)

Applying the voltage divider rule, the input voltage, which is the voltage across the capacitor C, is determined as follows:

At the cutoff frequency fc, the magnitude of the capacitive reactance XC equals the resistance of the resistor R.

Substituting for 2πRC in Eq. results in the following equation for va:

Where f is the operating frequency and fc is the cutoff frequency.

The output vo is the amplified version of vi.

where Acl(NI) is the pass-band voltage gain or the gain of the non-inverting amplifier.

(a) Explain the following terms as applied to a voltage regulator;

i) line regulation

ii) load regulation

[3 marks]

Anwer

6(a)(i)

Line regulation as applied to a voltage regulator is a measure of its ability to maintain a constant output voltage despite variation in the input voltage. It is the change of output voltage per unit change in the input voltage and is normally expressed in percentage form, thus;

ii)

Load regulation as applied to a voltage regulator is a measure its ability to maintain a constant output voltage despite variation in the load connected its terminal, and is normally express in percentage form, thus;

Question 6

(b) The full-load current of a voltage regulator is 1.5 A and the output voltage at this current is 14.86 V. When the load is disconnected from the regulator, its output voltage is 15.2 V. Determine the load regulation of the regulator.

Answer

6(c)(i)

(ii)

If IL and Vo are constant, IR3 will also be constant. Hence;
