Section A: Short Answer Questions
- Answer All Questions in SECTION A
- Each question carries 5 marks
Question 1
Find the equivalent resistor (R total) for the network presented in Figure 1A.

Figure 1A [5 Marks]
Answer;
Equation R
= R3 +R4+ R3
=4+2+1
=7
Req= R2 + Req
=1/2 + 1/7
=9/14
= 0.64
Req= 9/14 +4
= 9+56/14
= 65/14
Req = 4.64

Question 2

You have been given a task to select a sensor; name four different selection criteria for your sensor selection, briefly explain two of them.
[5 Marks]
Answer:
- Temperature
- Size
- Protection Glass
- Discrete or analog input
Question 3
Using a simple diagram, briefly explain the speed- torque relation for a DC motor.
[5 Marks]
Answer:
DC motors are relatively simple machines.
When supply voltage is constant, the Torque T is inversely proportional to speed W.
Question 4
For the circuit presented in Figure 2A, find the current I and ð‘‰ð‘œ, if the diode is a silicon type
( ð‘‰ð· = 0.7 ð‘£ð‘œð‘™ð‘¡ð‘ )

[5 Marks]
Answer:
Vd = 0.7V
I = V1R1 - V2R2
=8×1.2 -4.7×0.7
=9.6 - 3.29
=6.31
V = Vin - Vg
=8 - 6
V=2V
Question 5
Overall transfer function for a control system is given by: T(ð‘ ) = 3
ð‘ 2+8ð‘ +3
Considering the damping factor, which type of the system, this transfer function demonstrates?
Answer:
T(s)= 3/ s2+8s+3
T(s) =8/2 =4
T(s) =4>1
So overdamped
