For a given vector w = [1 2 3]T , the vector normal to the plane defined by wTx = 1 is

  1. AOption (a)

    [−2 −2 2]T

  2. BOption (b)

    [3 0 −1]T

  3. COption (c)

    [3 2 1]T

  4. DOption (d)

    [1 2 3]T

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

[1 2 3]T

Why this answer is correct

Given: W = [1, 2, 3]

\(W_x^T=1\)

\( \left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x \ y \ z \end{array}\right]=1 \)

ϕ : x + 2y + 3z = 1

Normal vector or gradient of ϕ = î + 2ĵ + 3k̂

Normal vector = [1, 2, 3]T

Hence, the correct option is (D).

Question 4

GATE EE 2023• Electrical Engineering

Consider a unity-gain negative feedback system consisting of the plant G(s) (given below) and a proportional-integral controller. Let the proportional gain and integral gain be 3 and 1, respectively.

  2. BOption (b)

    1, 0

  3. COption (c)

    1, -1

  4. DOption (d)

    -1, 1

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

-1, 1

Why this answer is correct

Given system can be drawn as shown below,

Here,

X(s) → Controller output

C(s) → Plant output

\( C(s)=R(s) \frac{\left(3+\frac{1}{s}\right)\left(\frac{1}{s-1}\right)}{1+\left(3+\frac{1}{s}\right) \frac{1}{s-1}}\) = \(R(s) \frac{(3 s+1)}{s(s-1)+3 s+1}\) = \(\frac{(3 s+1)}{s(s-1)+3 s+1} \times \frac{1}{s} \)

∴ c(∞) = \(\lim _{s \rightarrow 0} s C(s)=1 \)

\(X(s)=[R(s)-C(s)]\left(3+\frac{1}{s}\right) \)

\(X(s)=[R(s)-C(s)]\left(\frac{3 s+1}{s}\right) \)

\(\rm x(\infty) =\lim s_{s \rightarrow 0}X(s)=\lim _{s \rightarrow 0}R(s)-C(s)\)

\(x(\infty) =\lim _{s \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1}{s}-\frac{1}{s} \frac{(3 s+1)}{\left(s^2+2 s+1\right)}\right)(3 s+1) \)

\(=\lim _{s \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{s}\left[\frac{s^2+2 s+1-3 s-1}{s^2+2 s+1}\right](3 s+1) \)

\(=\lim _{s \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{s}\left[\frac{s^2-s}{s^2+2 s+1}\right](3 s+1)\) = \(\lim _{s \rightarrow 0} \frac{(s-1)(3 s+1)}{s^2+2 s+1}=-1\)

Question 6

GATE EE 2023• Electrical Engineering

A 10-pole, 50 Hz, 240 V, single phase induction motor runs at 540 RPM while driving rated load. The frequency of induced rotor currents due to backward field is

  1. AOption (a)

    100 Hz

  2. BOption (b)

    95 Hz

  3. COption (c)

    10 Hz

  4. DOption (d)

    5 Hz

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

95 Hz

Why this answer is correct

Given : P = 10, f = 50 Hz, Vf = 240 V, Nr = 540 pm

The frequency of induced rotor current due to backward field is given by,

\(N_s=\frac{120 f}{P}=\frac{120 \times 50}{10}=600 \mathrm{rpm} \)

\(S_f=\frac{N_s-N_r}{N_s}\) = \(\frac{600-540}{600}=\frac{60}{600}=0.1\)

As we know, backward field will rotate opposite to forward field so it will try to make the rotor in opposite direction so slip will be

\(S_b=\frac{N_s+N_r}{N_s}\) \(=\frac{600+540}{600}=\frac{1140}{600}=1.9\)

As we know, frequency in the rotor is slip frequency.

So, frequency due to backward slip will be Sbfs = 1.9 × 50 = 95 Hz

Hence, the correct option is (B).

Question 7

GATE EE 2023• Electrical Engineering

A continuous-time system that is initially at rest is described by

\(\rm \frac{dy(t)}{dt}+3y(t)=2x(t)\),

where 𝑥(𝑡) is the input voltage and 𝑦(𝑡) is the output voltage. The impulse response of the system is

  1. AOption (a)

    3e-2t

  2. BOption (b)

    \(\rm \frac{1}{3}e^{-2t}u(t)\)

  3. COption (c)

    2 e-3t u(t)

  4. DOption (d)

    2e-3t

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

2 e-3t u(t)

Why this answer is correct

Given: \(\frac{d y(t)}{d t}+3 y(t)=2 x(t)\)

Taking Laplace transform on both sides, we get

sY(s) + 3Y(s) = 2X(s)

⇒ (s + 3)Y(s) = 2X(s)

⇒ \( \frac{Y(s)}{X(s)}=\frac{2}{s+3} \)

⇒ \(H(s)=\frac{2}{s+3}\)

∴ Impulse response will be, h(t) = L-1(H(s)) = 2e-3tu(t)

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Question 8

GATE EE 2023• Electrical Engineering

The Fourier transform 𝑋(𝜔) of the signal 𝑥(𝑡) is given by

𝑋(𝜔) = 1, for |𝜔| < 𝑊0

= 0, for |𝜔| > 𝑊0

  1. AOption (a)

    𝑥(𝑡) tends to be an impulse as 𝑊0 → ∞

  2. BOption (b)

    𝑥(0) decreases as 𝑊0 increases.

  3. COption (c)

    At \(\rm t=\frac{\pi}{2W_0}, x(t)=-\frac{1}{\pi}\)

  4. DOption (d)

    At \(\rm t=\frac{\pi}{2W_0}, x(t)=\frac{1}{\pi}\)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

𝑥(𝑡) tends to be an impulse as 𝑊0 → ∞

Why this answer is correct

Given:

 \(X(ω)= \begin{cases}1, & \text { for }|ω|<ω_0 \ 0, & \text { for }|ω|>ω_0\end{cases}\)

By taking inverse Fourier transform,

\( x(t)=\frac{\sin ω_0 t}{\pi t} \)

\(x\left(\frac{\pi}{2 ω_0}\right)=\frac{2 ω_0}{\pi \times \pi} \sin ω_0 \times \frac{\pi}{2 ω_0}\) \(=\frac{2 ω_0}{\pi^2} \sin \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{2 ω_0}{\pi^2}\)

So, option (C) and (D) are wrong.

\(x(0)=\underset{t \rightarrow 0}{L t} \frac{\sin ω_0 t}{\pi t}=\) \(\underset{t \rightarrow 0}{L t} \frac{ω_0 \cos ω_0 t}{\pi}=\frac{ω_0}{\pi}\)

So, x(0) ∝ ω0 Option (B) is wrong.

When ω0​ → ∞, X(ω) will be a D.C signal and inverse Fourier transform of a D.C signal will be impulse signal.

So, option (A) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Question 9

GATE EE 2023• Electrical Engineering

The 𝑍-transform of a discrete signal 𝑥[𝑛] is

\(\rm X(z)=\frac{4z}{\left(z-\frac{1}{5}\right)\left(z-\frac{2}{3}\right)(z-3)}\) with ROC = R.

Which one of the following statements is true?

  1. AOption (a)

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is |𝑧| > 3

  2. BOption (b)

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is \(\rm \frac{2}{3}<|z|<3\)

  3. COption (c)

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is such that x[n] is a left-sided sequence

  4. DOption (d)

    Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is such that x[n] is a right-sided sequence

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Discrete-time Fourier transform of x[n] converges if R is \(\rm \frac{2}{3}<|z|<3\)

Why this answer is correct

Given:

 \(X(z)=\frac{4 z}{\left(z-\frac{1}{5}\right)\left(z-\frac{2}{3}\right)(z-3)}\)

Poles of X(z) are located at z = \(\frac{1}{5}\), z = \(\frac{2}{3}\) and z = 3.

For DTFT to converge, the ROC of Z-transform of x() should contain unit circle.

If x(n) is a right sided sequence then the ROC is |z|>3 which does not include unit circle. So, option (D) and (A) are wrong.

If R.O.C. is \(\frac{2}{3}\) < |z| < 3, the R.O.C. includes unit circle. So, option (B) is correct.

If x(n) is a left sided then R.O.C will be |z| < \(\frac{1}{5}\) which does not include unit circle. So, option (C) is wrong.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

Question 10

  4. DOption (d)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

R3 and R4 are directional overcurrent relays blocking faults towards bus 2

Why this answer is correct

Hence, R3 and R4 are directional over current relays, which only operates when fault occurs in line-1 and line-2 respectively. But blocking faults towards bus-2.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
