How this answer will be evaluated

Approach

Begin with a brief introduction acknowledging the diverse instrumentation, control systems, and digital electronics topics covered. For part (a), explain ratio and phase angle errors with phasor diagrams and reduction methods; for (b), complete the Routh table systematically and apply stability criteria to count left-half plane roots; for (c), derive the piezo-electric transducer response equation and solve for the time constant condition; for (d)(i)-(ii), construct Shannon-Fano and Huffman codes stepwise, computing efficiencies and comparing optimality; for (e), enumerate 8085 instruction classes with clear examples. Allocate approximately 15% time to (a), 20% to (b), 20% to (c), 30% to (d), and 15% to (e), ensuring all derivations and calculations are shown explicitly.

Key points expected

  • Part (a): Define ratio error (KnIs - Ip)/Ip × 100% and phase angle error (δ) with phasor diagram showing excitation current I0, secondary current Is, and primary current Ip; mention reduction by using high permeability core, stranded conductors, and minimizing secondary burden
  • Part (b): Complete Routh table using standard recurrence formula b1 = (a1a2 - a0a3)/a1 etc.; determine sign changes in first column to identify right-half plane roots; deduce left-half plane roots count from polynomial degree minus RHP roots
  • Part (c): Derive piezo-electric transducer as second-order system with transfer function; apply rectangular pulse input of duration T; solve for undershoot condition at t=T+ and set ≤5% to obtain τ ≈ 20T
  • Part (d)(i): Construct Shannon-Fano code by recursive probability bisection (0.4|0.19,0.16,0.15,0.1 then subdivide); calculate average code length L and entropy H; efficiency η = H/L × 100%
  • Part (d)(ii): Construct Huffman code by iterative minimum probability combination; compare code lengths, efficiency, and note Huffman achieves optimal prefix code while Shannon-Fano may be suboptimal
  • Part (e): List 8085 functional classes: Data transfer, Arithmetic, Logical, Branch, Stack I/O & Machine control; provide one specific example each (e.g., MOV A,B, ADD B, ANA B, JMP addr, PUSH B, HLT)
  • Cross-cutting: Demonstrate awareness of practical CT applications in Indian power grid metering, 8085 relevance in legacy industrial controllers, and source coding in modern communication systems
