Question
1. a) Compute the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor with plates 10 cm by 20 cm and separation of
5 mm if the dielectric are
(i) an air dielectric,
(ii) a ceramic dielectric with permittivity of 7500.
(2 Marks)
b) For the arrangement shown in figure 1, find
2 µF
(i) the equivalent capacitance of the circuit,
15 μF
(ii) the voltage across QR, and
R
(iii) the charge on each capacitor.

2.
For a current of r.m.s. value 5 A, and frequency 2 kHz, write down the standard expression.
Hence, calculate:
(a) the instantaneous value 150 µs after it passes through zero, and
(b) the time taken for it to reach 4 A, after passing through zero for the first time.
(5 Marks)
3.
The waveform displayed on an oscilloscope is as shown in Figure 3. The 'time/cm' switch is set to 2
ms/cm, and the 'volts/cm' switch is set to 0.5 V/cm. Determine:
(1) amplitude of waveform Q
(ii) peak to peak value of waveform P
P
(iii) frequency of waveform P
(iv) angular frequency of waveform Q and
(v) phase angle differ ence between P and
Q in Degrees.
