Q.11 A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series to a 10 V dc supply through a switch
is closed at t = 0, and the capacitor voltage is found to cross ‘0’ voltage at t = 0.4τ
(τ = time constant). The absolute value of % change required in the initial capacitor
voltage if the zero crossing has to happen at t = 0.2τ is _____.

Ans. (54.989)
If initial charge polarities on the capacitor is opposite to the supply voltage then only
the capacitor voltage crosses the zero line.
Vc(t) ⇒ Final value + (Initial value – Final value) e–t/τ R
0 = 10 + (–V0 – 10) e–0.4
t=0
10 = (V0 + 10) e–0.4
V0 = 4.918 V 10 V –+ C

Now, t = 0.2τ
0 = 10 + (−V0′ − 10)e−0.2

Q.17 A PMDC motor is connected to 5 V at t = 0. Its speed increases from 0 to 6.32 rad/
sec monotonically from t = 0 to t = 0.5s and finally settles down to 10 rad/sec. Assume
negligible armature inductance. Find the transfer function?
10 10
(a) (b)
1 + 0.5s s + 0.5s
2 2
(c) (d)
1 + 0.5s s + 0.5

Ans. (c)
6.32 is 63% of 10.
∴ t = 0.5s is nothing but time constant
Also, output is double of input.
∴ DC gain of system is 2.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Alternative Solution :
When the armature inductance is neglected the transfer function of PMDC motor
becomes,
ωm (s) km
= ...(i)
Va (s) 1 + sTm
km
⇒ ωm(s) = Va (s)·
1 + sTm
5
As input is 5 V i.e. Va(s)=
s
5 km
∴ ωm(s) = ...(ii)
s (1 + sTm )
As the final value of wm = 10 rad/sec
Using final value theorem,
5 km
lim s ωm (s) = slim s = 10
x →0 →0 s(1 + sTm )
⇒ km = 2
10 a a1
From (ii) equation, ωm(s) = = 0+

ωm (t) = 10 – 10–t /Tm


It is given that at t = 0.5 sec,
ωm = 6.32 rad/sec
∴ 6.32 = 10 – 10e–0.5/Tm
