Notes:
1. If doubt exists as tothe interpretation of any question, the candidate is urged to
submit withthe answer paper, a clear statement of any assumptions made.
2. Candidates may use one of two calculators, the Casio or Sharp approved models.
This is a closed book exam,
3. Any five questions constitute a complete paper. Only the first five questions as
they appear in your answer book wil be marked.

85x10" Fm, p= 4x10" Hin‘A beam o* electrons propagating in horizontal north direction in @ vacuum carries a
Current of 10 microampers, The velocity ofthe electrons in the beam is 6x10°, the
cross-section ofthe beam is circular with 1 mm diameter and the density of the
electrons is uniform both radially and longitudinal,
What is the direction and magnitude of force exerted on an electron (e = -16x10""C) at
‘ point 0.25 mm above the axis ofthe beam?
‘An infiritely ong transmission line consists of two thin parallel, horizontal metallic
ribbons 10 mm wide separated by a 0.20 mm wit gap, The line is onented in an east-
‘west herizontal direction and carries a 2 ampere current, The current in the top ribbon
flows east, the return current floes in the bottom ribbon,
Calculate, isregarding the effects of finge feds:
(magnitude and direction of magnetic ux density vector and,
(i) magnitude of magnetic ux of a 1 om long section of te fine.
Characteristic impedance and propagation velocity ofa transmission line are 60 ohms
and 3:10" respectively, A section ofthe line driven by a sinusoidal generat
terminated in an impedance consisting ofa series connection of a resistance and
reactance. Ina standing wave produced the distance between adjacent voltage minima
is 1.0 m, When a 26 em long short-circuited section ofthe ine is connected across the
line 60 em away from the load, the standing Wave ratio reduces to one (Le. no standing
wave).
What was the original iad impedance?

neutral gap 1 micron wide. The charge density of one ofthe plates is 0.50-- and
0.505 in the other. The relative permittivity ofthe medium both neutral and
charged is 11.3.
Wat is the value of electric energy stored ina 0.1 mm x 0.1 mm section ofthe system?
‘A wo miliampere current circulates in a horizontal square loop of 10"™m side. Viewed
from above the curent circulates clockwise.

0.50x10""m above the center of the square?
