Question 1 [50 marks]
Solution: This question is compulsory for all students, and the difficulty of all parts
are designed in such a way that all students are able to answer it with basic revision of
the fundamental subjects. Q1a, b, c, d, e: low-level of difficulty, Q1f,g : mid-level of
difficulty.
Note: All the questions are identical as the UG paper (ECS649U). However, I have
changed the marking weight for Q1 to 50 marks wherein the UG paper is 40 marks. The
main reason for this change is that PG students must have the necessary knowledge
to answer the different parts of Q1 and get the pass mark. Since I designed the parts
Q1a, b, c, d, and e as MCQs; then the students can answer the questions accurately
with high speed. No description is needed for MCQ questions.
Q2, Q3, and Q4 are all have 25 marks compared to the UG paper where they have
30 marks each. PG students must have answer two questions out of Q2, Q3, and Q4.
Since PG students must have more extensive and deeper knowldge, I believe they
must be able to answer fully Q3 and Q4 designed with a low-to-mid level of difficulty.

To plot the output characteristic of this motor, it is necessary to find the torque
corresponding to each value of speed. At no load, the induced torque is clearly
zero. The induced torque τind for any other load can be found from the fact that
power converted in a dc motor is:
Pconv = EAIA = τind ω
