Problem 1 Capacitance Calculation Capacitor CA and CB are placed side by side (with an infinitesimal/negligible distance between them), and connected in parallel across a 12V source. A dielectric (r = 5.4), restrained so that its motion occurs slowly and only along x, is shared by the two capacitors. CA, CB and the dielectric each have a length (measured along x) of 1 cm.

However, the depth (measured into the paper) of CA is 1 cm, while that of CB and the dielectric are both 2cm. The plates of both CA and CB are separated a distance of 0.01 cm. Use 0 = 8.854 x 10-14 F/cm. Assume that x is measured in cm. Derive an expression for the equivalent capacitance of CA and CB, each in terms of x. Problem 2 Inductance Calculation An inductor is constructed by wrapping a 100-turn coil around the middle leg as shown. N=100 turns; Relative permeability of steel = 300; A = 0.0004 m2; L=10 mH.

Find the length of the air gaps (assume them to be equal).

Problem 3 An electromagnetic field transducer undergoes a four-step process as four shown in the figure ( vs x). The linear inductance is expressed as: L(x) = kx where k = 1 H/m In the figure, x1 = 0.001 m; x2 = 0.002 m; 1 = 1 mWb-turn; 2 = 2 mWbturn. For each step (i.e. steps 1 to 4) of the process AND for the overall process, determine the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) net electrical energy input net change in stored energy in the magnetic field net mechanical energy output indicate whether it is generator or motor effect (or neither)?

Is the 50-50 rule applicable here? Use the values obtained above to present your argument. re? Problem 4 Energy Functions A design engineer is proposing the magnetic field transducer shown in the figure to be used for highhigh speed rail transport. It has a stationary rail and a moveable yoke, both made of infinitely permeable material. The yoke has length L (measured into the paper) and will support a single train compartment and all its passengers. The upper and middle legs of the yoke has width w.. The yoke is free to move vertically (up or down along y), horizontally (left or right along x), and into or out of the plane of this sheet of paper (as ), ), when the train moves forward or backward). When x = 0, the vertical gaps are both equal to g0. You were asked to help analyze the nature of the force of electrical origin experienced by the yoke in electrical response to these two (2) scenarios: Scenario 1: A force is exerted along the y-axis and the yoke moves vertically, as when : axis passengers board or leave the train; and Scenario 2: A force is exerted along the x-axis and the yoke moves horizontally, as when the : xis train moves along a curve. In your analysis, you can assume that the flux flows perpendicular to the cross-section of the air gap. cross section (a) Compute for the energy and co-energy state functions of this transducer (two distinct expressions co two required). (b) From the co-energy state function, derive the expression for the horizontal force of electrical origin energy associated with changes in x. (c) From the co-energy state function, derive the expression for the energy vertical force of electrical origin associated with changes in y. (d) Analyze the expressions you obtained for the forces. Will the design function as intended for use in magnetic rail transport? Explain your answer. (e) If the yoke moved from y = 0.01 meters to y = 0.009 meters at x = 0 when the coil current is maintained at 100 A, verify the energy balance of the transducer. Use g0 = 0.01 meters, 0 = 4 x 10-7 Newtons/Ampere2, L = 0.5 meters, w = 0.1 meters, and N = 500 turns.

Problem 5 Dynamic Equations The figure shows a transducer with a cylindrical rotor. The angle is the radian angle between the stator axis (fixed with respect to the stator) and the rotor axis (fixed with respect to the rotor). The resistance of the stator winding is 100 ohms and that of the rotor is 5 ohms. The self-inductance of the stator winding is 0.12 Henry and that of the rotor is (0.02 + 0.01 cos 2) Henry. The mutual inductance between the stator and rotor windings varies with cos and has a maximum value of 0.06 Henry. For the rotor, the moment of inertia J is 0.01 kg-m2, the rotational damping coefficient C is 2 N-m-s per rad, and the coefficient of rotational stiffness is 50 N-m per rad.. Note that for rotational motion, is , analogous to x, J is analogous to mass, C is analogous to the damping coefficient D, and is analogous to stiffness K. The stator winding current is 1 ampere and the rotor winding current is 10 amperes amperes. (a) Determine the expression for the torque exerted on the rotor by the magnetic field. (b) Derive the dynamic equations that fully describe this electromechanical system. (c) Linearize the resulting equations for small variations in the stator and rotor winding currents currents.

Problem 6 DC Motor Torque and Power One application of DC motors is an elevator door motor. During a brake test for an elevator door motor, the input voltage and current were read 220V and 34A, respectively. The motor speed was found to be 910rpm. A balance on a brake arm (with length of 0.61m) read a total brake/stopping force of 116.63 0.61m) newtons. The weight of the brake arm alone (no force exerted) is 10.68 newtons. Find the output power of the motor in the brake test (in HP).

Determine: (a) the voltage regulation of the generator; (b) the output voltage for an output power of 2.2kW;

Problem 8 Motor Efficiency A separately excited DC motor is rated 10HP at 230V with a speed of 1800rpm. The field resistance is 300 C ohms. The stray load loss and frictional losses at rated operation were found to be [150+0.2(RA)2] Watts and 105 Watts, respectively. Determine the armature resistance if the machine has an efficiency of 88%.
