Question

State advantages and disadvantages of amplitude modulation.

✓

Answer

Advantages:

It is simple to implement.
It has large range.
It is cheaper.

Disadvantages:

It is not very efficient as far as power usage is concerned.
It is prone to noise.
The reproduced signal may not exactly match the original signal.

In spite of this, these are used for commercial broadcasting in the long, medium and short wave bands.

If $n$ identical cells, each of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r,$ are connected in parallel, derive an expression for the current supplied by this combination to external resistance $R.$ Prove that the combination supplies current almost $n$ times the current supplied by a single cell, when the external resistance $R$ is much smaller than the internal resistance of the parallel combination of the cells.

A book with many printing errors contains four different formulae for the displacement $y$ of a particle undergoing a certain periodic function:
$i) \ y = a \sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}$
$ii) \ y=a \sin v t$
$iii) \ y=\frac{a}{T} \sin \frac{t}{a}$
$iv) \ y =\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\left[\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}+\cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right]$
Here, $a$ is maximum displacement of particle, $y$ is speed of particle, $T$ is time period of motion. Rule out the wrong formulae on dimensional grounds.

QUESTION A glass flask has volume $1 \times 10^{-4} m^3$. It is filled with a liquid at $30^{\circ} C$. If the temperature of the system is raised to $100{ }^{\circ} C$, how much of the liquid will overflow. (Coefficient of volume expansion of glass is $1.2 \times 10^{-5}\left({ }^{\circ} C \right)^{-1}$ while that of the liquid is $75 \times 10^{-5}{ }^{\circ} C ^{-1}$ )
