Sol. 8 Gain margin is simply equal to the gain at phase cross over frequency ( wp ). Phase
cross over frequency is the frequency at which phase angle is equal to - 180c.

Phase Margin is equal to 180c plus the phase angle fg at the gain cross over
frequency ( wg ). Gain cross over frequency is the frequency at which gain is unity.

Q. No. 56 – 60 Carry One Mark Each

Lap Distance (kilometers) Average speed

(C) (4/81) [10n + 1 - 9n - 10] (D) (4/81) [10n - 9n - 10]

Current i (t) = sin t = (1 sin t) A

where R (s) " input

The first half of the circuit is a differential amplifier (negative feedback)

Hence (D) is correct option.

Hence (C) is correct option.

v (t) = 100 2 cos (100pt)

Current in time domain

i (t) = 10 2 sin (100pt + p/4)

by applying the following trigonometric identity

sin (f) = cos (f - 90c)

So, i (t) = 10 2 cos (100pt + p/4 - p/2)

= 10 2 cos (100pt - p/4)

z (t) = x (t) ) y (t)

` z (t) = e-t - e-2t
