GATE EC2003 question

Ans :
Number of Mesh = B - N + 1 where B = No of Branches
N = number of Nodes
Node equation = N - 1
where N = number of Nodes

here B = 7 , N = 4

so minium number of equation need to analyze the circuit is = N - 1 = 3

Qu(2):

The Laplace transform of of i(t) is given by
I(s) = 2 / s(1+s)
As t --> infinity, The value of i( t) tends to


Ans:
Inverse of I(s) ,
I(s) = 2/s -2/(1+s)
i(t) = 2 -2(e^-t) because L(1) = 1/s and L(e^-t .1) = 1/(S+1)
As t --> infinity ,
==> i(t) = 2 -2/(e^infinity)
==> i(t) = 2 - 2/infinity
== > i(t) = 2 because 2/infinity is zero

This is the answer I got. I am not sure about 2/infinity . ,,...

i don't know these answers are correct or not .. I didn't get key for GATE these question.

why derivatives ?

To find an approximation of \sqrt[3]{25} one can do as follows.

  1. Consider the function  f(x)= x^{1/3}.\, Hence, the problem is reduced to finding the value of f(25).
  2. We have
     f\ '(x)= 1/3x^{-2/3}.
  3. According to linear approximation
     f(25) \approx f(27) + f\ '(27)(25 - 27) = 3 - 2/27.
  4. The result, 2.926, lies fairly close to the actual value 2.924…
Read some interesting and basic mathematics.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_approximation

LOST TOUCH WITH MATHS

Onam days I have tried some Laplace Transform ( which is commonly used in Network realization and ELECTRICAL circuits ) from mathematics text book. Then I realized the fact that even the basic integration methods like integration by parts and other haven't there in my mind. But the basic for mule in Laplace finished in onam days itself. Parallel y hearing online video classes ..... but it is like a drop of water in the sea....... I dont know where I can reach.

I am wasting precious time

Mind become restless if we can't utilize our time effectively. Nowadays I found that that was the major reason for my restlessness. Somewhere I need to concentrate my mind and brain. I am feeling that I am not utilizing the time given to me...

I don't know how to solve this problem..... But I am not ready to fear.


( this is today's state of mind )

DREAM FIRST ... WORK FOR IT, YOU WILL GET

DREAM FIRST .. WORK FOR IT , YOU WILL GET

I believe these words.


Some of college friends motivating me for a Mtech. Really my mind is restless now.

WARNING

how fast or immediate i am starting study and How fastly and strongly i studies subjects will determine my score in GATE ......



I am feeling that Mtech in IIT( dream) is reachable ambition. But I haven't informed this to father. Most probably he will reject....(that is not a problem )
I informed to my brother....( i got half +ve approval from him).I need to work hard that was his advice.
Here(in chennai) the atmosphere is not favor to study .It is a challenge as well as thrill.
Getting a Btech admission in IIT is much harder than a MTech. Making a decision is very important because GATE is an all India exam. Even if it is simple compared to btech, students from all over india is participating in it.That much competition is there.
