    Electronic Fundamentals

    Exam 10

    1. A junction diode

    a) has one p-n junction


    b) is similar to a vacuum diode but cannot rectify
    c) can handle only very small currents

    2. When the rotor of an AC tachogenerator is


    stationary, the rotor has

    a) no circulating currents
    b) low circulating currents
    c) no magnetic fields

    3. The output of a tachogenerator should be

    a) sinusoidal
    b) exponential
    c) linear

    4. With a constant input to a speed control servo, the


    servo motor

    a) moves to a certain position


    b) moves at a constant speed
    c) oscillates, but otherwise does not move

    5. A closed loop servomechanism

    a) must only have position feedback


    b) must have both position and velocity feedback
    c) can have either position or velocity feedback
    6. Critical damping in a servomechanism is

    a) the point which allows just one overshoot


    before the load comes to rest
    b) the amount of damping that results in the load
    just not oscillating
    c) the critical damping required for the optimum
    damping of the servomechanism

    7. In a control synchro system the power supply is


    connected to the

    a) transmitter rotor and amplifier


    b) receiver rotor and amplifier
    c) transmitter and receiver rotors

    8. Reverse rotation of a control transformer rotor can


    be caused by

    a) connections between the transformer rotor and


    the amplifier reversed
    b) connections to the transmitter rotor reversed
    c) short circuit between two transmission lines

    9. Velocity feedback

    a) opposes the demand input


    b) assists the demand input
    c) prevents dead space errors

    10. Velocity lag can be decreased by

    a) introduction of an integrator
    b) keeping the error detector (summing point)
    output as low as possible
    c) decreasing the coulomb friction in the system
    Answers for Exam 10

    Question 1 a Read up on the diode definitions. Aircraft


    Electricity and Electronics 5th Edition
    Eismin Page 111

    Question 2 b A small amount of residual voltage exists on


    the output winding of an AC tachogenerator
    when it is stationary.

    Question 3 a The output should be the same waveform as the


    input, i.e. sinusoidal.

    Question 4 b A speed control servo moves the load (e.g. a


    radar dish) at constant speed

    Question 5 c A closed loop servomechanism can have either


    position feedback or velocity feedback or
    both

    Question 6 b Critical damping results in the fastest time


    to demand position without any overshoot

    Question 7 a See Pallett Aircraft Instrumants and


    Integrated Systems pg 141

    Question 8 a Reversing the connections to the amplifier


    will make the motor run backwards. Then the
    feedback will drive the transformer rotor in
    the wrong direction

    Question 9 a Velocity feedback is anti-phase to the demand


    input and opposes it

    Question 10 c Coulomb friction is one of the things which


    causes velocity lag
