An amplitude modulation (AM) scheme uses tone modulation, with modulation index of 0.6. The power efficiency of the AM scheme is _______ % (rounded off to one decimal place)

Correct Answer

15.1-15.3

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given:

μ= 0.6

μ²= (0.6)²

Power efficiency = η = μ²/(μ² + 2)

⇒ Power efficiency = η = 0.1525

⇒ Power efficiency = η = 15.2 %

The primary coil of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is supplied with AC voltage as shown in the figure. The secondary coils are connected in series opposition and the output is measured using a true RMS voltmeter. The displacement x of the core is indicated in mm on a linear scale. At the null position x = 0 , the voltmeter reads 0 V. If the voltmeter reads 0.2 V for a displacement of x = +2 mm, then for a displacement of x =-3 mm, the voltmeter reading, in V, is ![image](https://cdn.prepp.in/uploads/production/images/content/2025_11_17/image_7cdc73f01763403640224.png)
