Answers to EMFT GATE ECE Practice Questions
1. Direction of H is along the direction by using E x H = propagation direction.
2. The medium is free space, since eta = sqrt(mu/epsilon) = 120pi ohms.
3. lambda = c / (fsqrtepsilonr) f = c / (lambdasqrtepsilonr) = 3x10 / (0.03x2) = 5 GHz.
4. beta = 2pi/lambda lambda = 2pi/beta = 1 meter.
5. Reflected completely with zero penetration (skin depth = 0).
6. Skin depth increases when conductivity, frequency, or permeability decreases Answer: (d) all
decrease.
7. (c) Power flow (average Poynting vector shows power per unit area).
8. (d) All of the above (boundary conditions from Maxwell's equations).
9. (a) 90 deg with Ey leading Left-handed circular polarization.
10. E x H = z-hat, so direction is along +z.
