22-Mec-A5 Electrical and Electronics Engineering: May 2017

Paper format. PEO/Engineers Canada National Examination 16-Mec-A5 Electrical & Electronics Engineering, May 2017 — 3 hours, closed book, Casio or Sharp approved calculator only. Eight questions of equal value; any five constitute a complete paper. All eight are solved here, since the set is intended as a study resource.

Constants printed on the front page. $\pi = 3.14159$, $1\ \text{hp} = 746\ \text{W}$, and the permeability of free space $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ \text{H}\,\text{m}^{-1}$.
