About this previous year paper
This document contains the official AKTU B.Tech 1st Semester Question Paper for Basic of Electrical Engineering (KEE101T). It is the exact 100-mark university exam paper, designed for the Theory Examination 2020–21, and follows the complete AKTU format with Sections A, B, and C. This question paper is ideal for students preparing for end-semester exams, internal assessments, and revising key electrical engineering fundamentals.
Basic of Electrical Engineering is a core subject for all first-year engineering students across branches such as CSE, IT, ECE, ME, CE, EE, EN, and others. This paper helps students understand electrical principles, circuits, machines, AC/DC fundamentals, and numerical problem-solving.
What This Question Paper Covers (Detailed Overview)
SECTION A – 20 Marks (10×2)
This section contains 10 short, concept-based questions, checking basic understanding. Topics include:
Ohm’s Law
Kirchhoff’s laws
RMS/average value
Power factor
Series & parallel circuits
Inductor & capacitor definitions
DC machine basics
Transformer fundamentals
AC waveform terminology
Electrical power & energy concepts
These questions help students revise essential definitions and formulas.
SECTION B – 30 Marks (3×10)
Students must attempt any 3 out of 5 descriptive questions. Topics generally include:
Derivations & explanations of electrical laws
Series/parallel resistance problems
Phasor diagrams
Network theorems (Thevenin, Norton, Superposition)
Transformer working
