  1. An AM transmitter is coupled to an aerial. The input current is observed to be 5 A. With modulation the current value increases to 5.9 A. The depth of modulation is—
    1. 83.4%
    2. 88.6%
    3. 78.2%
    4. 74.3%
Correct Option: B

Given that It = 5·9 A (modulated current)
Ic = 5 A (unmodulated current)
We know that

It = Ic 1 +
μ2
2

5.9 = 5 1 +
μ2
2

μ2
=
5.9
2 − 1
25

or μ2 = 0.7848
or μ = 0.8858
or μ = 88.6%
