Question:

A carrier wave of peak voltage 14 V is used to transmit a message. What should be the peak voltage of the modulating signal in order to have a modulation index of 70%?

Options:

20.0 V

2.0 V

9.8 V

4.2 V

Correct Answer:

9.8 V

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 9.8 V

The modulation index (m),

$m=\frac{V_m}{V_c}$

M = 70% = 0.7

$⇒V_m=m.V_c$

$=0.7×14=9.8V$
