EENG451-sample Q

The document contains 5 sample questions for a final exam on high voltage techniques. Question 1 has 4 parts that involve calculating voltages, field strengths, and ratios using a two-layer bushing system with given radii, lengths, dielectric constants, and applied voltage. Question 2 asks to determine electric field magnitudes using finite difference methods. Question 3 involves calculating constants from an ionization coefficient equation and breakdown voltage curve for a gas. Question 4 involves filling in a table with values calculated using another ionization coefficient equation for different gap distances and atmospheric conditions. Question 5 asks to use the Charge Simulation Method to determine potential and field at a point near a charged spherical conductor.
