AI Thread Summary
The current input of the system is 250mA, and with a current ratio of 15dB, the output current is calculated to be approximately 1.406A. The conversion from decibels to nepers is performed using the formula where 1 Np is equivalent to 8.686 dB, resulting in a current ratio of about 1.727Np. The calculations for both the output current and the neper value are confirmed to be correct. This discussion highlights the relationship between current ratios in different units and the application of logarithmic conversions.

Homework Statement


The current input of a system is 250mA. If the current ratio of the system is 15dB , determine (i) the current output and (ii) the current ratio expressed in nepers

Homework Equations



\alpha[dB]=20log_{10}(I_{out}/I_{in})

The Attempt at a Solution



current ratio \alpha=15dB, Iin=250mA=0.25A

I_{out}=I_{in}x10^\frac{\alpha [dB]}{20}==0.25x100.75

Iout=0.25x5.623=1.406A

1 Np ≡ 20 / ln(10) = 8.685889638 dB

\alpha[Np]=\alpha[dB]/8.686=1.727Np

Was there a question associate with this? Your calculation of the output current and Neper value look fine.
