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%?

The correct answer is

9.8 V

The modulation index (m) in amplitude modulation is given by:
m = Vm / Vc,
where Vm is the peak voltage of the modulating signal, and Vc is the peak voltage of the carrier wave.
Given m = 70% = 0.7 and Vc = 14 V, we solve for Vm:
Vm = m × Vc = 0.7 × 14 = 9.8 V.
Thus, the correct answer is (c).
