### GATE EE 2014 Set 2

Numerical
A step-up chopper is used to feed a load at $$400$$ $$V$$ $$dc$$ from a $$250$$ $$V$$ $$dc$$ source. The inductor current is continuous. If the ‘off’ time of the switch is $$20\,\,\mu s,$$ the switching frequency of the chopper in $$kHz$$ is ________.

Correct answer is between 31 and 31.5
