The circuit shown in the figure has reached steady state with thyristor 'T' in OFF condition. Assume that the latching and holding currents of the thyristor are zero. The thyristor is turned ON at $$t=0$$ sec. The duration in microseconds for which the thyristor would conduct, before it turns off, is _________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).
The steady state current flowing through the inductor of a DC-DC buck boost converter is given in the figure below. If the peak-to-peak ripple in the output voltage of the converter is 1 V, then the value of the output capacitor, in $$\mu$$F, is _________. (round off to nearest integer).
