A phase controlled single phase rectifier, supplied by an AC source, feeds power to an
R-L-E load as shown in the figure. The rectifier output voltage has an average value given
by $${V_0} = {{{V_m}} \over {2\pi }}\left( {3 + \cos \alpha } \right)$$, where $${V_m} = 80\pi $$ volts and $$\alpha $$ is the firing angle. If the power
delivered to the lossless battery is 1600 W, $$\alpha $$ in degree is________ (up to 2 decimal
places).

The figure shows two buck converters connected in parallel. The common input dc voltage
for the converters has a value of 100 V. The converters have inductors of identical value.
The load resistance is 1 $$\Omega $$. The capacitor voltage has negligible ripple. Both converters
operate in the continuous conduction mode. The switching frequency is 1 kHz, and the
switch control signals are as shown. The circuit operates in the steady state. Assuming that
the converters share the load equally, the average value of $${i_{S1}}$$, the current of switch S1 (in
Ampere), is _____ (up to 2 decimal places).
