SOLUTIONS

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Electric field intensity is the force per unit charge; hence it is directly proportional to the force applied.

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Ferranti effect occurs in case of no load or light load condition of a medium and long transmission lines due to capacitance effect of the transmission line.
Shunt reactor will reduce the effect of capacitance. Therefore, Ferranti effect will be reduced.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Schering bridge is used to measure dielectric loss. It is an AC bridge circuit that is used for measuring the insulating properties of electrical cables and equipment. It has the advantage that the balance equation is independent of frequency.
• Maxwell bridge is used to measure the value of unknown inductance.
• Heaviside bridge is used to measured mutual inductance in terms of a known self-inductance.
• Kelvin bridge is used to measure the value of low resistance.

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Starting torque is directly proportional to the rotor resistance of an induction motor.

In slip ring induction motor the ends of the rotor windings are externally connected by a variable rheostat. So more the resistance, more the torque. When we add resistance to the rotor, the torque is high, the slip is high and the current is reduced. Therefore, slip ring induction motor is used for providing high starting torque.
