SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. from the B-H curve, the value of magnetizing field requires to reduce residual magnetism to zero is called coercivity of the material.
RETENTIVITY: The value of the intensity of magnetization of a material when the magnetizing field is reduced to zero is called retentivity.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Overall efficiency = Thermal Efficiency × Electrical efficiency
= 0.30 × 0.92 = 0.276 or 27.6%
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Due to under–commutation, the flux at trailing edges gets crowded, so there is sparking.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. The electrodynamometer type instrument is a transfer instrument. A transfer instrument is one that is calibrated with a dc source and used without any modifications for ac measurements. Such a transfer instrument has same accuracy for ac and dc measurements. The electrodynamometer-type instruments are often used in accurate ac voltmeters and ammeters, not only at the power line frequency but also in the lower audio frequency range. With some little modifications, it can be used as a wattmeter for the power measurements.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. moving coil instruments used as DC ammeter and DC voltmeter.
