SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Base load: the unvarying load which occurs almost the whole day on the station is known as base load.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. One-unit electrical energy=1 KWh=860 kcal=3.6×10^6 joule.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Power dissipated,
P=V^2/R=V^2×1/R=V^2 G
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Current, i=dq/dt=d/dt (q)=d/dt (6t^2-12t)=(12t-12) mA
At t = 3s, i = 12 × 3 – 12 = 36 – 12 = 24 mA
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Total conductance, G_T = G₁ + G₂ + G₃ = 0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 1 S
∴ Current in G₁ = 4×G1/GT =4×0.5/1=2 A
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Since the bridge is balanced, there is no current in the branch containing galvanometer.
Therefore, whether the branch containing galvanometer is shorted or open-circuited, there will be no change in currents or voltages anywhere in the circuit.
