SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. As we know, N_s=120f/P
The hydraulic turbine in hydroelectric plant operates at low speed. Therefore, to achieve the required power frequency, number of poles are need to be increased which is efficiently possible in salient pole rotor.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. The ammeter is a sensitive device which is easily affected by the surrounding temperature. The variation in temperature causes the error in the reading. This can reduce by swamping resistance. The resistance having zero temperature coefficient is known as the swamping resistance. It connects in series with the ammeter.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. integrating instrument are those instruments which measures the electrical quantity over a period.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Superposition theorem is used in the linear circuits having more than one
independent voltage or current sources.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. The iron loss at full load is 1000 Watts and maximum efficiency is obtained at full
load.
For maximum efficiency: copper loss=iron or core loss=1000 watts
∴ Full load copper loss = I_fl^2.R=1000 Watts
∴ Half load copper loss = (I_fl/2)^2×R =1000/4=250 Watts
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. The inductance of a coil is given by:
L=(N^2 μ_0 A)/l (For air core)
∴L∝N²
Or, L1/L2 =(N_1^2)/(N_2^2 )
∴ N1/N2 =√(L1/L2 )=√(0.8/0.8)=1
