SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Due to smaller air-gap in an Induction motor:
Reluctance is minimum
Inductance is high
Magnetizing current is of smaller value as I_m α 1/L
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. The coil span of a full pitch coil is always 180° electrical.
Ө_e=P/2 Ө_m
∴180⁰=6/2×Ө_m
⇒Ө_m=60⁰
S3. Ans.(b)
V.R.% = (No load voltage-Full load voltage )/(Full load voltage)×100
=(210-200)/200×100=5%
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Bridges used for measurement of inductance:
Anderson bridge (Q<1). Maxwell bridge (1<Q<10).
Hay bridge Q>10
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. The amount of light that is cast on a surface is called illuminance, which is measured
in lux. This can be thought of as light intensity within a specific area.
LUX is an abbreviation for Lumens per square meter.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Voltage regulation: (VS-VR)/VR
Due to Ferranti effect: VS<VR
Hence, voltage regulation is negative in case of Ferranti effect.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. The time taken by a fuse to interrupt the circuit in the event of a fault is known as cut-off factor.
Current rating: minimum value of current at which the fuse element or fuse wire melts.
Fusing current: current at which fuse melts.
Fusing factor: ratio of minimum fusing current to current rating of fuse element
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol.
final value=lim(s⟶0)sF(s) is not applicable as system is not stable due to one pole on RHS.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Kirchhoff’s current law is based on the law of conservation of charge i.e., charge that flows in = charge that flows out.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Time constant is
τ = RC = 5 × 100 × 10^(-6)= 5 × 10^(-4) sec.
