SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given that, Z=4-j3=RL-jXc;RL=4 Ω and IL=5cos (100πt +100) A
∴P=1/2 Im^2 RL=1/2×25×4=50 W
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. input power factor depends on fundamental components.
And 
∴power factor= cos ?=cos (π/3) =0.5
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. it is a balanced wheat stone bridge.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. At higher voltage, volume of conductor is reduced. Area of conductor A ∝ 1/Vs² Where Vs = Supply voltage So that material requirement is reduced and hence cost of the material and transmission is reduced.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Thyristor circuit is high power circuit. But its triggering circuit is low power circuit.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. For any conducting sphere, the charge enclosed is zero and hence, the electric field inside it is zero. This is an application of the Gauss Law. In fact, Gaussian surface includes no charges inside it.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. I/O has 8- bit port address. So, maximum number of I/O port that can be address by INTEL 8085 is 2^8=256.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. In capacitor start induction motor, we are using two winding, the main winding and the starting winding. With starting winding, we connect a capacitor so the current flowing in the capacitor i.e. Ist leads the applied voltage by some angle, φst.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. In a single-phase induction motor, speed sensitive centrifugal switch is connected in series with starting winding.
In case of capacitor start induction motor, the centrifugal switch is provided so as to disconnect the starting winding when the motor attains a speed up to 75 to 80% of the synchronous speed.
