Solution
S1. (a)
∑▒〖V=W〗 = Total energy
S2. (b)
Current flowing through the circuit is more than the rated current of 25 W, 110 V bulb.
S3. (a)
Full-scale voltage across meter = IR=10 mA×50 Ω=0.5 V. When circuit current is 100 mA, current through shunt = 100 – 10 = 90 mA.
∴ S=(0.5 V)/(90 mA)=5.56 Ω
S4. (d)
S5. (d)
Fig. below shows the conditions of the problem. The current source provides 16 mA to two parallel connected resistors. Therefore, current in 2.5 kΩ load is
I_2=16×10/(10+2.5)=16×10/12.5=12.8 mA
S6. (c)
P=V^2/R or V=√(PR.) Since voltage is same in a parallel circuit, P_1 R_1=P_2 R_2 or 9×8 = P_2×12
∴P_2=6 W
S7. (c)
Explanation: Either electric field or magnetic field can be used, however most commonly we use magnetic field because of its greater energy storage capacity.
S8. (a)
Explanation: In reluctance motor, direct axis is horizontal axis and quadrature axis is at 90° to the direct axis.
S9. (d)
Explanation: Also, the variation is assumed to be a function of space angle θr.
S10.( b)
Explanation: Te(av)=-1/4 ∅_max^2 (R_lq – R_ld)(1/2 sin(-2δ)), w= synchronous speed
if wr≠w then Te(av)=0 ,and if wr = w then Te(av) ≠ 0, as the last term in the equation 1/2 sin(-2δ) does not vary with time, and hence average torque is not equal to zero.
