SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Quadrature axis synchronous reactance: Xq=Vmin/Imax
Direct axis synchronous reactance: Xd=Vmax/Imin
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Quadrature axis synchronous reactance: Xq=Vmin/Imax
Direct axis synchronous reactance: Xd=Vmax/Imin
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Over excited synchronous machine behaves as capacitor and provide reactive power.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. The frequency of emf induced in the rotor: fr=sf=0.05×50=2.5 Hz
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Slip(s)=(Ns-Nr)/Ns
So, when the rotor starts gaining speed, due to increase of rotor speed, slip of an induction
motor decreases.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Current chopping usually occurs in Air blast circuit breaker.
Current Chopping in circuit breaker is defined as a phenomenon in which current is forcibly interrupted before the natural current zero.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. In case of series Resonance Z = R
and I = V/Z=V/R = 10/10
= 1 A
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. In an RLC series resonant circuit,
Z = minimum and denoted by Z_min=R
i.e., In Case of series Resonance.
(i) X_L=X_C
(ii) Z = minimum & Z = R
(iii) Pf = unity (i.e., Resistive circuit)
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Resistance α 1/Conductance
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. for series connection I is same.
P α 1/R
So, lower power rating will glow more.
