SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. laws of illumination:
Illumination is directly proportional to the luminous intensity of the source.
Inverse square law – The illumination of a surface receiving its flux from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the surface and the source.
i.e. E=I/d^2
where, E=illumination
I= intensity
d =distance
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. laws of illumination:
Illumination is directly proportional to the luminous intensity of the source.
Inverse square law – The illumination of a surface receiving its flux from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the surface and the source.
Lambert’s cosine law – The illumination of a surface at any point is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal at the point and the direction of the luminous flux.
i.e. E ⍺1/(d^2 )⍺1/d^2 cosӨ
Illumination(E)=I/d^2 cosӨ
where, E=illumination
I= intensity
d =distance
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. In direct lighting method of lighting, an opaque reflector directs 90 % of the light vertically downwards. Only 10 % of light will be absorbed in this system by the reflector. It is uses in houses, industries and general outdoor lighting.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. indirect lighting method of lighting, 90 % of the light is reflected upwards and only 10 % falls on the surface. They are used for mainly decoration purposes in cinemas, hotels, club etc.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Luminous efficiency is the ratio of the total luminous flux radiated by any source to the total radiant flux from the source commonly expressed in lumens per watt.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Luminous flux is the measure of brightness of a light source in terms of energy being emitted. Luminous flux, in SI units, is measured in the lumen (lm). It is a measurement of energy released in the form of visible light from a light-producing source.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. In dielectric heating current flows through dielectric materials. The dielectric acts as capacitance.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Dielectric loss(P)=2πfCV^2 cosӨ
For loss free capacitor, Ө=90⁰⇒P=0
Hence, heat produced will be zero.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. (plant capacity factor=(peak load)/(plant capacity)×load factor)
=(Average demand)/(Plant capacity)
NOTE: If peak load equals to plant capacity then load factor = capacity factor.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Demand factor = (Maximum demand)/(connected load)
Demand factor is less than 1.
