SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. As we know, energy stored in the inductor is E=1/2 L1 I1^2=0.5 J
For solenoid, L ⍺ N^2⇒L2=4L1 (Number of turns doubled)
And I2=I1/2
∴E^’=1/2 (4L1 ) (I1/2)^2=1/2 L1 I1^2=0.5 J
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. susceptance ⍺ 1/ reactance
Admittance ⍺ 1/ impedance
Conductance ⍺ 1/ resistance
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Here, XL>XC, so the circuit is inductive in nature and the current lags the applied voltage.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. form factor= RMS/ avg. value
Crest or peak factor= max. value/ rms value
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Loss of charge method is used to measure high values of resistance (insulation resistance).
methods for measurement of high resistance:
Megger
Loss of charge method
Direct deflection method
Megaohm bridge
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Wien’s bridge is used to measure frequency.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. In shell type of transformer primary and secondary winding placed on the same central limb.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. synchronous motors are not self-starting machines. These are made self-starting by providing damper winding in the rotor poles.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. load factor=(average load)/(maximum demand )
Load factor is always less than 1.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. maximum load for lighting points circuit= 800 watts
Maximum load for power circuit= 3000 watts
