SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Due to the constant core flux, the iron losses also remain constant.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. out of all, polarity must be correct for the connected transformers.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. both high residual flux as well as coercivity is desired for a good permanent magnet.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Kp= Resultant EMF of a chorded coil/Resultant EMF of a full pitched coil = cos(ε/2)
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. The maximum load that can be connected in a circuit containing only lighting points is 800 watts.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. The iron core in a transformer provides a low reluctance path to the main flux.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Here 12ohm and 8-ohm resistors are in series and both are parallel connected to 20ohm resistor.
∴R_eqv=20‖20=10Ω
∴I=48/10=4.8 A
And I8Ω= 4.8×20/(20+20)=2.4 A
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Some advantages of short pitch winding are:
Due to shortening span, the copper required is less.
Low copper losses
Improve waveform due to reduction in harmonic
Fractional Pitch winding reduces sparking in DC machines
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Shunt Reactor compensation at the receiving end help to reduce the effect of capacitance thus reducing the Ferranti effect.
Shunt Reactor absorbs the excess reactive power during no load or light load condition and thus helps in stabilizing the voltage of Transmission Line.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Diversity Factor = Sum of Individual Maximum Demands / Maximum Demand of the System.
Diversity factor=(1500+750+100+450)/2500=1.12
