SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. R_mechanical=r_2/s(1-s)
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. T_max=(kE_2^2)/(2X_2 )
So, maximum torque does not depend on r_2.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. For synchronous motor, N_s=N_r
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Deep bars rotors are used in induction motors to increase the starting torque, deep bar rotor provide more rotor resistance at the running condition and low rotor resistance at the running condition.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Total reactive power=√3 (W_1-W2)=√3 (100-100)=0 Var
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Applying current division rule –
I_1=2/(2+4)×6
=2A
I_2=4/(2+4)×6
=4 A
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. G_eff=(G_1×G_2)/(G_1+G_2 )=(2×4)/(2+4)=8/6
Req = 1/G_eff =6/8=3/4 Ω.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. The cable operates stably from the point of view of dielectric strength if:
R/r>e or 2.718
∴r/R<1/e or 0.368
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. To reduce eddy current loss laminated cores are used.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Copper loss at fractional load=x² full load copper loss
⇒4900=(7/8)^2×P_(F.L.)
⇒P_(F.L).=6400 W
