SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Synchronous speed(N_s )=120f/P=(120×50)/10=600 rpm
∴ω=(2πN_s)/60=(2π×600)/60=20π rad/s
power=Tω=50/π×20π=1000 W

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Decreasing order of starting torque:
Capacitor start capacitor run > capacitor start > split phase

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Electrostatic type has very low power consumption while induction type has very high-power consumption.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Turn ratio=N_1/N_2 =V_1/V_2
Transformation ratio=N_2/N_1 =V_2/V_1 =110/550=0.2

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Diffusion capacitance is directly function of applied voltage or current. when forward bias voltage is applied across PN diode, a large number of charges is accumulated near the depletion layer, as a result, large diffusion capacitance occurs,

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. The purpose of guard ring in transmission lines is to:
Reduce the earth capacitance of the lowest unit
Equal voltage distribution across each disc

S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. RLC series resonance circuit:
X_L=X_C and Z=R
As impedance is lower, the current will be maximum.

S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. Resistance welding is the process of joining metal parts with the application of pressure.
The metal surface should be properly cleaned so that they are free from rust, dust, oil and grease.

S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Dielectric heating

S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. There are minimum four earth pits will be required for any transformer.
2 for its neutral earthing and 2 connections for its body earthing.
