SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Magnetic susceptibility(X)=M/H=µ_r-1
Where, µ_r=relative permeability
∴µ_r=1+X=1+M/H
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Here, i=2/1=2 A
On applying KCL at node a: I=i-1=2-1=1 A
i.e. the current delivered by the voltage source=1 A
∴power delivered by the voltage source=2×1=2 W
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given that, Z(s)=10s/(s^2+s+400)
∴Y(s)=1/Z(s) =(s^2+s+400)/10s=s/10+1/10+40/s=sC+1/R+1/SL
On comparing: C=1/10 F,R=10 Ω and L=1/40 H
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. In a 1-phase induction motor, due to both forward and backward torque slips, the operating region lies between 0 and 2. In motoring mode slip is 0 to 1 and breaking mode 1 to 2.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. The low torque/weight ratio signifies heavy weight of the moving system due to which the instrument incurs frictional losses hence the sensitivity will be low.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Number of buses, N=100
Sparsity, s=0.8
Then, the number of transmission lines is given as: N_T=(N^2 (1-s)-N)/2=(100^2 (1-0.8)-100)/2
⇒N_T=(100×19)/2=950
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. → Resonant Peak (M_r) = 1/(2ξ √(1-ξ²))
Peak overshoot = e (-ξπ)/√(1-ξ²)
Resonant frequency (wr) = Wn √(1-2ξ²)
For ξ = 0
wr = Wn.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. V₁I₁ = V₂I₂
⇒ I₁ = (V₂I₂)/(V₁)
=(120×10)/480=2.5 A
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Current required to set up magnetic flux in a magnetic material is rather low. Hence no-load primary current is a very small fraction of the rated full load current
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Because if CT secondary is not shorted then it can develop a very high voltage across secondary which may damage transformer insulation.
