SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Differentially compound d.c. motors are used for low starting torque requirements
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. The two instruments you will use most often to check continuity, or to measure the resistance of a circuit or circuit component, are the OHMMETER and the MEGGER (MEGOHMMETER). The ohmmeter is widely used to measure resistance and to check the continuity of electrical circuits and devices. Its range usually extends to only a few megohms. The megger is widely used for measuring insulation resistance, such as that between a wire and the outer surface of its insulation, and the insulation resistance of cables and insulators. The range of a megger can be extended to more than 1,000 megohms.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. The primary purpose of a light coating is to increase arc stability, provide a protective
gaseous atmosphere to prevent oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen picks up by the molten
metal and Protective slag over hot metal etc.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. The amount of light that is cast on a surface is called illuminance, which is measured
in lux. This can be thought of as light intensity within a specific area.
LUX is an abbreviation for Lumens per square meter.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. R/2 → In star connection
∴R_Δ=3*(R/2) → In delta connection
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Vt=230V , IL=323 A
Ra=0.02Ω Rsh=115Ω
Ea=V-Ia Ra
Ia=IL-Ish=323-230/115
=321 A
∴Ea=230-321×0.02
=230-6.42
=223.58≃224 V
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Shunt generator are used because they provide constant terminal voltage.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. The Hay’s bridge is used for determining the self-inductance of the circuit. The bridge is the advanced form of Maxwell’s bridge. The Maxwell’s bridge is only appropriate for measuring the medium quality factor. Hence, for measuring the high-quality factor the Hays bridge is used in the circuit.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. DC motors are used for traction as, according to the characteristics of DC motors
speed is inversely proportional to torque and square of armature current as well, if linear
magnetization is concerned. Thus, DC motors are perfectly suitable for traction.
It has high starting torque which is important in traction system. It requires less power
for high torque production because torque production is directly proportional to the
square of the armature current.
S10. Ans.(b)
V.R.% = (No load voltage-Full load voltage )/(Full load voltage)×100
=(210-200)/200×100=5%
