Solution
S1.(D)
Sol. Multiplying power of shunt, n=(G+S)/S=G/S+1=1.8/0.2+1=10
Therefore, the range of ammeter increases 10 times. When the ammeter indicates 2 A, the circuit current = 2 ×10 = 20 A.
S2.(A)
Sol. The overall efficiency of a steam power station is less than its thermal efficiency. This is expected since some losses (about 1%) occur in the alternator.
S3.(C)
S4.(C)
Sol. Line current,
Since line losses are proportional to the square of , it follows that line losses are proportional to 1/cos² ϕ
S5. (b) Superposition theorem is used in the linear circuits having more than one independent voltage or current sources.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. One coulomb has 0.625 × 1019 electron
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol.
A current is said to be alternating when it changes in both magnitude and direction
S8. (c)
Electric field due to ceramic dielectric = k ; V = Applied voltage
∴ E ∝ k If = constant K = Dielectric constant
For air K = 1
∴ ⇒
= Dielectric constant for ceramic
S9. (d)
Leakage resistance
S10. (d)
Initial resistance of circuit = = 5 Ω
Rated current = 6A
Now,
Here, I > ⇒ Fuse opens
