SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. The capacitor used in single-phase capacitor motors have no polarity marking.
The capacitor used is electrolytic and in series with an auxiliary winding for starting.
An electrolytic capacitor has no polarity marking.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. For 3-phase induction motor: efficiency=(1-s)=N/N_s
Where, s=slip
N= rotor speed
And N_s=synchronous speed
ACQ: N_s=(120 f)/P=(120×50)/4=1500 rpm
∴ efficiency=(1-s)=N_r/N_s =1350/1500×100=90 %
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Due to diffusion across the PN junction during its formation, the charge carries (free electrons and holes) are absent in the depletion region.
Depletion region of a p-n junction is formed due to the shortage of holes and electrons.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. A PN junction conducts current only when forward biased while no current conduction takes place when reversed biased. Therefore, a PN junction behaves as UNIDIRECTIONAL switch.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. A Hysteresis Motor is a synchronous motor with a uniform air gap and without DC excitation.
The rotor of the motor is made up of smooth chrome steel cylinder and it has no winding.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. The torque-slip characteristics of a polyphase induction motor becomes almost linear at small value of slip, i.e., X_2/R_2 ≪1.
