SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Heat produced per sec = Heat lost per sec (convection, conduction, radiation)
⇒ I²R = K × d × l
⇒ I²(ρl/A) = K × d × l
⇒ I²(ρl/(π(d/2)^2 )) = K × d × l
⇒ (I^2/d^2 ) × constant = K × d × l
⇒ ▭(I^2∝d^3 ) also called fuse law.
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. ω=4π×f/p rad/sec ⇒ P=(4π×60)/183=4.11
Therefore, the motor must have 4 poles.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. If the belt is accidentally broken, the motor will run on on-load. The flux drops to practically zero and the motor speed may become dangerously high. For this reason, a d.c. series motor is used only where load is directly connected to the shaft or geared to the shaft.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Power transferred inductively
= (1-0.8) × 10 = 2KW
In auto-transformer, as winding is common in both circuits, most of the energy is transferred by means of electrical conduction and a small part is transferred through induction.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. In induction type meter,T_a=KI_se I_sh sinϕ
Where,I_se= series coil current
I_sh= shunt coil current
If ?=90⁰, then torque will be maximum.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. P=V^2/R or V=√(PR.) Since voltage is same in a parallel circuit, P_1 R_1=P_2 R_2 or 9×8 = P_2×12
∴P_2=6 W
