(a) 0⁰

SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. DC series motor: Starting torque is high.
DC shunt motor: better speed regulation or constant speed.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Power flow in line ⍺1/(reactance of the line)
Series capacitive compensation reduces the reactance of the line.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Copper shading is provided on the shunt magnet’s central limb to make the phase angle displacement between the magnetic field set up by the shunt magnet and supply voltage Approx. 90°
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. To reduce eddy current loss laminated cores are used.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Copper loss at fractional load=x² full load copper loss
⇒4900=(7/8)^2×P_(F.L.)
⇒P_(F.L).=6400 W
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. For series resonant circuit: Z=R(i.e.X_L=X_C)
So, a circuit is basically resistive in nature. Hence, the phase difference between V and I is 0⁰.
