UPRVUNL'21 EE: Daily Practices Quiz 27-July-2021_30.1

It is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal.
The Schottky barrier diode current condition is through majority carriers, which are electrons in an N-type semiconductor.
It has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. A typical Multimeter can measure current, voltage and resistance.

S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. In case of capacitor start motor, a centrifugal switch is provided for disconnecting the auxiliary winding when the motor attains speed up-to 70-80% of synchronous speed.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Here, a=2
∴ Cu saving=1/a=1/2=0.5=50%

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Fusing factor=(minimum fusing current)/(current rating of fuse)
Fusing factor of fuse is always >1.
