    Which axial force is determined while analyzing a truss? 

    •  compressive force

    • Tensile force

    • Both a. and b.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a. and b.
    Explanation
    While analyzing a truss, both compressive force and tensile force are determined. This is because a truss is a structure made up of interconnected members, and these members can experience both compressive and tensile forces depending on the loading conditions. Compressive forces act to compress or shorten the members, while tensile forces act to stretch or elongate them. Therefore, both types of forces need to be considered when analyzing a truss.

    • Acts as a variable resistance

    • Emits light when forward biased

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Emits light when forward biased
    Explanation
    An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of semiconductor device that emits light when a forward voltage is applied to it. When the LED is forward biased, meaning that the positive terminal of the power source is connected to the anode (positive terminal) of the LED and the negative terminal is connected to the cathode (negative terminal) of the LED, current flows through the LED and it emits light. Therefore, the correct answer is "emits light when forward biased".

    The vertical distance between the axis of the beam before and after loading at a point is called as 

    • Deformation

    • Deflection

    • Slope

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Deflection
    Explanation
    Deflection refers to the vertical distance between the axis of the beam before and after loading at a specific point. It measures the amount of bending or displacement that occurs in the beam due to the applied load. Deformation, on the other hand, is a more general term that encompasses any change in shape or size of a material under load. Slope is not the correct answer as it refers to the change in the angle of the beam before and after loading, rather than the vertical distance. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is deflection.

     Electromagnetic torque is present in rotating machines when

    • Both stator and rotor windings carry current

    • Rotor windings carry current

    • Stator windings carry current

    • Any of the mentioned

    Correct Answer
    A. Both stator and rotor windings carry current
    Explanation
    In rotating machines, electromagnetic torque is generated when both the stator and rotor windings carry current. This is because the interaction between the magnetic fields produced by the currents in the stator and rotor windings creates a torque that causes the rotor to rotate. If only one of the windings carries current, there will not be sufficient interaction between the magnetic fields to generate torque. Therefore, in order for electromagnetic torque to be present, both the stator and rotor windings must carry current.

    When the bridges are extended over long routes or distance then _________

    • A rocker or a roller is used at the joints

    • They are not extended to such a long distance

    • The bridges are painted

    • The roads are made narrow

    Correct Answer
    A. A rocker or a roller is used at the joints
    Explanation
    When bridges are extended over long routes or distances, a rocker or a roller is used at the joints. This is because long bridges are subject to thermal expansion and contraction, as well as other factors such as wind and traffic loads, which can cause the bridge to move and shift. By using rockers or rollers at the joints, the bridge is able to accommodate these movements and prevent any damage or structural failure. The rockers or rollers allow the bridge to expand and contract freely without putting stress on the structure, ensuring its stability and longevity.

    • Rotor and stator teeth

    • Rotor and resultant magnetic field

    Correct Answer
    A. Rotor and stator poles of opposite polarity
    Explanation
    The coupling angle or load angle of a synchronous motor is defined as the space angle between the rotor and stator poles of opposite polarity. This angle represents the phase difference between the rotor and stator magnetic fields and determines the torque produced by the motor. By measuring the coupling angle, the motor's performance and synchronization with the power system can be evaluated.

    The centre of gravity of a quadrant of a circle lies along its central radius (r) at a distance of?

    • 0.5r

    • 0.6r

    • 0.7r

    • 0.8r

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.6r
    Explanation
    The center of gravity of a quadrant of a circle lies along its central radius at a distance of 0.6r. This can be explained using the concept of symmetry. A quadrant of a circle is a quarter of a circle, and it is symmetrical about its central radius. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the quadrant is evenly distributed. Since the quadrant is symmetrical, the center of gravity must lie along its central radius. The distance from the center of the circle to the center of gravity is given by 0.6r, which means it is 0.6 times the radius of the circle.

     Ward-Leonard system of system of speed control is not recommended for

    • Constant speed operation

    • Wide speed

    • Frequent-motor reversed

    • Very slow speed

    Correct Answer
    A. Constant speed operation
    Explanation
    The Ward-Leonard system of speed control is not recommended for constant speed operation because it is designed to provide adjustable speed control. This system uses a motor-generator set to control the speed of a motor by varying the voltage and frequency. It is ideal for applications that require variable speed control, such as in industrial processes or electric vehicles. However, for constant speed operation, other control methods, such as direct-on-line starting or variable frequency drives, are more suitable and efficient.

    The forces, which meet at one point and their lines of action also lie on the same plane, are known as

    • Coplaner concurrent forces

    • Coplaner non-concurrent forces

    • Non-coplaner concurrent forces

    • Non-coplaner non-concurrent forces

    Correct Answer
    A. Coplaner concurrent forces
    Explanation
    Coplaner concurrent forces refer to a situation where multiple forces act on an object, meeting at a single point, and their lines of action lie on the same plane. In other words, these forces are in the same plane and their vectors intersect at a common point. This is the correct answer because it accurately describes the scenario where forces are both coplaner (in the same plane) and concurrent (meet at a single point).

    The range of control of controller __________ due to presence of offset. 

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Remains constant

    • Cannot say

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreases
    Explanation
    The presence of offset in a control system causes the range of control of the controller to decrease. Offset refers to a deviation between the desired setpoint and the actual process variable. When there is offset, the controller needs to continuously adjust its output to try to eliminate the offset. This reduces the effective range of control, as the controller's output is limited by the presence of the offset. Therefore, the correct answer is "decreases".

    • The assumptions are not to be taken

    • The direction is in the opposite sense, and hence the direction is known to us

    • The direction will be already given to us, no need of assuming

    Correct Answer
    A. The direction is in the opposite sense, and hence the direction is known to us
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that when the assumption of the direction of the force in space trusses is made, the direction comes out to be opposite. This implies that the assumption made was incorrect and therefore the question cannot be solved further.

    Shifting of set point and adjusting its new value by the controller, when the value of disturbance increases, is called as_______. 

    • Set-shift

    • Offset

    • Stabilization

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Offset
    Explanation
    When the value of disturbance increases, the controller adjusts the set point by shifting it and setting a new value. This adjustment is known as offset. It helps to compensate for the disturbance and maintain stability in the system. The other options, set-shift and stabilization, do not accurately describe this process. Therefore, the correct answer is offset.

    To design the space trusses which of the following rules is followed?

    • All the loads are applied by the use of cables

    • The loads are applied at the joints

    • All the loads are not applied at the joints

    • The loads are not applied at all to the joints

    Correct Answer
    A. The loads are applied at the joints
    Explanation
    In designing space trusses, the loads are applied at the joints. This means that the forces and loads acting on the structure are concentrated at the connection points between the members of the truss. By applying the loads at the joints, it allows for a more efficient distribution of forces throughout the truss system, ensuring that the structure can effectively support the applied loads and maintain its stability.

    Which of the following is/are used in synchronous machines to maintain mechanical stability?

    • Damper winding

    • Interpole winding

    • Compensating winding

    • Equalizer rings

    Correct Answer
    A. Damper winding
    Explanation
    The damper winding is used in synchronous machines to maintain mechanical stability. It consists of short-circuited conductors placed in slots on the rotor. When the rotor speed changes, currents are induced in the damper winding, which creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in speed. This helps to dampen any fluctuations and maintain the stability of the machine. The other options, interpole winding, compensating winding, and equalizer rings, are not specifically used for mechanical stability but have other functions in synchronous machines.

    • 0.5 to 0.8 microns

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.2 to 0.4 microns
    Explanation
    Solar radiation refers to the energy emitted by the sun in the form of electromagnetic waves. The range of solar radiation received on earth's surface is primarily within the visible light spectrum. This spectrum ranges from approximately 0.38 to 0.78 microns, with the majority of the radiation falling within this range. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.38 to 0.78 microns.

    Hall effect sensors are used in

    • Flow meter

    • Fuel level indicator

    • Both options 1&2

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both options 1&2
    Explanation
    Hall effect sensors are used in both flow meters and fuel level indicators. These sensors utilize the Hall effect, which is the production of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the current flow. In flow meters, Hall effect sensors can measure the flow rate of a fluid by detecting changes in the magnetic field caused by the flowing fluid. In fuel level indicators, these sensors can measure the level of fuel in a tank by detecting the change in magnetic field caused by the presence of fuel. Therefore, the correct answer is both options 1 and 2.

    Mark the wrong option. Which of the following cause and effect behaviour in speed control is correct when field resistance is increased.

    • Decrease in flux

    • Decrease in flux

    • Increase in EMF

    • Decrease in speed

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase in EMF
    Explanation
    When the field resistance is increased in a speed control system, it leads to a decrease in the flux. This decrease in flux causes a decrease in the electromotive force (EMF) generated in the system. However, the given answer states that increasing the field resistance causes an increase in EMF, which is incorrect. Therefore, the wrong option is "Increase in EMF."

    • Armature voltage control

    • Field resistance control

    • Any of the methods

    • None of the mentioned

    Correct Answer
    A. Armature voltage control
    Explanation
    The best speed control for small DC motors is achieved through armature voltage control. By adjusting the voltage applied to the armature, the speed of the motor can be effectively controlled. This method allows for precise speed regulation and is commonly used in applications where accurate speed control is required. Field resistance control and other methods may also be used for speed control, but armature voltage control is considered the most effective for small DC motors.

    The operation of a synchronous motor operating on constant excitation across infinite bus will not be stable if power angle δ

    • Exceeds internal angle θ

    • Is less than θ

    • Is more than θ/2

    • Is less than θ/2

    Correct Answer
    A. Exceeds internal angle θ
    Explanation
    If the power angle δ exceeds the internal angle θ in a synchronous motor operating on constant excitation across an infinite bus, the operation will not be stable. This means that the motor will not be able to maintain a steady and synchronized rotation with the power system. The power angle represents the phase difference between the rotor and the stator fields, while the internal angle represents the angle between the rotor field and the internal voltage. If the power angle exceeds the internal angle, it indicates that the rotor field is lagging behind the internal voltage, causing instability in the motor's operation.

    What does Heating and cooling of the atmosphere generates?

    • Thermo line circulation

    • Radiation currents

    • Convection currents

    • Conduction currents

    Correct Answer
    A. Convection currents
    Explanation
    Heating and cooling of the atmosphere generates convection currents. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (in this case, air). When the atmosphere is heated, the air near the surface becomes warmer and less dense, causing it to rise. As the warm air rises, it cools and becomes denser, eventually sinking back down. This creates a continuous cycle of rising and sinking air, known as convection currents. These currents play a crucial role in the redistribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere, influencing weather patterns and climate.

    • Direct load loss

    • Stray load losses

    • Field current loss

    Correct Answer
    A. Direct load loss and stray load losses
    Explanation
    The correct answer is direct load loss and stray load losses. Short circuit load losses refer to the losses that occur in a power system when a short circuit fault occurs. Direct load loss refers to the losses that occur in the conductors and windings of the electrical equipment due to the flow of current during a short circuit. Stray load losses, on the other hand, refer to the losses that occur in the surrounding components and structures of the electrical equipment due to the magnetic fields generated during a short circuit. Therefore, both direct load loss and stray load losses contribute to the overall short circuit load losses.

    Which of these is NOT a part of a modern wind turbine?

    • Compressor

    • Gear box

    • Nacelle

    • Yaw drive

    Correct Answer
    A. Compressor
    Explanation
    A compressor is not a part of a modern wind turbine. A wind turbine works by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. It consists of several components such as the rotor blades, gearbox, nacelle, and yaw drive. The rotor blades capture the wind's energy and spin the rotor, which is connected to the gearbox. The gearbox increases the rotational speed and transfers the energy to the generator. The nacelle houses the gearbox, generator, and other control systems. The yaw drive allows the turbine to turn and face the wind. However, a compressor is not necessary in a wind turbine as it is used in devices that compress air, such as air conditioners or refrigerators.

    The power factor of pure resistive circuit is

    • Zero

    • Leading

    • Lagging

    • Unity

    Correct Answer
    A. Unity
    Explanation
    The power factor of a pure resistive circuit is unity because in a pure resistive circuit, the voltage and current are in phase with each other. This means that the power factor, which is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current, is equal to 1. In other words, the power is used efficiently in a pure resistive circuit with no reactive components.

     Large stiffness coefficient represents

    • Motor speed remains practically constant

    • Large fluctuations due to mechanical load

    • Motor speed is variable to changes

    • No such significance with speed

    Correct Answer
    A. Motor speed remains practically constant
    Explanation
    A large stiffness coefficient represents that the motor speed remains practically constant. This means that the motor is able to maintain a consistent speed even when subjected to varying mechanical loads. The stiffness coefficient is a measure of how well the motor can resist changes in speed, and a large value indicates a high level of stability in maintaining a constant speed.

    In a roof supporting space truss, the load is transmitted as:

    • First to the truss then the joints through purlins

    • First to the purlins then the joints through trusses

    • First to the truss then the purlins through joints

    • First to the joints then the trusses through purlins

    Correct Answer
    A. First to the truss then the joints through purlins
    Explanation
    In a roof supporting space truss, the load is transmitted first to the truss and then to the joints through purlins. This means that the load is initially borne by the truss members, which distribute the load to the joints. The purlins, which are horizontal beams supported by the truss, then transfer the load from the joints to the rest of the structure. This sequence of load transmission ensures that the load is efficiently distributed and supported throughout the roof truss system.

     Which of these is not an information based system?

    • MIS

    • DSS

    • SIS

    • SDS

    Correct Answer
    A. SDS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is SDS because SDS stands for Software Development System, which is not an information-based system. MIS (Management Information System), DSS (Decision Support System), and SIS (Strategic Information System) are all examples of information-based systems that are used to collect, analyze, and present information to support decision-making processes in organizations. However, SDS is a term used to refer to a system or set of tools used for software development, which is not directly related to information management or decision support.

    3 - point starter is used to start the

    • Series motor

    • Shunt motor

    • Compound motor

    • Option  2 & 3

    Correct Answer
    A. Option  2 & 3
    Explanation
    A 3-point starter is used to start both series and compound motors because these types of motors have high starting torque requirements. The 3-point starter provides a way to control the flow of current to the motor during the starting process, allowing for a gradual increase in current to prevent damage to the motor and ensure a smooth start. Shunt motors, on the other hand, do not have high starting torque requirements and can be started directly without the need for a 3-point starter. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 and 3.

    To carry a current of 0.3 amperes, a 100 ohm resistor is needed in an electric circuit. A resistor you would select is

    • 100 ohm, 7.5 watts

    • 100 ohm, 10 watts

    • 100 ohm, 1 watt

    • 100 ohm, 5 watts

    Correct Answer
    A. 100 ohm, 10 watts
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 100 ohm, 10 watts because the power (in watts) can be calculated using the formula P = I^2 * R, where P is power, I is current, and R is resistance. In this case, the current is 0.3 amperes and the resistance is 100 ohms. Plugging these values into the formula, we get P = (0.3)^2 * 100 = 0.09 * 100 = 9 watts. Since the power required is 9 watts, the closest option is 100 ohm, 10 watts.
