Microwave energies propagate the length of the waveguide by __________ its side walls.
- A.
Refraction off
- B.
Reflection off
- C.
Moving off
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Refraction offExplanation
Microwave energies propagate the length of the waveguide by refracting off its side walls. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, in this case from the waveguide to the surrounding air. As the microwaves encounter the walls of the waveguide, they are bent or deflected, allowing them to travel along the length of the waveguide. This refraction phenomenon is essential for the propagation of microwave energies within the waveguide.Rate this question:

To carry a current of 0.3 amperes, a 100 ohm resistor is needed in an electric circuit. A resistor you would select is
- A.
100 ohm, 7.5 watts
- B.
100 ohm, 10 watts
- C.
100 ohm, 1 watt
- D.
100 ohm, 5 watts
Correct Answer
B. 100 ohm, 10 wattsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The vertical distance between the axis of the beam before and after loading at a point is called as
- A.
Deformation
- B.
Deflection
- C.
Slope
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. DeflectionExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Direct load loss and stray load lossesExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Which of the following is/are used in synchronous machines to maintain mechanical stability?
- A.
Damper winding
- B.
Interpole winding
- C.
Compensating winding
- D.
Equalizer rings
Correct Answer
A. Damper windingExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Electromagnetic torque is present in rotating machines when
- A.
Both stator and rotor windings carry current
- B.
Rotor windings carry current
- C.
Stator windings carry current
- D.
Any of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. Both stator and rotor windings carry currentExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The operation of a synchronous motor operating on constant excitation across infinite bus will not be stable if power angle δ
- A.
Exceeds internal angle θ
- B.
Is less than θ
- C.
Is more than θ/2
- D.
Is less than θ/2
Correct Answer
A. Exceeds internal angle θExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- D.
Yaw drive
Correct Answer
A. CompressorExplanation
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.Rate this question:

What does Heating and cooling of the atmosphere generates?
- A.
Thermo line circulation
- B.
Radiation currents
- C.
Convection currents
- D.
Conduction currents
Correct Answer
C. Convection currentsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The centre of gravity of a quadrant of a circle lies along its central radius (r) at a distance of?
- A.
0.5r
- B.
0.6r
- C.
0.7r
- D.
0.8r
Correct Answer
B. 0.6rExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. DecreasesExplanation
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".Rate this question:

- C.
All the loads are not applied at the joints
- D.
The loads are not applied at all to the joints
Correct Answer
B. The loads are applied at the jointsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

In a roof supporting space truss, the load is transmitted as:
- A.
First to the truss then the joints through purlins
- B.
First to the purlins then the joints through trusses
- C.
First to the truss then the purlins through joints
- D.
First to the joints then the trusses through purlins
Correct Answer
A. First to the truss then the joints through purlinsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- B.
They are not extended to such a long distance
- C.
The bridges are painted
- D.
The roads are made narrow
Correct Answer
A. A rocker or a roller is used at the jointsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

As the loading in bridge different from the simple trusses the calculations involved in the bridges are all 2D calculations.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the calculations involved in bridges are not limited to 2D calculations. Bridge design and analysis require consideration of various factors such as loads, forces, and structural integrity in both 2D and 3D dimensions. Engineers use advanced software and techniques to model and analyze bridges in three dimensions, taking into account the complex behavior and interactions of different structural elements. Therefore, the calculations involved in bridge design and analysis are not solely limited to 2D.Rate this question:
