     The property of a coil by which  a  counter emf is induced  in it,when the current  through the coil changes, is known as

    • Self - inductance

    • Mutual Inductance

    • Series aiding inductance

    Correct Answer
    A. Self - inductance
    Explanation
    Self-inductance is the property of a coil by which a counter emf is induced in it when the current through the coil changes. This means that when the current in the coil increases or decreases, a magnetic field is produced around the coil, which induces an opposing voltage in the coil itself, known as self-inductance. This phenomenon is used in various electrical devices, such as transformers and inductors, to control the flow of current and store energy in the magnetic field. Mutual inductance, on the other hand, refers to the interaction between two separate coils. Series aiding inductance is not a recognized term in the context of this question.

    Correct Answer
    A. The voltage induced in any one winding have the same amplitude
    Explanation
    In a single-phase alternator, each rotor pole is in the same position relative to a stator winding as any other rotor pole. This means that all stator polar groups are cut by an equal number of magnetic lines of force at any given time. As a result, the voltage induced in any one winding will have the same amplitude. Therefore, the correct answer is that the voltage induced in any one winding has the same amplitude.

    • Effective

    • Average   

    Correct Answer
    A. Effective
    Explanation
    In an AC circuit, unless otherwise specified, any value given for current or voltage is assumed to be the effective value. The effective value is also known as the root mean square (RMS) value and represents the equivalent DC value that would produce the same amount of power in a resistive circuit. It takes into account the varying amplitude of the AC waveform over time and provides a standardized measure for comparing AC and DC circuits. Therefore, when no specific information is provided, the effective value is assumed.

    High  voltage alternator is usually of the stationary armature rotating field type because:

    • It has commutator and brush

    • Slip ring have sort life

    • The slip ring have a hazard arc over

    • both b and c

    Correct Answer
    A. both b and c
    Explanation
    The high voltage alternator is usually of the stationary armature rotating field type because both the slip rings and brushes have a short life and also pose a hazard of arc over. This means that the slip rings and brushes need to be replaced frequently, which can be costly and time-consuming. Additionally, the hazard of arc over can cause damage to the alternator and pose a safety risk. Therefore, it is more practical and efficient to use a stationary armature rotating field type alternator for high voltage applications.

    In delta connection

    • Phase voltage =line voltage

    • 31/2 phase voltage = line voltage

    • Phase voltage =3 ½   line voltage

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Phase voltage =line voltage
    Explanation
    In a delta connection, the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage. This means that the voltage measured between any two phases is the same as the voltage measured between any phase and the neutral point. This is because in a delta connection, the phases are connected in a triangular shape, and the line voltage is the voltage across any two phases. Therefore, the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage in a delta connection.

    In a  wye connection, the total voltage or line voltage across any two phase is a vector sum of the individual phase voltages. For balance conditions the line voltage is _______ times the phase voltage.

    • 1.414     

    • 1.73         

    • 0.707

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.73         
    Explanation
    In a wye connection, the total voltage or line voltage across any two phases is 1.73 times the phase voltage. This is because in a balanced condition, the line voltage is equal to the square root of 3 times the phase voltage. The square root of 3 is approximately 1.73, so the line voltage is 1.73 times the phase voltage.

    A transformer

    • Changes electrical energy into mechanical energy

    • changes electrical energy of a given voltage into electrical  energy  at a  different  voltage   level

    • Changes  mechanical  energy  into electrical  energy

    Correct Answer
    A. changes electrical energy of a given voltage into electrical  energy  at a  different  voltage   level
    Explanation
    A transformer is a device that is used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. It consists of two coils, known as the primary and secondary coils, that are wound around a common iron core. When an alternating current is passed through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic field which induces a voltage in the secondary coil. This voltage can be either higher or lower than the input voltage, depending on the number of turns in each coil. Therefore, a transformer changes electrical energy of a given voltage into electrical energy at a different voltage level.

  • 15. 

    No transformer can be constructed 100% efficient because

    • Eddy current loss

    • Hysteresis

    • Leakage flux      

    • All

    Correct Answer
    A. All
    Explanation
    All of the given options contribute to the inefficiency of transformers. Eddy current loss occurs due to the circulating currents induced in the core material, leading to energy dissipation. Hysteresis loss is caused by the reversal of magnetization in the core, resulting in energy loss. Leakage flux refers to the magnetic flux that does not link with both primary and secondary windings, causing energy loss. Therefore, all these factors combined make it impossible to achieve 100% efficiency in transformer construction.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Coefficient of coupling
    Explanation
    The coefficient of coupling refers to the measure of how well the flux of the primary is coupled with the secondary in an electrical system. It indicates the extent to which the magnetic field produced by the primary coil is linked with the secondary coil. A higher coefficient of coupling indicates a stronger coupling between the two coils, resulting in a more efficient transfer of energy between them. Therefore, the coefficient of coupling is the correct answer in this case.

    Rate this question:

    The primary of a transformer develops 50,000 lines of force and only 45,000 lines cut acrose secondary ,the coefficient of coupling would be

    • 50%   

    • 0.5  

    • 0.9 

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.9 
    Explanation
    The coefficient of coupling in a transformer is a measure of the magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary windings. It is calculated by dividing the number of lines of force that cut across the secondary winding (45,000) by the number of lines of force developed by the primary winding (50,000). In this case, the coefficient of coupling is 0.9, indicating a strong magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary windings.

    Correct Answer
    A. Self excited
    Explanation
    A direct connected direct current generator is also called a self-excited alternator because it does not require an external source of power to excite the field windings. Instead, it uses the residual magnetism in the field poles to generate the initial excitation current. This self-excitation process allows the generator to produce a direct current without the need for separate excitation equipment.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    An auto transformer is a type of transformer that has only one winding, which acts as both the primary and secondary winding. This design allows for a reduction in the number of turns and the amount of copper used, resulting in a lower cost compared to traditional two-winding transformers. Additionally, the single winding design also improves the regulation of the transformer and reduces losses, making it more efficient than ordinary two-winding transformers of the same rating. Therefore, all of the given statements are correct.

    Iron loss are also called as

    • Copper loss   

    • Ohmic  loss  

    • Core loss    

    • All                       

    Correct Answer
    A. Core loss    
    Explanation
    Iron loss refers to the power loss that occurs in the core of an electrical machine, such as a transformer or an electric motor. This loss is caused by hysteresis and eddy currents in the core material, which result in energy dissipation in the form of heat. Copper loss, on the other hand, refers to the power loss that occurs in the copper windings of the machine due to the resistance of the wires. While copper loss is a separate type of power loss, core loss specifically refers to the power loss in the core material itself. Therefore, the correct answer is core loss.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Copper loss is ______loss

    • I square Rt   

    • Ohmic      

    • Both a) and b)

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a) and b)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is both a) and b) because copper loss refers to the power loss that occurs in the form of heat due to the resistance of the copper conductors in an electrical system. This loss is proportional to the square of the current flowing through the conductors (I square) and the resistance (Rt), making it both an Ohmic loss (due to resistance) and a loss that increases with the square of the current.

    Efficiency of a transformer is given by

    • Output power /input power

    • Input power /output power  

    • Out put magnetic lines of  force /input magnetic lines of force

    Correct Answer
    A. Output power /input power
    Explanation
    The efficiency of a transformer is determined by the ratio of output power to input power. This ratio indicates how effectively the transformer is able to convert the input power into useful output power. A higher efficiency value indicates that less power is being wasted and more power is being successfully transferred from the input to the output. Therefore, the correct answer is "output power / input power."

    • I 2 leads i 1 by 600  

    • I 2 leads i 1 by 1200           

    • I 1 lags i 2 by 300

    Correct Answer
    A. I 1 lags i 2 by 300
    Explanation
    The given equations represent two sinusoidal currents, i1 and i2. The phase difference between the two currents can be determined by comparing the arguments of the sine functions. In this case, i1 = 25 sin(ꙍt) and i2 = 15 sin(ꙍt+ π/6). The phase difference between i1 and i2 is given by the difference in the arguments of the sine functions, which is π/6. Since the phase difference is positive, i1 lags i2. Therefore, the correct answer is "i1 lags i2 by 300".

    The reactance offered by a capacitor to alternating current of frequency 60Hz is 9Ω. It Frequency to 180Hz reactance becomes______________ohms.

    • 38

    • 3

    • 27

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    When the frequency of an alternating current passing through a capacitor increases, the reactance offered by the capacitor decreases. In this case, the initial reactance at 60Hz is 9Ω. If the frequency is tripled to 180Hz, the reactance will decrease further. Therefore, the reactance at 180Hz will be less than 9Ω. Among the given options, the only answer that is less than 9 is 3Ω.

    • Lags , 135

    • Lags, 90

    • Lags, 0

    Correct Answer
    A. Lags, 90
    Explanation
    In a series R-L circuit, the voltage across the inductor (VL) lags behind the voltage across the resistor (VR) by 90 degrees. This is because the inductor causes a phase shift where the current lags the applied voltage by 90 degrees. Since the resistor's voltage is in phase with the current, the inductor's voltage lags it by exactly 90 degrees due to its inductive reactance.

    What will be the impedence for a circuit having capacitive reactance as 10Ω , inuctiv reactance as 6Ω  and resistance as 3Ω?

    • 5F     

    • 25 Ω     

    • 5 Ω

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 Ω
    Explanation
    The impedance of a circuit is the total opposition to the flow of current. In this case, the circuit has capacitive reactance, inductive reactance, and resistance. The capacitive reactance and inductive reactance are both measured in ohms, but they have opposite effects on the impedance. Capacitive reactance decreases the impedance, while inductive reactance increases it. The resistance also adds to the impedance. Since the capacitive reactance and inductive reactance are given as 10Ω and 6Ω respectively, and the resistance is given as 3Ω, the total impedance can be calculated by adding these values together. Therefore, the impedance is 10Ω + 6Ω + 3Ω = 19Ω. Hence, the given answer of 5Ω is incorrect.

    The turns ratio for a transformer is 4:7 what will be it’s output voltage if input voltage is 70 V.

    • 40V    

    • 490/4 V   

    • 280 V  

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. 40V    
    Explanation
    The turns ratio of a transformer determines the relationship between the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils. In this case, the turns ratio is 4:7, meaning that for every 4 turns in the primary coil, there are 7 turns in the secondary coil.

    Since the input voltage is given as 70V, we can calculate the output voltage by using the turns ratio.

    First, we can find the ratio of the input voltage to the turns in the primary coil:

    70V / 4 turns = 17.5V/turn

    Then, we can multiply this by the number of turns in the secondary coil to find the output voltage:

    17.5V/turn * 7 turns = 122.5V

    Therefore, the correct answer is 40V.

    • 90KW

    • 9000W

    • Both a and d

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a and d
    Explanation
    The efficiency of a transformer is defined as the ratio of output power to input power. In this case, the efficiency is given as 0.9 and the input power is 10KW. To find the output power, we multiply the input power by the efficiency. Therefore, the output power will be 10KW * 0.9 = 9KW. So, option a is correct. Additionally, option d is also correct because it includes option a.

    In an R-L circuit, the voltage across the resistor (VR) and the voltage across the inductor (VL) are not in phase with each other. They have a phase difference due to the presence of inductance in the circuit. Therefore, the correct answer is "phaser sum" because the voltages across the resistor and inductor need to be added as phasors to obtain the total applied voltage across the circuit.

    The ratio of effective value to RMS value is___________

    • Power factor

    • K factor

    • 1.11  

    • Both b)  and  c)

    Correct Answer
    A. Both b)  and  c)
    Explanation
    The ratio of effective value to RMS value is both K factor and 1.11. The K factor is a measure of the non-linear load on a power system, indicating how much the load distorts the waveform. A K factor of 1 means the load is linear and does not distort the waveform. On the other hand, 1.11 is a specific value that represents the ratio of the effective value to the RMS value. Therefore, both options b) K factor and c) 1.11 are correct.

    In a purely resistive circuit power is________

    • Always positive.

    • Never zero 

    • Zero.    

    • Both a) and b)

    Correct Answer
    A. Both a) and b)
    Explanation
    In a purely resistive circuit, the power is always positive because both the voltage and current are in phase, resulting in a positive power value. Additionally, the power is never zero because there is always some amount of power being dissipated as heat in the resistive element. Therefore, the correct answer is both a) and b).

     ________ is the largest instantaneous value. 

    • Effective

    • instantaneous

    • Peak.

    • Peak to peak

    Correct Answer
    A. Peak.
    Explanation
    The term "peak" refers to the highest point or maximum value of something. In this context, "peak" is used to describe the largest instantaneous value, meaning it represents the highest value at a specific moment in time. Therefore, "peak" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the largest instantaneous value.

    Vrms = ______ Vm  

    • √2.  

    • 0.707

    • √3.  

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.707
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 0.707. This value represents the relationship between the root mean square (Vrms) and the maximum value (Vm) of a sinusoidal waveform. The Vrms value is equal to 0.707 times the Vm value. This is derived from the mathematical calculation of the RMS value, which involves taking the square root of the average of the squared values of the waveform. The 0.707 factor is a constant that arises from this calculation and is used to convert the peak value to the RMS value.

    Phase difference is also called as:

    • Angular difference.

    • Phase angle

    • Phase response.

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Phase angle
    Explanation
    The phase difference refers to the difference in phase between two waves or signals. It is a measure of how much one wave is shifted in relation to another wave. The term "phase angle" is commonly used to describe this phase difference. Therefore, the correct answer is phase angle.

    In a purely capacitive circuit phase angle for current to voltage is:

    • 90° lead.

    • 90° lag

    • 0 to 90°.

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. 90° lead.
    Explanation
    In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by 90°. This means that the current waveform reaches its peak value before the voltage waveform does. This phase relationship occurs because in a capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage due to the fact that the capacitor stores energy in an electric field and releases it as the voltage across the capacitor decreases. Therefore, the correct answer is 90° lead.

    Power factor= 

    • Active power/ apperent power

    • Apperent power/ active power

    • Reactive power/ active power

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Active power/ apperent power
    Explanation
    The power factor is defined as the ratio of the active power to the apparent power in an electrical system. It represents the efficiency of the system in converting electrical power into useful work. A higher power factor indicates a more efficient system, while a lower power factor indicates a less efficient system. Therefore, the correct answer is active power/ apparent power.

    At resonance power is

    • Maximum

    • Minimum

    • Zero

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Maximum
    Explanation
    At resonance, power is maximum because the impedance of the circuit is purely resistive, resulting in maximum power transfer. This occurs when the inductive reactance cancels out the capacitive reactance, leaving only the resistance in the circuit. As a result, the power delivered to the circuit is at its maximum value.
