    Current flows in a circuit when

    • A switch is opened

    • A switch is closed

    • The switch is either open or closed

    • There is no voltage

    Correct Answer
    A. A switch is closed
    Explanation
    When a switch is closed in a circuit, it completes the electrical path between the power source and the load, allowing current to flow. This is because the closed switch creates a continuous loop for the electrons to move through, enabling the flow of electric charge. On the other hand, when the switch is opened, it breaks the circuit and interrupts the flow of current. Therefore, the correct answer is that current flows in a circuit when a switch is closed.

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 V
    Explanation
    When two voltage sources are connected in series aiding, their voltages add up. In this case, the 6 V and 9 V sources are connected in series aiding, so the total voltage is the sum of the two voltages, which is 6 V + 9 V = 15 V.

    Desired tripping of a circuit breaker is

    • Manually

    • Automatically

    • That it should give warning

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Automatically
    Explanation
    The desired tripping of a circuit breaker is automatically. This means that the circuit breaker should be able to detect any abnormal conditions, such as overcurrent or short circuit, and trip or disconnect the circuit automatically to protect the electrical system from damage or fire hazards. Manual tripping would require human intervention, which may not always be possible or timely. Giving a warning without tripping the breaker would not provide the necessary protection against electrical faults. Therefore, the automatic tripping of the circuit breaker is the most appropriate and desired option.

    • 120 V

    • 240 V

    • 2,400 V

    Correct Answer
    A. 240 V
    Explanation
    The secondary voltage of a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the turns ratio with the primary voltage. In this case, the turns ratio is given as 20 and the primary voltage is 12 V. Therefore, the secondary voltage would be 20 times 12 V, which equals 240 V.

    A transformer

    • Changes ac to dc

    • Changes dc to ac

    • Steps up or down dc voltages

    • Steps up or down ac voltages

    Correct Answer
    A. Steps up or down ac voltages
    Explanation
    A transformer is a device that is used to step up or step down the voltage of an alternating current (AC) electrical supply. It consists of two or more coils of wire, known as windings, that are wrapped around a core. When an AC current flows through one of the windings, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the other winding. This allows the transformer to increase (step up) or decrease (step down) the voltage of the AC supply, depending on the ratio of the number of turns in the windings. Therefore, the correct answer is that a transformer steps up or down AC voltages.

    How much voltage is needed to produce 2.5 A of current through a 200  resistor?

    • 50 V

    • 500 V

    • 80 V

    • 8 V

    Correct Answer
    A. 500 V
    Explanation
    To calculate the voltage needed, we can use Ohm's Law which states that voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). In this case, the current is given as 2.5 A and the resistance is 200 Ω. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = 2.5 A * 200 Ω = 500 V. Therefore, the correct answer is 500 V.

    • 6.5 V

    • 13 V

    • 26 V

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 26 V
    Explanation
    The peak-to-peak value of a sine wave is twice the peak value. Since the peak value is given as 13 V, the peak-to-peak value would be 2 times 13 V, which equals 26 V. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 V.

    A circuit breaker is a

    • Fuse

    • Switch

    • Resettable protective device

    • Resistor

    Correct Answer
    A. Resettable protective device
    Explanation
    A circuit breaker is a resettable protective device. Unlike a fuse, which needs to be replaced once it has blown, a circuit breaker can be reset after it has tripped due to an overload or short circuit. It is designed to automatically interrupt the flow of electricity when it detects a fault, protecting the electrical circuit and preventing damage to the connected devices. By resetting the circuit breaker, the circuit can be restored to its normal functioning, making it a convenient and efficient protective device for electrical systems.

    If air gap in an induction motor is increased, it power factor will

    • Remain same.

    • Decrease.

    • Increase.

    • None of these. 

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease.
    Explanation
    When the air gap in an induction motor is increased, the power factor will decrease. The power factor is a measure of how effectively the motor converts electrical power into mechanical power. A larger air gap increases the magnetic reluctance, which reduces the motor's efficiency and results in a lower power factor. This decrease in power factor indicates that the motor is drawing more reactive power from the electrical system, leading to a less efficient operation.

    A circuit breaker is

    • Power factor correcting device

    • A device to neutralize the effect of transients

    •  a waveform correcting device

    • A current interrupting device.

    Correct Answer
    A. A current interrupting device.
    Explanation
    A circuit breaker is a device that is used to interrupt or break the flow of current in an electrical circuit. It is designed to protect the circuit and the connected electrical equipment from damage due to overcurrent or short circuits. When an excessive current is detected, the circuit breaker automatically opens the circuit, preventing further flow of current and thereby preventing any potential damage or hazards. Therefore, a circuit breaker is primarily a current interrupting device.

    When the current is 2.5 A, how many coulombs pass a point in 0.2 s?

    • 12.5 C

    • 1.25 C

    • 0.5 C

    • 5 C

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.5 C
    Explanation
    In order to calculate the number of coulombs that pass a point in a given time, we can use the formula Q = I * t, where Q is the charge in coulombs, I is the current in amperes, and t is the time in seconds. In this case, the current is 2.5 A and the time is 0.2 s. Plugging these values into the formula, we get Q = 2.5 A * 0.2 s = 0.5 C. Therefore, 0.5 C is the correct answer.

    If the number of resistances are connected in parallel then the equivalent resistance is

    • Decreases.

    • Increases.

    • Remain same.

    • None of the above. 

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreases.
    Explanation
    When resistances are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance decreases. This is because in a parallel circuit, the total current is divided among the resistances, resulting in a decrease in the overall resistance. As more paths are available for the current to flow, the total resistance decreases. Therefore, the correct answer is "decreases."

    In a three-phase system, when the loads are perfectly balanced, the neutral current is

    • Zero

    • One-third of maximum

    • Two-thirds of maximum

    • At maximum

    Correct Answer
    A. Zero
    Explanation
    In a three-phase system, when the loads are perfectly balanced, the neutral current is zero. This is because in a balanced system, the three phases carry equal currents and have equal magnitudes but are out of phase with each other by 120 degrees. As a result, the sum of the currents in the three phases cancels out at the neutral point, resulting in zero current flowing through the neutral conductor.

    Which of the following capacitors is polarized?

    • Mica

    • Ceramic

    • Plastic-film

    • Electrolytic

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrolytic
    Explanation
    Electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors, meaning they have a positive and negative terminal. This is because they are constructed with an electrolyte solution and a thin oxide layer, which allows them to store large amounts of charge. The polarity is important because reversing the voltage can damage the capacitor. In contrast, mica, ceramic, and plastic-film capacitors are non-polarized and can be connected in either direction without any issues.

    Which of the following meter is an integrating type instrument?

    • Ammeter

    • Voltmeter

    • Wattmeter

    • Energy metre

    Correct Answer
    A. Energy metre
    Explanation
    An energy meter is an integrating type instrument because it measures the total energy consumed over a period of time. It is used to measure the electrical energy consumed by a load or a system. Unlike ammeters and voltmeters which measure current and voltage respectively at a specific instant, an energy meter integrates the product of current and voltage over time to calculate the total energy consumption. Wattmeters, on the other hand, measure power which is the rate at which energy is consumed, but they do not integrate the energy over time.

    The correct answer is high permeability. In order to reduce the size of a DC generator, the magnetic material used should have high permeability. This is because high permeability materials allow for a stronger magnetic field to be generated with a smaller amount of material. This helps in making the generator more compact and efficient. Low permeability materials would require a larger amount of material to generate the same magnetic field, resulting in a larger and less efficient generator. High resistance and high reluctance are not relevant factors in reducing the size of a DC generator.

    A two-terminal variable resistor is known as a

    • Potentiometer

    • Thermistor

    • Rheostat

    • Wiper

    Correct Answer
    A. Rheostat
    Explanation
    A two-terminal variable resistor is known as a rheostat. A rheostat is a type of resistor that can be adjusted to vary the amount of current flowing through a circuit. It is commonly used to control the brightness of lights or the speed of motors. Unlike a potentiometer, which has three terminals and is used to measure voltage, a rheostat only has two terminals and is used to control current. A thermistor, on the other hand, is a type of resistor that changes its resistance with temperature, and a wiper is a part of a potentiometer that makes contact with the resistive element.

    A certain transformer has 400 turns in the primary winding and 2,000 turns in the secondary winding. The turns ratio is

    • 0.2

    • 0.4

    • 5

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The turns ratio of a transformer is calculated by dividing the number of turns in the secondary winding by the number of turns in the primary winding. In this case, the transformer has 2,000 turns in the secondary winding and 400 turns in the primary winding. Therefore, the turns ratio is 5.

    A signal with a 400 s period has a frequency of - ProProfs

    A signal with a 400 s period has a frequency of

    • 250 Hz

    • 2,500 Hz

    • 25,000 Hz

    • 400 Hz

    Correct Answer
    A. 2,500 Hz
    Explanation
    The frequency of a signal is the number of cycles it completes in one second. To find the frequency, we can use the formula: frequency = 1/period. In this case, the period is given as 400 s. Using the formula, we can calculate the frequency as 1/400 = 0.0025 Hz. However, the options provided are in Hz, so we need to convert the frequency to Hz by multiplying it by 1000. Therefore, the correct answer is 2,500 Hz.

    Permanent magnet moving coil instruments can be used for the measurement of

    • AC only

    • DC only

    • Both AC and DC

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. DC only
    Explanation
    Permanent magnet moving coil instruments can be used for the measurement of DC only because they rely on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a current is induced in the coil when it moves in a magnetic field. In DC circuits, the current flows in one direction, causing the coil to move consistently and provide accurate measurements. However, in AC circuits, the current direction changes periodically, resulting in oscillations of the coil, making it unsuitable for accurate measurements. Therefore, these instruments are not suitable for measuring AC currents.

    With rise in temperature the resistance of conductors

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Remains constant

    • First increase then decrease

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases
    Explanation
    As temperature increases, the resistance of conductors increases. This is because as the temperature rises, the atoms in the conductor vibrate more vigorously, causing more collisions with the moving electrons. These collisions impede the flow of electrons, resulting in an increase in resistance. Therefore, the resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature, and it increases as the temperature rises.

    If the back emf in a dc motor vanishes sundenly, the motor will

    •  start hunting.

    • Burn.

    • Run at very high speed

    • Run noisy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Burn.
    Explanation
    If the back emf in a DC motor suddenly vanishes, it means that there is no counter electromotive force opposing the flow of current in the motor. This can result in a rapid increase in current, leading to excessive heat generation. Without the back emf to limit the current, the motor can overheat and eventually burn out.

    A resistor is connected across a 50 V source. What is the current in the resistor if the color code is red, orange, orange, silver?

    • 2 mA

    • 2.2 mA

    • 214 mA

    • 21.4 mA

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.2 mA
    Explanation
    The color code for the resistor indicates its resistance value. In this case, red represents 2, orange represents 3, and silver represents a decimal multiplier of 0.01. Therefore, the resistance of the resistor is 23 * 0.01 = 0.23 ohms. Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), we can calculate the current by dividing the voltage (50 V) by the resistance (0.23 ohms). The current is approximately 217.39 mA, which is closest to 2.2 mA.
