Briefly Justify Your Answer

2. Regarding an AC generator connected to the m am electrical bus; as the

electric load and power factor vary, a corresponding change is reflected in t he
generator armature reaction. These changes in armature reaction are compensated for b y
the _____________.
(A) governor speed droop setting
(B) voltage regulator
(C) balance coil
(D) phase-balance relay
Briefly Justify Your Answer

(A) slip rings and brushes

(B) an armature and b rushes
(C) inductive reaction of the rotating stator field
(D) external variable resistors
Briefly Justify Your Answer

4. An electrical dev ice which prevents an act ion from occurring until all other required
conditions are me t is called a /an ___________.

(A) limit
(B) monitor
(C) modulator
(D) interlock
Briefly Justify Your Answer
5. A circuit breaker and a fuse have a basic similarity in that they both _______ ______.

(A) can be reset to energize the circuit

(B) should open the circuit when overloaded
(C) will burn out when an over current flow develops
(D) all of the above
Briefly Justify Your Answer

6. The electrolyte in a lead-acid storage battery consists of distilled water and

_____________.
(A) hydrogen chloride
(B) calcium chloride
(C) sulfuric acid
(D) muriatic acid

7. An eight-pole armature is wound with 480 conductors. The magnetic flux and speed are such that the
average e.m.f generated in each conductor is 2.2A. Calculate the terminal voltage on no-load, the
output current on full load and total power generated on full load when the armature is
(A) lap-connected and
(B) wave-connected

8. What is meant by the resistivity (or specific resistance) of a conductor? An Aluminum wire 1.25mm
in diameter is connected in parallel with a brass wire 2m. long and of 1.5mm diameter. When the
combination is connected across an electric supply 1/3 of the total current which flows passes through
the brass-wire. Calculate the length of the aluminum wire given that -
resistivity of brass = 8 resistivity of aluminum 3

9. A non-linear resistance R1 is in parallel with a linear resistance. R2 across a 110 V D.C. supply.
R2 = 220 Ω
R1 has the following volt-amp. Characteristic :-
Volts …. 0 32 60 100 125 140
Amperes …. 0 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4
R1 is bilateral i.e. conducts equally well in either direction. Plot the characteristics for each resistance
and determine the current taken from the supply.

10. A metal filament lamp, rated at 750 W, 100 V, is to be connected in series with a capacitor across a
230V, 60 Hz supply. Calculate –
(A) the capacitance required and
(B) the phase-angle between the current and supply voltage.
