This set of Electrical Machines Multiple Choice Questions &

Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Singly Excited Magnetic
Systems”.

1. For a toroid to extract the energy from the supply system,

the flux linkages of the magnetic field must be ________
a) zero
b) changing or varying
c) constant
d) any of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: dWelec=idφ=eidt, where dWelec= differential
electrical energy to coupling field, and if the flux linkages
are either constant or zero, i.e, dφ=0, then dWelec=0.

b) 1/2 B2 µ
c) 1/2 ∅2 Rl
d) 1/2 B2/µ
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Magnetic stored energy density for iron is
given as
wfld=Wfld/((Length of the magnetic path through Iron)*(Iron
area normal to the magnetic flux))=1/2
(F∅)/(length*Area)=1/2 F/length ∅/area=1/2 H*B
Also, H= B/µ,thus wfld=1/2 B2/µ.

____________ where L=self-inductance and Rl=reluctance.
a) 1/2 Li2
b) 1/2 (mmf*Rl)2

Answer: a
Explanation: We know that Wfld=1/2 φi and L=φ/i , thus
Wfld=1/2 Li2.

The negative sign before ∂Wfld indicates that fe acts in a
direction as to tend to decrease the stored energy at
constant mmf.
