A watt meter can be connected to a high current circuit by using
- A.
Eddy current transformer
- B.
Potential transformer
- C.
Current transformer
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Current transformerExplanation
A watt meter can be connected to a high current circuit by using a current transformer. A current transformer is a type of transformer that is specifically designed to measure high currents by stepping down the current to a lower, more manageable level. This allows the watt meter to accurately measure the power consumption in the circuit without causing any damage to the meter or the measuring equipment. Using an eddy current transformer or a potential transformer would not be suitable for measuring high currents as they are designed for different purposes.Rate this question:

The internal resistance of all milliammeter must be very low for
- A.
High resistance
- B.
High accuracy
- C.
Minimum effect on the current in the circuit
- D.
Maximum voltage drop across the meter
Correct Answer
C. Minimum effect on the current in the circuitExplanation
The internal resistance of a milliammeter must be very low in order to minimize its effect on the current in the circuit. A low internal resistance ensures that the milliammeter does not draw a significant amount of current from the circuit, which could alter the readings and accuracy of the measurement. By having a low internal resistance, the milliammeter acts as an ideal ammeter, accurately measuring the current without causing any significant changes in the circuit.Rate this question:

The number of kilowatts in 135 milliwatts is
- A.
1.35 × 10–4 kW
- B.
135 × 10–3 kW
- C.
0.0135 kW
- D.
0.00135 kW
Correct Answer
A. 1.35 × 10–4 kWExplanation
The given question asks for the number of kilowatts in 135 milliwatts. To convert milliwatts to kilowatts, we divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliwatts in 1 watt. Therefore, 135 milliwatts is equal to 135/1000 = 0.135 watts. To convert watts to kilowatts, we divide by 1000 again since there are 1000 watts in 1 kilowatt. Therefore, 0.135 watts is equal to 0.135/1000 = 0.000135 kilowatts. In scientific notation, this is represented as 1.35 × 10–4 kW.Rate this question:

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?
- A.
2mA
- B.
2.2 mA
- C.
214 mA
- D.
21.4 mA
Correct Answer
B. 2.2 mAExplanation
The color code for the resistor is red, orange, orange, silver. According to the color code chart, red represents the digit 2, orange represents the digit 3, and silver represents a multiplier of 0.01. Therefore, the resistance value of the resistor is 23 * 0.01 = 0.23 ohms. Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), the current (I) in the resistor can be calculated by dividing the voltage (V) of 50 V by the resistance (R) of 0.23 ohms. This gives us a current of approximately 217.39 mA, which can be rounded to 2.2 mA.Rate this question:

The induced voltage across a coil with 250 turns that is located in a magnetic field that is changing at a rate of 8 Wb/s is
- A.
1000v
- B.
2000v
- C.
31.25v
- D.
3.125v
Correct Answer
B. 2000vExplanation
When a coil is located in a magnetic field that is changing, an induced voltage is created in the coil. This induced voltage is given by the equation V = N * dΦ/dt, where V is the induced voltage, N is the number of turns in the coil, and dΦ/dt is the rate of change of the magnetic flux. In this case, the coil has 250 turns and the magnetic field is changing at a rate of 8 Wb/s. Plugging these values into the equation, we get V = 250 * 8 = 2000 V. Therefore, the correct answer is 2000v.Rate this question:

An electromagnetic field exists only when there is
- A.
An increasing current
- B.
Decreasing current
- C.
Voltage
- D.
current
Correct Answer
D. currentExplanation
An electromagnetic field exists only when there is a current. This is because an electromagnetic field is generated by the flow of electric charge, which is carried by a current. Without a current, there is no flow of charge and therefore no electromagnetic field. Both increasing and decreasing currents can generate electromagnetic fields, as long as there is a flow of charge. Voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of the potential difference between two points in a circuit and does not directly create an electromagnetic field.Rate this question:

If a loop in a basic dc generator suddenly begins rotating at a faster speed, the induced voltage
- A.
Remains unchanged
- B.
Reverses polarity
- C.
Increases
- D.
Decreases
Correct Answer
C. IncreasesExplanation
If a loop in a basic dc generator suddenly begins rotating at a faster speed, the induced voltage increases. This is because the induced voltage in a generator is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic field strength, which is determined by the speed at which the loop rotates. Therefore, if the speed increases, the rate of change of magnetic field strength also increases, leading to a higher induced voltage.Rate this question:

- D.
62,500
![Jelet Full Mocktest 2 - Quiz]()
Correct Answer
C. 6,250Explanation
The reflective resistance in a transformer can be calculated using the formula:
Reflective Resistance = (Number of turns in primary winding / Number of turns in secondary winding) ^ 2 * Secondary load resistance
In this case, the number of turns in the primary winding is 50 and the number of turns in the secondary winding is 10. The secondary load resistance is given as 250.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Reflective Resistance = (50/10)^2 * 250 = 5^2 * 250 = 25 * 250 = 6,250
Therefore, the reflective resistance is 6,250.Rate this question:

In a certain loaded transformer, the secondary voltage is one-fourth the primary voltage. The secondary current is
- A.
One-fourth the primary current
- B.
Four times the primary current
- C.
Equal to the primary current
- D.
One-fourth the primary current and equal to the primary current
Correct Answer
B. Four times the primary currentExplanation
In a transformer, the ratio of voltage between the primary and secondary coils is equal to the ratio of turns in the coils. Since the secondary voltage is one-fourth the primary voltage, it means that the secondary coil has one-fourth the number of turns compared to the primary coil. According to Ohm's Law, the current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance. Since the resistance in the secondary coil is one-fourth the resistance in the primary coil (due to the difference in turns), the current in the secondary coil will be four times the current in the primary coil. Therefore, the correct answer is "four times the primary current".Rate this question:

The primary winding of a power transformer should always be
- A.
Closed
- B.
open
- C.
shorted
- D.
fused
Correct Answer
D. fusedExplanation
The primary winding of a power transformer should always be fused. This is because the primary winding is connected directly to the power source, and in case of any overload or short circuit, the fuse will blow and protect the transformer from damage. Fuses act as a safety measure to prevent excessive current from flowing through the transformer, which could lead to overheating and potential failure. Fusing the primary winding ensures that any faults or abnormal conditions are quickly detected and isolated, safeguarding the transformer and the electrical system as a whole.Rate this question:

- A.
Circular arc
- B.
Parabola
- C.
Hyperbola
- D.
Elliptical
Correct Answer
B. ParabolaExplanation
When a heavy string is attached at two ends at the same horizontal level and the central dip is very small, it forms a parabolic curve. This is because the force of gravity acting on the string causes it to sag in the middle, creating a shape that resembles a parabola. The parabolic curve is a result of the balanced tension in the string and the force of gravity acting on it.Rate this question:

From a circular plate of diameter 6 cm is cut out a circle whose diameter is a radius of the plate. Find the e.g. of the remainder from the centre of circular plate
- A.
0.5 cm
- B.
1.0 cm
- C.
1.5 cm
- D.

The diameter of the circular plate is 6 cm, so the radius of the plate is half of that, which is 3 cm. The circle that is cut out from the plate has the same diameter as the radius of the plate, which is 3 cm. The distance from the center of the plate to the edge of the remaining portion is equal to the radius of the plate minus the radius of the cut-out circle, which is 3 cm - 3 cm = 0 cm. Therefore, the distance from the center of the circular plate to the edge of the remaining portion is 0 cm.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. HalfExplanation
In a framed structure, the force in the member AB is half the force in member AC. This can be understood by considering the equilibrium of forces at the joint where AB and AC meet. Since the structure is in equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on the joint must be zero. Therefore, if the force in AB is F, then the force in AC must be 2F in order to balance the forces. Hence, the force in AB is half the force in AC.Rate this question:

The center of gravity of a quadrant of a circle lies along its central radius (r) at a distance of
- A.
0.5 r
- B.
0.6 r
- C.
0.7 r
- D.
0.8 r
Correct Answer
B. 0.6 rExplanation
The center of gravity of a quadrant of a circle lies along its central radius at a distance of 0.6r. This is because the center of gravity of any symmetrical object lies along its axis of symmetry, which in this case is the central radius. Since the quadrant of a circle is symmetrical, its center of gravity will also lie along the central radius. The distance of 0.6r is a result of the distribution of mass within the quadrant, with the majority of the mass being closer to the center of the circle.Rate this question:

Solution: Stress p in x-direction causes tensile strain p/E in x-direction, while the ‘p’ in ‘y’ and ‘z’ direction causes compressive strains µ(p/E) in x-direction.
Therefore, ex = p/E - µ(p/E) - µ(p/E) = p/E × (1- 2µ)
So, ey =p/E × (1- 2µ), ez = p/E × (1- 2µ)

- B.
Load/ instantaneous cross-sectional area and loge (original area/ instantaneous area)
- C.
Load/ instantaneous cross-sectional area and change in length/ original length
- D.
Load/ instantaneous area and instantaneous area/original area
Correct Answer
B. Load/ instantaneous cross-sectional area and loge (original area/ instantaneous area)Explanation
The correct answer is "Load/ instantaneous cross-sectional area and loge (original area/ instantaneous area)". This is because the true stress-strain curve for materials is plotted using the load divided by the instantaneous cross-sectional area, which gives the true stress, and the natural logarithm of the ratio of the original area to the instantaneous area, which gives the true strain. This plot allows for a more accurate representation of the material's behavior under stress, taking into account the change in cross-sectional area as the material deforms.Rate this question:

D
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
According to Lami's theorem, if three forces acting at a point are in equilibrium, each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two forces. This means that the magnitude of each force is directly related to the angle between the other two forces. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it accurately represents Lami's theorem.Rate this question:

A number of forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium if
- (A) Their total sum is zero
- (B) Two resolved parts in two directions at right angles are equal
- (C) Sum of resolved parts in any two perpendicular directions are both zero
- (D) All of them are inclined equally

D
Correct Answer
C. CExplanation
The correct answer is C. A number of forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium if the sum of resolved parts in any two perpendicular directions are both zero. This means that the forces must be balanced in both the horizontal and vertical directions. If the sum of the resolved parts in any two perpendicular directions is not zero, then there would be a net force acting on the point, causing it to move. Therefore, for forces to be in equilibrium, their resolved parts in any two perpendicular directions must cancel each other out.Rate this question:

If the normal cross-section ‘A’ of a member is subjected to tensile force ‘P’, the resulting normal stress in an oblique plane inclined at angle ‘θ’ to transverse plane will be
- (A) (P/A) sin2θ
- (B) (P/A) cos2θ
- (C) (P/2A) sin 2θ
- (D) (P/2A) cos 2θ
- A.

C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
When a member is subjected to tensile force, the resulting normal stress in an oblique plane inclined at an angle θ to the transverse plane can be calculated using the formula (P/A) cos^2θ. This formula takes into account the component of the force acting perpendicular to the plane, which is equal to P cosθ, and divides it by the cross-sectional area A. The cos^2θ term accounts for the inclination of the plane. Therefore, option B, (P/A) cos^2θ, is the correct answer.Rate this question:

The brain of any computer system is
- A.
CPU
- B.
ALU
- C.
MEMORY
- D.
CONTROL UNIT
Correct Answer
A. CPUExplanation
The brain of any computer system is the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The CPU is responsible for executing instructions, performing calculations, and coordinating the activities of all the other hardware components in the computer system. It is considered the brain because it carries out all the necessary computations and operations that allow the computer to function. The CPU is composed of several components, including the control unit, arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and memory. Together, these components work together to process and execute instructions, making the CPU the most essential part of a computer system.Rate this question:

Which part interprets program instructions and initiate control operations.
- A.
CONTROL UNIT
- B.
LOGIC UNIT
- C.
INPUT
- D.
NONE
Correct Answer
A. CONTROL UNITExplanation
The control unit is responsible for interpreting program instructions and initiating control operations. It is a crucial component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that coordinates and directs the flow of data and instructions within the computer system. It fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and executes them by sending signals to other parts of the computer to perform the necessary operations. Without the control unit, the computer would not be able to effectively process and execute program instructions.Rate this question:

The binary system uses powers of
- A.
10
- B.
8
- C.
2
- D.
16
Correct Answer
C. 2Explanation
The binary system uses powers of 2. In the binary system, each digit represents a power of 2 starting from the rightmost digit. The rightmost digit represents 2^0, the next digit represents 2^1, the next represents 2^2, and so on. This is because the binary system is a base-2 system, meaning it only has two digits, 0 and 1. Each digit in a binary number can be either 0 or 1, and the value of the number is calculated by adding up the products of the digits and their corresponding powers of 2.Rate this question:
