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 transformer
Explanation 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.

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 circuit
Explanation 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.

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 kW
Explanation 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.

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 mA
Explanation 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.

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. 2000v
Explanation 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.

An electromagnetic field exists only when there is
A.
An increasing current
B.
Decreasing current
C.
Voltage
D.
current
Correct Answer
D. current
Explanation 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.

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. Increases
Explanation 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.

A.
4 kVA
B.
0.25 kVA
C.
16 kVA
D.
8 kVA
Correct Answer
C. 16 kVA
Explanation The kVA rating required for a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the load current in amperes by the secondary voltage in kilovolts. In this case, the load current is 8 A and the secondary voltage is 2 kV. Therefore, the kVA rating required is 8 A x 2 kV = 16 kVA.

If a transformer has 50 turns in the primary winding and 10 turns in the secondary winding, what is the reflective resistance if the secondary load resistance is 250 ?
A.
250
B.
25
C.
6,250
D.
62,500
Correct Answer
C. 6,250
Explanation 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.
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 current
Explanation 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".

The primary winding of a power transformer should always be
A.
Closed
B.
open
C.
shorted
D.
fused
Correct Answer
D. fused
Explanation 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.

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.
2.5 cm
Correct Answer
A.
0.5 cm
Explanation 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.

Correct Answer
A. Half
Explanation 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.

A.
0.5 r
B.
0.6 r
C.

D.
0.8 r
Correct Answer
B. 0.6 r
Explanation 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.

This formula is derived from the definition of strain energy as the work done to deform the material. In this case, the shear stress τ is used to calculate the strain energy, with the modulus of rigidity G representing the material's resistance to shearing deformation. The volume of the shaft is also taken into account as it influences the total amount of strain energy stored.

Explanation The moment of inertia of a thin disc can be calculated using the formula I = (1/2)mr^2, where m is the mass of the disc and r is the radius. This formula is derived from the parallel axis theorem, which states that the moment of inertia about an axis parallel to and a distance h away from an axis through the center of gravity is equal to the moment of inertia about the center of gravity plus the mass times the square of the distance between the two axes. In this case, since the axis is passing through the center of gravity, the distance h is zero, resulting in the moment of inertia being equal to (1/2)mr^2. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

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.

(D) (P/2A) cos 2θ
A.
A
B.
B
C.
C
D.
D
Correct Answer
B. B
Explanation 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.

The brain of any computer system is
A.
CPU
B.
ALU
C.
MEMORY
D.
CONTROL UNIT
Correct Answer
A. CPU
Explanation 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.

A.
110
B.
01
C.
11
D.
10
Correct Answer
B. 01
Explanation The 1's complement of a binary number is obtained by flipping all the bits. In this case, the binary representation of 10 is 1010. Flipping all the bits gives us 0101, which is equivalent to the decimal number 5. Therefore, the 1's complement of 10 is 01.

Which part interprets program instructions and initiate control operations.
A.
CONTROL UNIT
B.
LOGIC UNIT
C.
INPUT
D.
NONE
Correct Answer
A. CONTROL UNIT
Explanation 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.

The binary system uses powers of
A.
10
B.
8
C.
2
D.
16
Correct Answer
C. 2
Explanation 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.
