What is the primary voltage of a transformer that has a secondary voltage of 240 volts and is rated 1-3 turn ratio
Correct Answer
C. 80 volts
Explanation
The primary voltage of a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the secondary voltage by the turn ratio. In this case, the turn ratio is 1-3, which means that for every 3 turns in the secondary coil, there is 1 turn in the primary coil. Therefore, the primary voltage is 3 times the secondary voltage. Since the secondary voltage is given as 240 volts, the primary voltage would be 3 times that, which is 720 volts. None of the given answer options match this calculation, so it seems that the correct answer is not provided.

The magnetic feild of a 3 phase motor rotor is caused by
Correct Answer
A. Current flow in the rotor
Explanation
The magnetic field of a 3 phase motor rotor is caused by the current flow in the rotor. When current flows through the rotor windings, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the stator's magnetic field, resulting in the rotation of the motor. The resistance in the rotor does not directly cause the magnetic field, but it affects the current flow in the rotor. The current flow on the stator is responsible for creating the stator's magnetic field, which interacts with the rotor's magnetic field to generate torque. Resistance to the stator is not relevant to the generation of the magnetic field in the rotor.
