Questions and Answers

1.

In what equipment is a photon radiated when an electron leaves a hole?.
- A.
  
  Photo-cell.
- B.
  
  LED.
- C.
  
  Photo diode.
Correct Answer
B. LED.

Explanation
When an electron leaves a hole, a photon is radiated in an LED (Light Emitting Diode). LEDs are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current is applied to them. The movement of electrons within the LED creates a recombination process where an electron fills a hole, releasing energy in the form of a photon. Therefore, an LED is the equipment in which a photon is radiated when an electron leaves a hole.

Elements such as phosphorus with 5 electrons in their outer shell, when combined with pure silicon, is a.
- A.
  
  Isotopic.
- B.
  
  Acceptor.
- C.
  
  Donor.
Correct Answer
C. Donor.

Explanation
When elements such as phosphorus, which have 5 electrons in their outer shell, combine with pure silicon, they act as donor atoms. This is because phosphorus has one extra electron that it can easily give away to the silicon atoms. This extra electron creates a negative charge, making the combined material n-type semiconductor. Therefore, the correct answer is "donor."

An atom with less than 4 electrons in its outer shell has.
- A.
  
  Low electrical resistance.
- B.
  
  No electrical resistance.
- C.
  
  High electrical resistance.
Correct Answer
A. Low electrical resistance.

Explanation
An atom with less than 4 electrons in its outer shell has low electrical resistance. This is because atoms with less than 4 electrons in their outer shell are more likely to lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This process of gaining or losing electrons allows the atom to become electrically charged, making it easier for electric current to flow through it. Therefore, atoms with less than 4 electrons in their outer shell have low electrical resistance.

Two inductive coils are placed in close proximity with each other at 90 degrees. The number of flux linkages is.
- A.
  
  0
- B.
  
  Maximum negative.
- C.
  
  Maximum
Correct Answer
A. 0

Explanation
When two inductive coils are placed in close proximity with each other at 90 degrees, there is no flux linkage between them. This is because the magnetic field produced by one coil is perpendicular to the other coil, resulting in no magnetic coupling between them. Therefore, the number of flux linkages is zero.

Three inductors 10 mH, 5 mH and 20 mH are connected in parallel. What is the total inductance?.
- A.
  
  Without knowing the coupling factor the total inductance cannot be found.
- B.
  
  2.86mH
- C.
  
  35mH
Correct Answer
B. 2.86mH

Explanation
The total inductance of inductors connected in parallel can be found by using the formula: 1/Ltotal = 1/L1 + 1/L2 + 1/L3 + ... In this case, the given inductors are 10 mH, 5 mH, and 20 mH. Plugging these values into the formula, we get 1/Ltotal = 1/10 + 1/5 + 1/20. Simplifying this equation gives us 1/Ltotal = 4/20 + 8/20 + 1/20 = 13/20. Taking the reciprocal of both sides, we find that Ltotal = 20/13 mH, which is approximately equal to 2.86 mH. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.86 mH.

The time constant of an inductor is.
- A.
  
  L/R
- B.
  
  L2 /R.
- C.
  
  LR.
Correct Answer
A. L/R

Explanation
The time constant of an inductor is given by L/R, where L is the inductance and R is the resistance. This formula represents the time it takes for the current in the inductor to reach approximately 63.2% of its final value when a voltage is applied. A larger inductance or a smaller resistance will result in a longer time constant, indicating a slower rate of change in current.

If the rate of change of current is halved, mutual inductance will_______
- A.
  
  Stay the same
- B.
  
  Halve
- C.
  
  Double
Correct Answer
A. Stay the same

Explanation
Mutual inductance is a property that quantifies the ability of two coils to induce a voltage in each other. It depends on factors like the number of turns in the coils and the geometry of the system. The rate of change of current refers to how quickly the current in one coil is changing. If the rate of change of current is halved, it means that the current is changing at a slower rate. Since mutual inductance is not directly dependent on the rate of change of current, it will remain the same. Therefore, the correct answer is "stay the same".

When more than two inductors of different inductance are connected in parallel in a circuit, the total inductance is.
- A.
  
  Equal to the sum of the individual inductance.
- B.
  
  Equal to the inductance of the highest rated inductor.
- C.
  
  Less than the inductance of the lowest rated inductor.
Correct Answer
C. Less than the inductance of the lowest rated inductor.

Explanation
When inductors are connected in parallel, the total inductance is less than the inductance of the lowest rated inductor. This is because inductors in parallel create multiple paths for the current to flow, which reduces the overall inductance. The inductors effectively "share" the current, resulting in a decrease in the total inductance compared to the individual inductances.

- B.
  
  63.2% of maximum value
- C.
  
  63.7% of maximum value
Correct Answer
B. 63.2% of maximum value

Explanation
The time constant in an inductive circuit is the time required for the current to reach 63.2% of its maximum value. This value is derived from the exponential decay equation that describes the behavior of current in an inductive circuit. At the time constant, the current has reached approximately 63.2% of its maximum value.

An induced current in a coil.
- A.
  
  Opposes the EMF producing it.
- B.
  
  Does not affect the EMF producing it.
- C.
  
  Aids the EMF producing it.
Correct Answer
A. Opposes the EMF producing it.

Explanation
When an induced current is generated in a coil, it creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in magnetic flux that is causing the current. This is known as Lenz's law. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux. Therefore, the induced current opposes the EMF producing it in order to maintain the equilibrium and conserve energy.

Capacitance is _________ to plate surface area.
- A.
  
  Directly proportional
- B.
  
  Inversely proportional
- C.
  
  Same
Correct Answer
A. Directly proportional

Explanation
The capacitance is directly proportional to the plate surface area. This means that as the plate surface area increases, the capacitance also increases. This relationship can be explained by the fact that a larger surface area allows for more electric field lines to pass through the capacitor, resulting in a greater charge storage capacity. Conversely, if the plate surface area decreases, the capacitance will also decrease.

  Both 1 and 3 true
- B.
  
  Both 1 and 2 are true
- C.
  
  Only 1 is true
Correct Answer
B. Both 1 and 2 are true

Explanation
The correct answer is "Both 1 and 2 are true". This means that both statements 1 and 2 are true. Statement 1 states that when inductance is more, there are more flux lines. This is true because inductance is directly proportional to the number of flux lines. Statement 2 states that when inductance is less, there are less flux lines. This is also true because inductance is inversely proportional to the number of flux lines. Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are true.

In thermister, if temperature increases its resistance ___________
- A.
  
  Increases
- B.
  
  Decreases
- C.
  
  Remain same
Correct Answer
B. Decreases

Explanation
In a thermistor, which is a type of temperature sensor, the resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This is because the thermistor is made of a material whose resistance decreases with increasing temperature. As the temperature rises, the atoms in the material vibrate more vigorously, causing more free electrons to move through the material, resulting in a decrease in resistance.

Correct Answer
B. Joule/sec

Explanation
The unit of power is Joule/sec because power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. The Joule is the unit of energy, and since power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time, the unit of power is Joule/sec.

An inductor is said to be saturated when.
- A.
  
  The current is at a maximum
- B.
  
  The current through it is zero
- C.
  
  It will no longer accept lines of flux.
Correct Answer
C. It will no longer accept lines of flux.

Explanation
When an inductor is saturated, it means that it has reached its maximum magnetic flux density. This occurs when the inductor is exposed to a magnetic field that is too strong, causing the core material to become fully magnetized. At this point, the inductor cannot accept any more lines of flux and its magnetic properties become compromised. This can lead to distortion and loss of inductance, affecting the performance of the inductor in a circuit.

In a DC motor, the stator's magnetic field, due to armature reaction, moves.
- A.
  
  In the same direction of rotation of the armature.
- B.
  
  In the opposite direction of rotation of the armature.
- C.
  
  Into alignment with the GNA.
Correct Answer
B. In the opposite direction of rotation of the armature.

Explanation
In a DC motor, the stator's magnetic field moves in the opposite direction of rotation of the armature due to armature reaction. This is because the armature reaction causes a magnetic field to be produced in the stator, which interacts with the permanent magnets or field windings in the rotor. This interaction causes the stator's magnetic field to move in the opposite direction of the armature's rotation, resulting in the generation of torque and the rotation of the motor.

  In a weaker field than a large air gap, for the same magnetising force.
- B.
  
  In a stronger field than a large air gap, for the same magnetising force.
- C.
  
  In the same field as a large air gap, for the same magnetising force.
Correct Answer
C. In the same field as a large air gap, for the same magnetising force.

Explanation
The correct answer is "in the same field as a large air gap, for the same magnetising force." This means that regardless of the size of the air gap between magnetic poles, the strength of the magnetic field will be the same when the same magnetising force is applied. The size of the air gap does not affect the strength of the magnetic field.

Decreasing the field current in a shunt motor will.
- A.
  
  Decrease speed and increase torque.
- B.
  
  Increase speed and increase torque.
- C.
  
  Increase speed and decrease torque.
Correct Answer
B. Increase speed and increase torque.

Explanation
Decreasing the field current in a shunt motor will increase the speed and increase the torque. In a shunt motor, the field current is responsible for creating the magnetic field that interacts with the armature current to produce torque. By decreasing the field current, the strength of the magnetic field decreases, resulting in a weaker interaction with the armature current. This causes the motor to spin faster (increase speed) as there is less resistance from the magnetic field. However, the decrease in the magnetic field also reduces the torque produced by the motor, meaning it has less force to overcome resistance or perform work. Therefore, the speed and torque both increase when the field current is decreased.

To calculate generator output you need to know the.
- A.
  
  Armature speed and number of series conductors.
- B.
  
  Armature speed and field strength.
- C.
  
  Armature speed and number of parallel conductors.
Correct Answer
B. Armature speed and field strength.

Explanation
To calculate the generator output, you need to know the armature speed and field strength. The armature speed refers to the rotational speed of the armature, which determines the frequency of the generated electricity. The field strength refers to the strength of the magnetic field created by the field windings, which determines the voltage of the generated electricity. By knowing both the armature speed and field strength, you can accurately calculate the generator output.

In a shunt motor, if you reverse both field current and the armature current, the motor will.
- A.
  
  Stop.
- B.
  
  Change direction.
- C.
  
  Continue to run in the same direction.
Correct Answer
C. Continue to run in the same direction.

Explanation
In a shunt motor, reversing both the field current and the armature current will not affect the direction of the motor. This is because the field current creates a magnetic field that interacts with the armature current to produce motion. Reversing both currents will simply reverse the magnetic field, but the interaction between the two currents will still result in the motor running in the same direction.

If a generator speed is halved and the field strength is doubled, the voltage output will be.
- A.
  
  Unchanged.
- B.
  
  Doubled.
- C.
  
  Halved.
Correct Answer
A. Unchanged.

Explanation
When the generator speed is halved, it means that the rotor is rotating at a slower rate. However, since the field strength is doubled, it compensates for the decrease in speed and maintains the same voltage output. This is because the field strength determines the strength of the magnetic field, which in turn affects the voltage output. Therefore, when the field strength is doubled, it counteracts the decrease in speed and keeps the voltage output unchanged.

How can the direction of rotation of a DC electric motor be changed?.
- A.
  
  Reverse the electrical connections to either the field or armature windings.
- B.
  
  Rotate the positive brush one commutator segment.
- C.
  
  Interchange the wires which connect the motor to the external power source.
Correct Answer
A. Reverse the electrical connections to either the field or armature windings.

Explanation
To change the direction of rotation of a DC electric motor, one can reverse the electrical connections to either the field or armature windings. By doing so, the polarity of the magnetic field generated by the windings is reversed, causing the motor to rotate in the opposite direction. This can be achieved by swapping the positive and negative terminals of the windings, effectively reversing the flow of current through them.

The only practical method of maintaining a constant voltage output from an aircraft generator under varying conditions of speed and load is to vary the.
- A.
  
  Rotates speed at which the armature
- B.
  
  Strength of the magnetic field.
- C.
  
  Number of conductors in the armature.
Correct Answer
B. Strength of the magnetic field.

Explanation
To maintain a constant voltage output from an aircraft generator, the strength of the magnetic field needs to be varied. This is because the voltage output of a generator is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. By adjusting the strength of the magnetic field, the generator can compensate for changes in speed and load, ensuring a constant voltage output. Varying the speed at which the armature rotates or the number of conductors in the armature would not be effective in maintaining a constant voltage output.

- C.
  
  Few turns of thick wire. few turns of thick wire. few turns of thick wire.
Correct Answer
C. Few turns of thick wire. few turns of thick wire. few turns of thick wire.

Explanation
The correct answer is "few turns of thick wire." In a series wound DC motor, the field winding is connected in series with the armature winding. This type of motor requires a strong magnetic field to generate high torque. The field winding is made up of a few turns of thick wire to provide a low resistance path for the current to flow through. This allows a large current to flow through the field winding, creating a strong magnetic field.

The commutator consists of a set of copper segments that are connected to the armature coils. As the armature rotates, the commutator reverses the direction of the current flow in the coils, ensuring that the current always flows in the same direction in the external circuit. This process converts the alternating current into direct current.

Some electric motors have two sets of field winding wound in opposite directions so that the.
- A.
  
  Speed of the motor can be more closely controlled.
- B.
  
  Motor can be operated in either direction.
- C.
  
  Power output of the motor can be more closely controlled.
Correct Answer
B. Motor can be operated in either direction.

Explanation
Some electric motors have two sets of field windings wound in opposite directions so that the motor can be operated in either direction. This is because the direction of rotation of an electric motor is determined by the direction of the magnetic field produced by the field windings. By having two sets of field windings wound in opposite directions, the motor can be easily switched to operate in either direction by changing the direction of the current flowing through the windings. This provides flexibility and allows the motor to be used for various applications where the direction of rotation needs to be controlled.

B. The same current as the armature.

Explanation
The interpole windings carry the same current as the armature. Interpole windings are a type of winding used in DC generators to improve commutation. They are placed between the main field poles and are connected in series with the armature. The purpose of the interpoles is to produce a magnetic field that opposes the armature reaction, thus reducing the effect of armature reaction on commutation. To achieve this, the interpoles must carry the same current as the armature, allowing them to generate a magnetic field that counteracts the armature reaction.

A circuit has 28 volts applied. The current flowing through a 2 ohms resistance is 1 amp. Then the other resistor is
- A.
  
  26 ohm in series with 2 ohm resistor
- B.
  
  26 ohm in parallel with 2 ohm resistor
- C.
  
  26 ohm in series with 1 ohm resistor
Correct Answer
A. 26 ohm in series with 2 ohm resistor

Explanation
When a circuit has 28 volts applied and the current flowing through a 2 ohms resistance is 1 amp, it means that the total resistance in the circuit is 2 ohms. Since the other resistor is in series with the 2 ohm resistor, it means that the total resistance of the circuit is the sum of the resistances of both resistors, which is 26 ohms + 2 ohms = 28 ohms. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 ohm in series with 2 ohm resistor.

When cells are connected in series, voltage-
- A.
  
  Subtractive
- B.
  
  Additive
- C.
  
  Same as source voltage
Correct Answer
B. Additive

Explanation
When cells are connected in series, the voltage across each cell adds up to give the total voltage. This is because the positive terminal of one cell is connected to the negative terminal of the next cell, creating a continuous path for the flow of electrons. As a result, the voltages of the individual cells add up, resulting in an additive effect.

Resistance is independent of-
- A.
  
  Temperature
- B.
  
  Mass of conductor
- C.
  
  Material of conductor
Correct Answer
B. Mass of conductor

Explanation
Resistance is independent of the mass of the conductor because resistance is determined by the material and dimensions of the conductor, not its mass. The mass of the conductor does not affect the flow of electrons through it or the collisions that occur between the electrons and the atoms of the conductor, which are the factors that determine resistance. Therefore, changing the mass of the conductor will not alter its resistance.

Transformer having no loss-
- A.
  
  Voltage transformer
- B.
  
  Step up
- C.
  
  Ideal
Correct Answer
C. Ideal

Explanation
An ideal transformer is a theoretical concept that assumes no losses in the transformer. In an ideal transformer, the input power is equal to the output power, and there are no losses due to resistance, leakage, or hysteresis. This means that the transformer operates at 100% efficiency, converting electrical energy from one voltage level to another without any energy losses. Therefore, an ideal transformer can be considered as a transformer with no loss.

Reactive Power is
- A.
  
  IV
- B.
  
  IVsinɸ
- C.
  
  IVcosɸ
Correct Answer
B. IVsinɸ

Explanation
Reactive power is represented by IVsinɸ. This is because reactive power is the component of power in an AC circuit that is not converted into useful work, but rather oscillates between the source and the load. It is measured in volt-amps reactive (VAR) and is calculated by multiplying the current (I) and the voltage (V) by the sine of the phase angle (ɸ) between them.

The 4^th band represents -
- A.
  
  Multiplier
- B.
  
  Tolerance
- C.
  
  Error
Correct Answer
B. Tolerance

Explanation
The 4th band on a resistor represents the tolerance. Tolerance refers to the allowable deviation from the resistor's stated resistance value. It indicates the range within which the actual resistance of the resistor can vary. This is important because resistors are not manufactured with 100% accuracy, and the tolerance value helps ensure that the resistor falls within an acceptable range of resistance.

Faraday’s Laws States that
- A.
  
  The magnitude of EMF is indirectly proportional to the magnetic Flux
- B.
  
  The magnitude of EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of Flux
- C.
  
  The magnitude of EMF is indirectly proportional to the rate of change of Flux
Correct Answer
B. The magnitude of EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of Flux

Explanation
Faraday's Law states that the magnitude of the electromotive force (EMF) induced in a circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit. This means that as the magnetic flux through a circuit changes, an EMF is induced in the circuit. The greater the rate of change of flux, the greater the magnitude of the induced EMF. Therefore, the correct answer is that the magnitude of EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux.

The magnet holds some of its magnetism, the property was-
- A.
  
  Reluctance
- B.
  
  Retentively
- C.
  
  Permittivity
Correct Answer
B. Retentively

Explanation
Retentively is the correct answer because it refers to the ability of a magnet to retain its magnetism over time. It explains the property of the magnet holding some of its magnetism. Reluctance refers to the opposition of a material to magnetic flux, and permittivity refers to the ability of a material to store electrical energy in an electric field.

Opposition to magnetic field-
- A.
  
  Reluctance
- B.
  
  Resistance
- C.
  
  Permeability
Correct Answer
A. Reluctance

Explanation
Reluctance is the correct answer because it refers to the opposition that a material exhibits to the flow of magnetic flux. It is similar to resistance in an electrical circuit, where it hinders the flow of current. Permeability, on the other hand, is a measure of how easily a material can be magnetized, while resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current. Therefore, reluctance is the most appropriate term to describe opposition to a magnetic field.
