Electrical Machines and Circuits Questions
-
Induced current
-
Electric field
-
AC current
-
DC current
A
Correct answer
Explanation
If the circuit of the conductor is closed, then a current flows in the conductor due to the induced emf between the two ends. The current produced is called induced current.
-
electricity
-
ampere
-
volts
-
frequency(f)
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The number of rotations produced in one second is called the frequency of the alternating current.
-
full wave rectification
-
polarity
-
electrical conversion
-
electrical resistance
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The process by which alternating current is converted into direct current is called full wave rectification.
-
electric bulb
-
voltmeter
-
galvanometer
-
transformer
D
Correct answer
Explanation
AC power can be increased or decreased in voltage by using a transformer.
-
alternating current
-
galvanic current
-
potential difference
-
voltage stability
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A term formerly used for direct current was galvanic current.
-
It will fuse the tester.
-
It will heat the wire.
-
It can give shock.
-
The cells of battery will drain very quickly.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
While checking a tester, it is recommended not to join its free ends for more than a few seconds because the cells of battery will drain very quickly.
-
Thyratron
-
Krytron
-
Sprytron
-
Ignitrons
D
Correct answer
Explanation
An ignitron is a type of controlled rectifier dating from the 1930's.Ignitrons were long used as high-current rectifiers in major industrial and utility installations where thousands of amperes of AC current must be converted to DC, such as aluminum smelters.
-
Cross talk
-
Impulse
-
Pulse
-
Thermal
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Cross talk is caused due to the inductive coupling between two wires that are close to each other.
-
electric path
-
electric circuit
-
electric network
-
electric current
-
None of these
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, it is the correct answer.
-
Short circuit
-
Overloading
-
Fluctuation
-
Circuit will not be complete.
-
None of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, it is the correct answer. This may happen if the insulation of the wires has come off due to wear and tear. This may cause a short circuit. This results in overcurrent.
-
One has to replace the melted fuse wire with a new one.
-
One has to replace the MCB with a new one.
-
One has to switch it on.
-
One has to lessen the load.
-
None of these
-
Dynamo
-
Conductor
-
Inductor
-
Transformer
D
Correct answer
Explanation
A transformer changes AC voltage levels through electromagnetic induction between primary and secondary coils. It cannot work with DC current. Dynamos generate electricity, conductors transmit current, and inductors oppose current changes.
-
Totem pole output
-
Open collector output
-
Active pull up
-
Schottky TTL
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Open collector output TTL can be used for wired-AND (also called wired-OR for negative logic) connections. Multiple open collector outputs can be connected together with a single external pull-up resistor, implementing the AND function. Totem pole outputs cannot be wired together due to potential short circuits.
-
call the police
-
call the electricity board
-
try to put it off by spraying water
-
try to disconnect the high tension wires
B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is too hazardous to disconnect the wires. Spraying water on the wires is also very dangerous. Calling the police is also not going to help the situation. The best option is to call the electricity board since they know how to handle the situation.
-
increase DC voltage
-
increase or decrease AC voltage
-
decrease DC voltage
-
convert DC into AC
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which requires a changing magnetic field. This is why transformers only function with alternating current (AC), allowing voltage to be stepped up or down. DC voltage cannot be transformed directly - it requires electronic converters.
