Magnetic Circuits, Motors and Generators

1. In motors of the same rating, which has the least starting torque?
A. DC shunt
B. AC shunt
C. Synchronous Motor
D. Asynchronous Motor
Discussion:
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt
with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation
even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC
motor.

2. Factors that affect friction and winding loses in DC motors.

A. Torque
B. Weight
C. Diameter
D. Speed
Discussion:
Mechanical losses occur at the bearing and brush friction loss occurs in wound
rotor induction motor. These losses occurs with the change in speed. In three
phase induction motor the speed usually remains constant. hence these losses
almost remains constant.

3. The law which refers to the strength of the magnetic field at a given point,
due to an element of a current-carrying conductor, is directly proportional
to the strength of the current and the projected length of the element and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the element from
the point in question.
A. Neumans Law
B. Newtons Law
C. Laplaces Law
D. None of the above

4. The rule that hysteresis loss in a magnetic material varies directly in

proportion with the cube of the magnetic induction.
A. Jacobs Law
B. Rayleighs Law
C. Groshs Law
D. None of the above

5. A transformer has a turns ratio of 7:1. If 5 volts is developed across the

secondary, what is the voltage applied to the primary? (Note: ES is given,
what is EP?)
A. 24V
B. 16V
C. 35V
D. 38V
Solution:

EP NP

or
ES NS
EP

E S N P 7 turns 5 V

35V
NS
1 turn

E is the voltage across primary and secondary

N is the number of turns across primary and secondary
