Part B – (16 Marks)

1. Explain the methods of energy conversion via Electric Field with examples of Electric
Machines (16)

2. (i) Specify the causes for Hysteresis and Eddy current losses in Electrical Machines. Also
suggest the methods in construction to minimize the above losses (8)
(ii) State the properties of magnetic material suitable for fabrication of Permanent Magnet

3. Explain clearly the statically and dynamically induced EMF (16)

4. (i) Derive an expression for an energy density in magnetic circuits. (6)

(ii) Explain in detail “Eddy current loss” (4)
(iii) The total core loss of a specimen of Silicon steel is found to be 1500W at 50 Hz
keeping the flux density constant the loss become 3000W when the frequency is raised
to 75Hz. Calculate separately the hysteresis and eddy current losses for each of these
frequencies. (6)
5. Derive the expression for self-inductance and mutual inductance and also define
coefficient of coupling (16)
6. The core of an electro magnet is magnet is made of an iron rod of 1 cm diameter, bent
into a circle of a mean diameter 10 cm, a radial air gap of 1 mm being left between the
ends of the rod. Calculate the direct current needed in coil of 2000 turns uniformly spaced
around the core to produce a magnetic flux of 0.2 mwb in the air gap. Assume that the
relative permeability of the iron is 150, that the magnetic leakage factor is 1.2 and that
the air gap is parallel.
7. Obtain the expression for Dynamically induced EMF and force (16)
8. Explain the AC operation of Magnetic circuit (16)
9. Summarize the properties of magnetic material (16)
10. Explain the Hysteresis and eddy current losses and obtain its expression (16)
