Subject : MET Max. Marks 30

Note Solve any three questions. All questions carry 10 Marks

1. A capacitor of 67 microfarads, an inductor of 0.1 H and a resistance of 50Ω are connected in
series across an electrical supply of 200v single phase A.C. At what frequency power factor
will be unity and what will be the current flowing through circuit?

2. A moving coil instrument has resistance of 15 Ω and requires a current of 15mA to give full
scale deflection Calculate the resistance value of the necessary to enable it to used to measure
a) current up to 25A b) voltage up to 500V

3. A pump delivers 12700 liters of water per hour into a boiler working at 15 bar. The pump
which is 82% efficient is driven by a 220V motor having an efficiency of 89%. Calculate the
current taken by the motor.
Assume 1 lit of water to have a mass of 1Kg and 1Bar =105 N/m2

4. A battery having an emf of 110V and internal résistance of 0.2 Ω is connected in parallel
with another battery with emf of 100v and internal résistance of 0.25 Ω. There are two 5 ohm
resistances in parallel to these. The four in parallel are placed in series with a resistor of 5 Ω
and connected across 220V mains. Calculate
a) Magnitude and direction of current in each battery.
b) The total current taken from the mains.

5. A lighting transformer rated at 10 KVA has a full load loss of 0.3 KW, which is made up
equally from iron loss and copper loss. The duty cycle consists of full load for 3hrs, half
load for4 hrs and no load for remainder of 24 hrs period . If the load operates at unity power
factor, calculate the all day efficiency of the transformer.
