For a parallel magnetic circuit having n parts, the total reluctance S is given by
1/S = 1/S1 + 1/S2 + . . . + 1/Sn
So two magnetic circuits having reluctance S1 and S2 are connected in parallel. Total reluctance
of the circuit will be
=(S1 × S2) / (S1 + S2)

Question 48. If the induction motor is made to run at synchronous speed, the value of slip will
be
A. 1
B.0
C. 0.5
D. 2
Answer-B
Solution:
If Ns and Nr being the synchronous speed of rotating magnetic flux and rotor speed respectively,
then the relative speed between them is equal to (Ns – Nr). Therefore, slip is defined as
Slip (s) = (Ns – Nr) / Ns
As we know that, the speed of rotor cannot be equal to synchronous speed i.e. Nr < Ns>
If the induction motor is made to run at synchronous speed, then speed of rotor equal to

A. Thermistor
B. Thermocouple
C. LVDT
D. RTD
Answer-B
Solution:
Transducer-Transducer is a device which converts one form of energy into another form i.e,.
the given non-electrical energy is converted into an electrical energy.
Types of Transducers
Active transducers
Passive transducers
Active transducers-Active transducer is a device which converts the given non-electrical energy
into electrical energy by itself. Thermocouple, Photovoltaic cell and more are the best
examples of the transducers
Passive transducers-Passive transducer is a device which converts the given non-electrical

energy into electrical energy by external force. Resistance strain gauge, Differential Transformer,
LVDT,RTD, Thermistor are the examples for the Passive transducers.
Question 54. Which support of overhead transmission line has least life?
A. Steel structures
B. Wooden poles
C. Concrete poles
D. Aluminium alloy structures
Answer-B
Solution:
The different types of structure (poles or towers) used for supporting the overhead lines or wires,
such types of structures are called line supports.
Wooden poles-These are made of seasoned wood (sal or chir) and are suitable for lines of the
moderate X-sectional area and of relatively shorter spans, say upto 50 metres.
The main objections to wooden supports are

(i) the tendency to rot below the ground level
(ii) comparatively smaller life (20-25 years)
(iii) cannot be used for voltages higher than 20 kV
(iv) less mechanical strength.
(v) require periodical inspection.
Question 55. In induction type energy meters
A. Neither Pressure coil nor current coil is moving

B. Only current coil is moving
C. Pressure coil and Current coil both are moving
D. Only pressure coil is moving
Answer-A
Solution:
The meter which is used for measuring the energy utilises by the electric load is known as the
induction type energy meter.
The energy is the total power consumed and utilised by the load at a particular interval of time.
The energy meter has four main parts. They are the
Driving System
Moving System
Braking System
Registering System
From above energy meter construction figure it clear Neither Pressure coil nor current coil
is moving but current or voltage through these coil take part in energy meter mechanism.
Question 56. In a temperature measuring instrument, a reading is recorded as 35.70° C. The

number of significant figures are
A. Three
B. Four
C. Five
D. Two
Answer-B
Solution:
Significant figures are the number of digits in a value, often a measurement, that contribute to the
degree of accuracy of the value.
We start counting significant figures at the first non-zero digit.
Since for 35.70° C Now, the significant number=4
Others Example
For 0.00025 Significant number =2
For 0.07° C Significant number =1
Question 57. Which is the largest non-conventional source of energy?
A. Wind energy
B. Biomass energy
C. Tidal Energy
D. Solar energy
Answer-D
Solution:
Energy generated by using wind, solar, small hydro, tides, geothermal heat and biomass is
known a non-conventional energy.
Solar energy is an essential energy of all non-conventional sources but its usage amount is very
less.
It is the most important non-conventional source of energy and it gives non-polluting

environment-friendly output and is available in abundant.
So it is largest non-conventional source of energy.
Question 58. Zero power factor method of an alternator is used to find its _________
A. Synchronous impedance
B. Efficiency
C. Armature resistance
D. Voltage regulation
Answer-D
Solution:
The zero power factor method of an Alternator is used to determine its voltage regulation.
Zero power factor method is also called the general method, the Potier reactance (or triangle)
method of obtaining the voltage regulation.
This method depends on the separation of the leakage reactance of armature and its effects.
It is used to obtain the leakage reactance and field current equivalent of armature reaction.
Question 59. Which of the following is NOT used to make the filament of the incandescent
lamp?
A. Tungsten
B. Carbon
C. Silver
D. Tantalum
Answer-C
Solution:
An incandescent bulb works on the principle of incandescence, a general term meaning light
produced by heat.
The filament is an important part of incandescent lamp.
The life of an incandescent lamp, depends on its filament.
The filament material must have following merits
High melting point.
Low vapour pressure.
Free from oxidation in inert gas (i.e. argon, nitrogen etc.) medium at operating temperature.
High resistivity.
Low thermal coefficient of expansion.
Low temperature coefficient of resistance.
Should have high young modulus and tensile strength.
Sufficient ductility so that can be drawn in the form of very thin wire.
Ability to be converted in the shape of filament.
High fatigue resistance against thermally induced fluctuating stresses.
List Materials used for Filament of Incandescent Lamp
1.Carbon
2.Tantalum
3.Tungsten
Incandescent bulbs typically use a tungsten filament because of tungsten's high melting point.
A tungsten filament inside a light bulb can reach temperatures as high as 4,500 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Question 60. Which of the following is a conventional source of energy?
A. Wind
B. Biomass
C. Solar energy
D. Fossil fuels
Answer-D
Solution:
The sources which have been in use since a long time are called as conventional sources of
energy. Fossil fuels, Petroleum, natural gas, coal, hydel energy, wind energy, nuclear energy are
examples of conventional sources of energy.
They are also called non-renewable sources of energy and are mainly fossil fuels, except hydel
energy. Fossil fuels are natural energy sources formed by processes such as decomposition of
buried organic matter.
