MCQ
1.Kirchhoff’s Current law is based on the law of conservation of ___________

a) energy
b) momentum
c) mass
d) charge

charge i.e, charge that flows in = charge that flows out.
1) The current law represents a mathematical statement of fact that ___________

a) voltage cannot accumulate at node
b) charge cannot accumulate at node
c) charge at the node is infinite
Answer: b
Explanation: Charge cannot accumulate at the node, it can only flow in and
out of the node.
2) Kirchhoff’s current law is applied at ___________

c) 9.3A, 20.22A, 11A
d) 10.56A, 24.65A, 14.79A
Answer: d
Explanation: All the resistors are in parallel, so the voltage across each
resistor is the same V.
i1=V/7, i2 = V/3, i3=V/5. By current law, 50A = V/7 + V/3 + V/5. On solving, we
obtain V and then values of i1, i2, i3.

Answer: b
Explanation: Here all the resistors are connected in parallel and let the
voltage be V. Hence, i15=V/15, i5=V/5, i2=V/2, i1=V/1. By kirchhoff’s current law,
V/15 + V/5 + V/2 V/1 +5 = 10. On solving equation, we obtain the value of V.

characteristics.
28) Characteristics drawn at Ia = 0 is also called as ____________
a) Magnetization characteristics
b) Non-magnetization characteristics
c) Anti-magnetization characteristics
View Answer
a. Answer: a
Explanation: With Ia = 0 (no load) at constant n, it is the presentation of Vt
(=Ea) vs If. This is the most important characteristic as it reveals the
nature of the magnetization of the machine. It is easy to determine as the
generator is on no load and so only low rated prime mover will serve the
purpose. It is commonly called the open–circuit/magnetization
characteristic.
29) Open circuit characteristics (OCC) is generally drawn across __________
a) Ea vs If, Ia=constant (not equal to rated)
b) Ea vs If, Ia=0
c) Ea vs If, Ia=constant
d) Ea vs If, Ia=constant (rated)
View Answer
a. Answer: b
Explanation: Open circuit characteristics is also called as no-load
characteristics or magnetization characteristics. No load clearly states that
armature current will equal to 0. Thus, OCC is drawn at Ea vs If, Ia=0.
30) Characteristics of a DC generator drawn across Vt vs If at rated armature current
and constant speed, is called as ____________
a) Load characteristics
b) No-load characteristics
c) External characteristics
d) Armature characteristics
View Answer
a. Answer: a
Explanation: Since we have I a value which is equal to rated i.e. non-zero, it
is indeed not a no-load characteristic. Axes given are V t and If, hence it is
not an armature characteristic. Thus, it’s called as load characteristic or
magnetization characteristic on load.
31) In an OCC at If =0, graph starts from origin.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
a. Answer: b
Explanation: As the machine would have been previously subjected to
magnetization, a small residual voltage would be present with field
unexcited. As will be seen practically, this is necessary for generator to
self-excite. So, graph will start from just above the origin on Voc axis.
32) While conducting OCC, in order to avoid hysteresis loop, in which direction If
should be increased?
a) -ve direction
b) +ve direction
c) In any direction
d) In both direction there exists hysteresis loop

in the forward direction otherwise the curve would exhibit local hysteresis
loops. In OCC at If =0 there exists small residual voltage shown by non-
zero Voc.
33) Air gap line is drawn at iron _________
a) Saturated
b) Unsaturated
c) Moderately saturated
d) Variable saturation
View Answer
a. Answer: b
Explanation: The extension of the liner portion of the magnetization curve,
is known as the air-gap line as it represents mainly the magnetic
behaviour of the machine’s air-gap, the iron being unsaturated in this
region consumes negligible ampere-turns; in any case the effect of iron is
also linear here.

____________
a) Above OCC at nrated
b) On OCC at nrated
c) Below OCC at nrated
d) Can’t comment by only speed information
View Answer
a. Answer: c
Explanation: For a less speed than the rated one, residual voltage
appearing at terminal call Voc will also be less than Voc at rated value, it
will vary in parallel manner but will never intersect OCC at rated speed.
35) Ea can be determined using __________
a) No-load characteristics
b) Load characteristics
c) Cannot be determined
d) Above OCC
View Answer
a. Answer: a
Explanation: Under load conditions Ea cannot be determined from the
OCC for If in the saturation region because of the demagnetizing effect of
armature reaction. We must therefore determine experimentally the
equivalent demagnetizing ampere-turns ATd due to armature reaction
under actual load conditions.
36) If load characteristics are drawn on OCC itself, we get curve ________
a) Above OCC
b) On OCC
c) Below OCC
d) Intersecting OCC
View Answer
a. Answer: c
Explanation: Since on load operation of a DC machine, we’ll get terminal
voltage less than the terminal voltage obtained in OCC, graph will start
from below OCC. On load, the effect of armature reaction will draw load
characteristics parallel to the OCC below it, causing no intersection.
37) Load characteristics drawn at Ra =0 and Ra not equal to 0, will lie _____
a) Above
b) On
c) Below
d) Intersecting
View Answer
a. Answer: c
Explanation: Load characteristics with at Ra =0 will lie below the load
characteristics drawn at Ra not equal to 0. To the load characteristic we
add IaRa drop to get Ea induced emf with load. Thus, it will lie above.

a) Back emf of these motors is zero initially
b) These motors are not self-starting
c) These motors have high starting torque
d) To restrict armature current as there is no back emf at starting
View Answer
b. Answer: d
Explanation: At the time of starting (n=0), the induced emf of a motor is
zero such that current drawn by armature, from rated voltage supply would
be Ia= V/Ra. Since armature resistance is very low, armature current drawn
is very high and will damage the machine.

parallel with DC mains. Both the coils are equally important in a motor
starter circuit.
32) 6. What will happen if DC motor is used without starter?
a) Heavy sparking at brushes
b) It’ll start smoothly
c) Will not start at all
d) Depends on load
View Answer
a. Answer: a
Explanation: It would cause intolerably heavy sparking at the brushes
which may destroy the commutator and brush-gear. Sudden development
of large torque will cause mechanical shock to the shaft, reducing its life.
Such heavy current cannot be generally permitted to be drawn from the
source of supply.
33) 7. Motor will start quickly when used without starter.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
a. Answer: a
Explanation: The only thing in favour of direct starting must be mentioned
here. Since the torque of the motor with direct start is much higher, the
motor starts much more quickly. As a consequence, the Joule input per
start is much less than that with resistance start.
34) 8. In shunt and compound motor starting the shunt field should be made on with
full starting resistance in ____________
a) Series with field
b) Parallel with field
c) Series with armature
d) Parallel with armature
View Answer
a. Answer: c
Explanation: In shunt and compound motors starting the shunt field should
be switched on with full starting resistance in armature circuit. A short time
delay in this position allows the field current to build up to the steady value
of the inductive field transients.
35) 9. A starter is required for a 220-V shunt motor. The maximum allowable current
is 55 A and the minimum current is about 35 A. The armature resistance of the
motor is 0.4 Ω. What will be the number of sections of starter resistance
required?
a) 5
b) 4
c) 6
d) 8
View Answer
a. Answer: c
Explanation: I1=55 A, I2 =35 A
So, γ= Ratio of upper limit to the lower limit = 55/35 = 1.57, R 1= 200/55= 4
Ω
Now, γn-1 = 4/0.4 = 10. By substituting γ value, we get n = 6.
36) 10. γ is given as 1.585. Resistance at maximum allowable current is given equal
to 4 Ω, what is the 5th step resistance?
a) 0.235
b) 0.370
c) 1.476
d) 2
View Answer
a. Answer: a
Explanation: γ is given as 1.585. So γ -1 is equal to 0.631. R1 is provided
and it is equal to 4 Ω.
r1= (1-0.631) * 4 = 1.476 Ω
r2= 1.476*0.631= 0.931 Ω, similarly calculating till r5= 0.235 Ω.
37) 11. Four-point starter is used when ______________
a) Motor field current is varied in narrow range
b) Motor speed is varied in small range
c) Motor field current is varied over wide range
d) Can be used anywhere
View Answer
a. Answer: c
Explanation: Three-point starter is employed where motor field current can
be varied in a narrow range and so does the motor speed while four-point
starter is used when motor field current can vary over a wide range and so
does the motor speed.
