Name : JANOEL LUCAÑAS Time : 12: 12 AM Date: O3/02/22

Test I : Modified Fill in the blanks, select and write on the correct answer from the list below, strictly no erasure
1. Frequency The wave starts at zero, it rises to a maximum of the positive polarity, drops to zero, and goes exactly
the same in opposite direction, negative polarity.
2. Period of a Sine wave The time required to complete one cycle of a sinusoidal waveform is called.
3. Wavelength The distance traveled by the sine wave during one complete cycle is called.
4. Peak Value The magnitude of a sine wave from zero or reference axis to the maximum point of the wave.
5. Root-Mean-Square value The value of the alternating current that produces the same effect as the
corresponding value of direct current and equals the square root of 2 times the Peak value.
6. Average Value The sum of the instantaneous voltages in a half cycle wave shape divided by the number of
instantaneous voltage/current
7. Field Is a component of an AC generator t consist of coils of conductors within the generator that receives a
voltage from the source (called excitation) and produces a magnetic flux in the field cuts the armature to
produce a voltage.
8. Rotor The rotating component of the generator driven by the generator prime mover.
9. Stator The stationary components of an AC Generator, this component may be the armature or the field,
depending on the type of Generator.
10. Armature The part or component of the AC Generator in which the voltage is produced.
11. Prime Mover The component of an AC Generator that is used to drive the Generator.
12. Slip ring The component of an AC Generator that is used to transfer power to and from the rotor of an AC
generator.
13. Delta connected AC generator It is three-phase AC generator connection that has a constant current, but the
line voltage is increasing by square-root of 3.
14. Star connected AC generator It is three-phase AC generator connection that has a constant voltage , but the line
current is increasing by square-root of 3.
15. Automatic Voltage Regulator is a device designed to take a fluctuating voltage level and turn it into a constant
voltage level.
