Fundamental of Electrical Engineering

1. A passive element designed to store energy in its magnetic field is

a) Capacitor
b) Inductor
c) Susceptance
d) Resistance
Answer: b
2. The conductance of a 923Ω resistance is
a) 1.08 * 10-3 mho
b) 1.08 * 10-4 mho
c) 1.02 * 10-3 mho
d) 1.02 * 10-4 mho
Answer: a
Explanation: C=1/R =1/923 = 1.08 * 10-3 mho
3. The current passing through a circuit is 7.2A and the power at the terminals is 27 watts.
Then resistance is ___________ ohms.
a) 0.5402
b) 0.5208
c) 0.5972
d) 0.5792
Answer: b
Explanation: p = vi
= (iR) i
= i2 R
R = P/i2
=27/ (7.2)2
= 0.5208Ω.
4. Relation between power, voltage and conductance
a) V = P2.G
b) V = P2/G
c) P = v2/G
d) P = V2 G
Answer: d
Explanation: P = vi
= v (v/R)
= v2/R
= v2G
