26. Increase of load, the motion of DC shunt motor will-
As increased load means that it requires more torque to turn at that speed. The motor is not producing that torque. So motor will slow or decrease a little bit.
remain unchanged
increase a little bit
increase tremendously
decrease a little bit
27. The efficiency of the DC motor at maximum power is-
90%
100%
Around 80%
Less than 50%
28. If the back EMF of DC motor vanishes then-
If back emf vanishes suddenly, motor circuit will try to retain emf by drawing more current from supply. If supplying unit didn't trip down by this time, excess current in armature may heat up the armature.
The motor continues to run
Motor will stop
Armature will burn
The motor continues to run in slow speed
29. The direction of induced e.m.f can be found by -
The direction of the induced emf is always such as to result in opposition to the change producing it. This law is known as Lenz's law
Lenz's law
Fleming's Right hand rule
Kirchoff's law
Ohm's law
30. Why is the speed of DC shunt motor dependent on Back EMF?
The field winding is connected across the armature. The resistance offered by the field is constant so the current is constant. Therefore the speed of the DC shunt motor depends on the back EMF.
Because flux is proportional to the armature current
Because armature drop is negligible
Because Back EMF is equal to armature current
Because flux is constant in DC shunt motor
31. The basic electrical requirement is art. Welding is that there should be-
The art of welding refers to a fabrication process that causes coalescence between materials such as metals, thermoplastics and others. In welding, heat is used to melt the workpieces and a filler materials is used to form a weld pool or molten material.

Separately excited motor
Series motor

33. Ampere-hour is the unit of-
Power is measured in watt. Joules. Strength of current measured in Amperes. Ampere-hour is the unit of quantity of electricity of electric charge.
quantity of electricity
strength of current

energy
34. The DC series motor should never be switched on at no load because-
When the DC motor is connected across the supply without load then it will draw a small amount of current form supply. As low current will flow through the field winding as well as armature widing so main flux produced will be lesser. As, main flux is lower. speed will tend to increase. As speed increases back em also increases and thus current drawn from the supply will become more and more lower and thus main flux will also become more and more lower and thus speed will tend to increase more and more.
the field current is zero
the machine does not pickup
the speed becomes dangerously high
it will take too long to accelerate
35. In the DC machine, the fractional pitch winding is used-
They improve the waveform of generated EMF Le. generated EMF can be made to approximate to sine wave more easily and the distorting harmonics can be reduced or totally eliminated.
To reduce the harmonic in generated EMF
Improve cooling
Increase EMF
To reduce the copper losses
36. Which part of DC motor can sustain maximum temperature rise?
Field winding in a DC motor is not a rotating part. It is present away from the motating part of the machine. So, temperature rise in the machine will not produce any effect on the machine rotation. Thuse field winding can sustain the maximum temperature rise.
Armature winding
Field winding
Slip ring
Commutator
37. Counter EMF of the DC motor is-
Counter emf or back emf makes the DC motor a self- regulating machine. Le. It makes the DC motor to draw armature current which is just enough to develop the required torque. Thus it helps in energy conversion and it is always less than applied voltage.
Less than the applied voltage
More than the applied voltage
Equal to the applied voltage
None of the above
38. For which of the following protection from negative sequence currents is provided?
