-Inversly proportional to the temperature of electrodes.
-Inversaly proportional to the concentration of electrolyte
nature of electrolyte
concentration of electrolyte
nature of material of electrodes
size and spacing of electrode
54. The induction motor is preferred to DC motor because it-
provides high-starting torque
provide fine speed control
has simple and rugged construction
none of the above
55. The effect of a armature reaction is to-
The effect of a armature reaction is to-

57. What is a battery?
A battery is a device that stores electric power in the form of chemical energy. When necessary the energy is again released as electric power for DC consumers such as lighting and starter motors.
Current source
Voltage source
Power source
None
58. The ideal de generator is one that has ---voltage regulation
Ideally DC generators should have zero voltage regulation Any increase in load current caveses an increase in the field and hence the terminal voltage rise. Hence it has negative voltage regulation and it has the poorest voltage regulation.
low
zero
negative
positive
59. The shunt generator gives its greatest voltage at
With the increase of load the armature voltage drop, as a result the output voltage of shunt generator drops slightly. So at no load condition there is no armature voltage drops and greatest output voltage is found.
no load
full load
half-load
quarter load
60. The back emf in a de motor-
When DC Motor routes on the action of driving torque, the conductors move through the magnetic field and hence emf induce the direction of this emf oppose to applied voltage. This is called as back emf.
opposes the applied voltage
aids the applied voltage
aids the armature current
