Answer: 4

2. The yoke of a DC machine is generally made of
  1. silicon steel
  2. cast steel
  3. soft iron
  4. cast steel

Answer: 4

3. If field current is decreased in shunt dc motor, the speed of the motor
  1. increases
  2. decreases
  3. remain same
  4. none of the above

Answer: 1
As a shunt field current If decreases, φ also decreases and the speed rises as speed is inversely proportional to flux

4. In Ward-Leonard system, the lower limit of the speed imposed by
  1. armature resistance
  2. field resistance
  3. residual magnetism of the generator
  4. none of the above

Answer: 3
In Ward-Leonard method of speed control, the lower limit of speed is imposed by residual magnetism of the generator.

5. Ward-Leonard control is basically a _________________________ control method.
  1. armature resistance control
  2. field control
  3. armature voltage control
  4. field diverter control

Answer: 3
Ward-Leonard speed control method consists a motor with a constant excitation and applying a variable voltage to its armature to provide the required speed. Hence it is armature voltage control method.

6. In a DC Machine, the current flow in a armature circuit is
  1. pulsating DC
  2. pure DC
  3. AC
  4. none of the above

Answer: 3

7. As the armature reaction effect increases, the main flux of DC machine is
  1. increases
  2. decreases
  3. remain same
  4. none of the above

Answer: 2

8. In DC machines, slot wedges are generally made of
  1. cotton
  2. fibre
  3. impregnated paper
  4. silicon steel

Answer: 2

9. Eddy current loss will depends on
  1. flux density
  2. frequency
  3. thickness
  4. all of the above

Answer: 4
