In a transformer, the no-load current lags the applied voltage by approximately:
A
B 45°
C 90°
D 180°
Correct Answer:  C. 90°
EXPLANATION

At no-load, the transformer draws mainly reactive (magnetizing) current, which lags the applied voltage by approximately 90°, giving a power factor of about 0.1-0.2.

Test
A 3-phase induction motor has 4 poles and operates from a 50 Hz supply. The synchronous speed is:
A 1500 rpm
B 3000 rpm
C 750 rpm
D 1200 rpm
Correct Answer:  A. 1500 rpm
EXPLANATION

Synchronous speed Ns = 120f/P = (120 × 50)/4 = 1500 rpm for a 4-pole motor at 50 Hz.

Test
In an autotransformer, if primary turns = 100 and secondary turns = 400, the voltage transformation ratio is:
A 4:1
B 1:4
C 1:3
D 3:1
Correct Answer:  B. 1:4
EXPLANATION

In an autotransformer, the turns ratio is N2/N1 = 400/100 = 4/1, so voltage transformation ratio is Vs/Vp = 1:4 for a step-up autotransformer.

Test
The rotating magnetic field in a 3-phase induction motor rotates at:
A Synchronous speed
B Slip speed
C Rotor speed
D Half of synchronous speed
Correct Answer:  A. Synchronous speed
EXPLANATION

The rotating magnetic field produced by the 3-phase stator winding rotates at synchronous speed (Ns = 120f/P), independent of load or rotor speed.

Test
A transformer has primary turns = 1000, secondary turns = 100. If primary current is 2 A, what is the secondary current (neglecting losses)?
A 0.2 A
B 2 A
C 20 A
D 200 A
Correct Answer:  C. 20 A
EXPLANATION

Using transformer equation: Np/Ns = Is/Ip; 1000/100 = Is/2; Is = 20 A

Test
What is the typical slip value for a squirrel-cage induction motor operating at full load?
A 0-2%
B 3-5%
C 10-15%
D 20-25%
Correct Answer:  B. 3-5%
EXPLANATION

Full load slip for squirrel-cage motors typically ranges from 3-5% for good efficiency

Test
A 3-phase induction motor has 4 poles and operates at 50 Hz. What is the synchronous speed?
A 1250 rpm
B 1500 rpm
C 2400 rpm
D 3000 rpm
Correct Answer:  B. 1500 rpm
EXPLANATION

Ns = 120f/P = 120×50/4 = 1500 rpm

Test
In a transformer, the hysteresis loss depends on which of the following factors?
A Frequency and maximum flux density only
B Frequency, maximum flux density, and material property
C Current and resistance only
D Voltage and impedance
Correct Answer:  B. Frequency, maximum flux density, and material property
EXPLANATION

Hysteresis loss = η × B^1.6 × f × V, where η is Steinmetz constant, material property is crucial

Test
A 8-pole, 3-phase induction motor is required to run at approximately 720 RPM at 50 Hz. The approximate slip required is:
A 0.04 or 4%
B 0.08 or 8%
C 0.12 or 12%
D 0.20 or 20%
Correct Answer:  A. 0.04 or 4%
EXPLANATION

Ns = 120f/P = (120 × 50)/8 = 750 RPM. For Nr = 720 RPM, s = (750 - 720)/750 = 30/750 = 0.04 or 4%.

Test
The no-load core loss in a transformer is primarily due to:
A Copper losses in windings
B Hysteresis and eddy current losses in core
C Friction in mechanical parts
D Leakage flux
Correct Answer:  B. Hysteresis and eddy current losses in core
EXPLANATION

No-load losses consist of hysteresis loss (due to core magnetization reversal) and eddy current loss (due to induced currents in core material). Copper loss occurs only under load.
