An induction motor is running at a slip of 4%. If the synchronous speed is 1500 RPM, the actual rotor speed is:
A 1440 RPM
B 1410 RPM
C 1500 RPM
D 1560 RPM
Correct Answer:  A. 1440 RPM
EXPLANATION

Slip s = (Ns - Nr)/Ns = 0.04. Therefore, Nr = Ns(1-s) = 1500(1-0.04) = 1440 RPM.

Test
The copper loss in a transformer is minimum when:
A Load current is zero
B Core flux is maximum
C Iron loss equals copper loss
D Transformer operates at no-load
Correct Answer:  A. Load current is zero
EXPLANATION

Copper loss PCu = I²R is proportional to current squared. It is minimum when load current is zero (no-load condition).

Test
The slip of an induction motor at rated load is typically in the range of:
A 0.5% to 2%
B 5% to 10%
C 15% to 25%
D 25% to 35%
Correct Answer:  A. 0.5% to 2%
EXPLANATION

For standard induction motors, slip at full load is typically 0.5% to 2%, ensuring minimal speed variation and high efficiency.

Test
What is the synchronous speed of a 6-pole, 3-phase induction motor operating at 50 Hz frequency?
A 500 RPM
B 1000 RPM
C 1500 RPM
D 750 RPM
Correct Answer:  B. 1000 RPM
EXPLANATION

Synchronous speed Ns = 120f/P = (120 × 50)/6 = 1000 RPM, where f = frequency and P = number of poles.

Test
In a DC motor, the back EMF is proportional to which of the following?
A Speed and magnetic flux only
B Armature current only
C Applied voltage only
D Load torque only
Correct Answer:  A. Speed and magnetic flux only
EXPLANATION

Back EMF in DC motor: Eb = PΦN/60, which depends on flux (Φ) and speed (N). It is independent of armature current and load torque.

Test
Which of the following losses in a transformer occurs in both primary and secondary windings?
A Eddy current loss
B Hysteresis loss
C Copper loss
D Magnetic loss
Correct Answer:  C. Copper loss
EXPLANATION

Copper loss (I²R loss) occurs in both primary and secondary windings. Core losses occur only in the magnetic core.

Test
In a DC generator, the commutator serves the purpose of:
A Reducing eddy currents
B Converting AC induced EMF to DC
C Increasing the magnetic field
D Cooling the machine
Correct Answer:  B. Converting AC induced EMF to DC
EXPLANATION

The commutator rectifies the alternating EMF induced in the armature coils to produce unidirectional (DC) output.

Test
In a transformer, the core loss is independent of which parameter?
A Frequency
B Maximum flux density
C Load current
D Magnetic material used
Correct Answer:  C. Load current
EXPLANATION

Core loss depends on frequency and flux density but is independent of load current. It remains constant at rated voltage.

Test
Which of the following is NOT a type of DC machine?
A DC Generator
B DC Motor
C Universal Motor
D Induction Machine
Correct Answer:  D. Induction Machine
EXPLANATION

Induction machines are AC machines, not DC machines. DC machines include generators and motors.

Test
A 3-phase induction motor has 4 poles and is connected to a 50 Hz supply. What is the synchronous speed?
A 1500 rpm
B 1000 rpm
C 3000 rpm
D 750 rpm
Correct Answer:  A. 1500 rpm
EXPLANATION

Synchronous speed Ns = 120f/P = 120×50/4 = 1500 rpm
