MODULE-5

1. An alternator is said to be over excited when it is operating at:

Unity power factor

Leading power factor

Lagging power factor

Lagging to leading power factor

Correct Answer : c

Explanation : "An alternator is considered overexcited when the back emf voltage
has a greater magnitude than the terminal voltage. Over excitation is characterized
by positive reactive power flow out of the generator terminals. The excitation is
controlled by the current flowing in the field winding. As the excitation is increased,
the armature current will have a phase angle that increases in the lagging direction.

2. A synchronous motor is said to be over excited when it is operating at:

Unity power factor

Leading power factor

Lagging power factor

Lagging to leading power factor

Correct Answer : b

Explanation : If DC field excitation of a synchronous motor is such that back EMF Eb

is greater than applied voltage V, then the motor is said to be over-excited. An over-
excited synchronous motor draws leading current. Therefore, if the field of the
synchronous motor is overexcited then its power factor will be leading.

3. A micro antenna is:

Integrated antenna

Long Antenna

Short Antenna
 Medium Antenna
Correct Answer : a Explanation : An micro antenna is an
antennas for a variety of services to be integrated into one single module. Hence it
is an integrated antenna

4. What is primary use for fast track scheduling:

To decrease the cost of construction

To decrease the cost of professional services

To avoid future cost increase

To guarantee project cost prior to the start of building

Correct Answer : d

Explanation : Fast-tracking is a technique where activities that would have been

performed sequentially using the original schedule are performed in parallel. In
other words, fast tracking a project means the activities are worked on
simultaneously instead of waiting for each piece to be completed separately. Hence
it guarantee project cost prior to the start of building

5. The direction of the force acting on a moving charge place in a magnetic

field is:

Explanation

6. The unit of conductance is:

ohm

ohm/m

mho/m

mho
Correct Answer : d

Explanation : Conductance is the inverse of resistance (Ohm) so the inverse unit is

mho

7. For the circuit shown phase shift of the transfer function V/Vo at very high
frequencies is:

90°

0°
 80°

180°
Correct Answer : a

Explanation : At high frequency, the value of Capacitance reactance Xc is very low

and has very low impact and the inductive reactance is very high (Directly
proportional to Frequency) it produces a phase shift of only 90°

8. The wire placed on the top of a transmission line is a:

Phase wire

Neutral wire

Transmission wire

Ground wire
Correct Answer : d

Explanation : "Top of the cable is ground wire rest and other (1 or 3 lines) are phase
cables. It is just for the protection from lighting strikes. They serve to shield the line
and intercept lighting stroke before it hits the current carrying conductors below.
That's why they are often made of steel. "

Planning of Project

None
Correct Answer : a

Explanation : "Fast-tracking is a technique where activities that would have been

performed sequentially using the original schedule are performed in parallel. In
other words, fast tracking a project means the activities are worked on

14. The condition for successful parallel operation of transformer is:

Correct polarity

Per unit impedance based on their rating should be equal

Identical voltage and frequency rating

 All of these
Correct Answer : d

Explanation : The convenient are same voltage ratio and turns ratio, same
percentage impedance, same KVA rating, and same position of tap changer. The
mandatory conditions are same phase angle shift, same polarity, same phase
sequence and same frequency.

15. The output of a NOR gate is HIGH if ____________.

all inputs are HIGH

any input is HIGH

any input is LOW

all inputs are LOW

Correct Answer : d

Explanation :

16. Digital telecommunication equipment provides connection oriented

AND/OR connection less service, connection-oriented service is provided by:

ATM

ETHERNET

FDDI

SMDS
Correct Answer : a

Explanation : ATM has made possible the efficient transmission of multimedia

information like voice and video. ATM, however, is connection oriented in nature.
Transmission occurs on virtual channels established prior to transmission. In order
to accommodate the internetworking of more traditional connectionless LANs and
MANs across public wide area networks like B-ISDN, a means by which
connectionless service can be provided on top of connection oriented technologies
must be devised

17. Commercial AM Modulation technique is:

DSB-SC

DSB-LC

QAM

SVAM
Correct Answer : a

Explanation : "Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC) is

transmission in which frequencies produced by amplitude modulation (AM) are
symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier frequency and the carrier level is
reduced to the lowest practical level, ideally being completely suppressed. "

18. For last switching of an NMOS R-pull up inverter (W/L) should be:

Large

Small

Equal to the drain current

Equal to the power dissipated during switching

Correct Answer : c

Explanation : Pull up means getting close VDD. So PMOS has VDD as source,
naturally when input is zero drain (Equal to drain current) would be pulled up. When
output at zero PMOS turns on, it will be pulled high.

is a type of continuous control system in which the output has no influence or effect
on the control action of the input signal. In other words, in an open-loop control
system the output is neither measured nor “fed back” for comparison with the
input.
