SOLUTION

Sol. 1 Option (B) is correct.

In the equivalent star connection, the resistance can be given as

RC = Rb Ra ; RB = Ra Rc and RA = Rb Rc
Ra + Rb + Rc Ra + Rb + Rc Ra + Rb + Rc

So, if the delta connection components Ra , Rb and Rc are scaled by a factor k

then
^k Rb h^k Rc h

ww
2
RAl = =k Rb Rc = k RA
kRa + kRb + kRc k Ra + Rb + Rc
Hence, it is also scaled by a factor k

w.E
Sol. 2 Option (A) is correct.
Given, flux density

asyBv = 4x avx + 2ky avy + 8 avz

Since, magnetic flux density is always divergence less.
i.e.,
En
d$Bv = 0
So, for given vector flux density, we have

or,
d$Bv = 4 + 2k + 0 = 0
k =- 2 gin
Sol. 3 Option (B) is correct.
eer
Consider the voltage source and load shown in figure

ing
.ne
t
We obtain the power delivered by load as
Pdelivered = I L* VL = ^10 + 150ch^10 60ch = 100 210c
= 1000 cos 210c + j1000 sin 210c
=- 866.025 - j500
As both the reactive and average power (real power) are negative so, power is
absorbed by load. i.e., load absorbs real as well as reactive power.
Sol. 4 Option (C) is correct.
For the purely resistive load, maximum average power is transferred when
2 2
RL = RTh + XTh
where RTh + jXTh is the equivalent thevinin (input) impedance of the circuit.
