View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: dPi/dδ = EVcos(δ-α)=0
δ = 90+α= 2α+θ=180-θ.
Answer: a
Explanation: δ = 90+α= 2α+θ=180-θ
So δ = 180-60=120°.

Answer: a
Explanation: Initially let the energy utilized was 100% for
time t.Then for 50% duration for series, energy used is
50%. For parallel operation for the same circuit, the
resistance gets halved assuming the same machine. So, for
50% of the parallel operation, 25% of energy is only utilized.
