Solution of Objective Question and Hint: Increases

The document provides solutions and explanations for 10 objective questions about DC motors and generators. 1) If the field current decreases in a shunt DC motor, the speed will increase. This is because decreasing field current decreases the flux and speed is inversely proportional to flux. 2) Thin laminations are used in machines to reduce eddy current losses by minimizing the area of eddy current loops. 3) A commutator is used in a DC generator to convert the AC armature current into DC current for use.

Solution of Objective Question and Hint

01․ If field current is decreased in shunt dc motor, the speed of the motor
remains same.
increases.
decreases.
none of the above.

As a shunt field current If decreases, φ also decreases and the speed rises as speed
is inversely proportional to flux.

Q 2 What is the mechanical power developed by a DC series motor is maximum?


Back emf is equal to half the applied voltage.
Back emf is equal to applied voltage.
Back emf is equal to zero.
None of above.

Q 3 Eddy current loss will depends on


Frequency
Flux density
Thickness
All of the above
. So eddy current loss will depend upon frequency,
flux density and the area of the eddy current loop.

Q 4 Thin laminations are used in a machine in order to reduce


Eddy current losses
Hysteresis losses
Both 1 and 2
Copper losses

Thin laminations are used in order to reduce the eddy current losses only. Due to
laminations the area of the eddy currents loops are minimized and the losses due
to eddy current losses are minimized.

Q 5 The emf induced in the dc generator armature winding is


AC
DC
AC and DC
None of the above

The emf induced in the dc generator armature winding is AC, but we need DC
current from DC generator, so to convert this AC current to DC current
mechanical rectifier called as commutator is used.

Q 6 Commutator in DC generator is used for


collecting of current
reduce losses
increase efficiency
convert AC armature current in to DC
Commutator is used as mechanical rectifier in DC machines. It converts AC
armature current in to DC current.

Q 7 A DC generator without commutator is a


AC generator
DC motor
DC generator
induction motor

Commutator is used to convert AC current into DC current. If commutator is not


present, then it will acts as an AC generator with huge losses.

Q 8 In DC machine yoke offers


mechanical protection to the machine
flux path completion
produce working flux
both A and B

In case of DC machines yoke is used to


1. Mechanical protection to the machine
2. Flux path completion.

Q 9 In DC generators brushes are used for


collecting of current without any sparkings
collecting of voltage
reduce eddy current loss
convert ac armature current in to dc
In case of DC generator the brushes need to collect current with minimum
sparking, which is known as successful commutation.

Q 10 In DC machine torque depends on which of the following?


flux (φ)
armature current (I)
both A and B
speed
