Ans: (a), because actually it will acts as Induction motor.

22. A transmission line is designed for 50Hz, 440KV. If we want to transfer power at 60Hz, 440 KV, then the power transfer capability will

(a) decrease, (b) Increase, (c)None
Ans: (a) ..as P=( |Vt| |Ef| sin (delta) ) / X, where (delta) is torque angle.

23. Increased rotor resistance in rotor ckt of induction motor is related with

(a) high starting torque, (b) more speed variation,
Ans: (a)

24. In the formulae E = 4.44 f N ?, ? is

(a) Avg value, (b) Rms value, (c) Maximum value

Ans: (a)

25. Voltage & current in a ckt is given by V= V1+j V2 and I= I1 +j I2, then rms power is (refer book by Edministrator on NETWORK ..)

26. Input impedence of MOSFET is

(a) more than BJT..(Ans)

27.18. Remember truth table of AND, NOR, NAND, OR, EX-OR ETC

28. Conversion of Binary number into Equivalent decimal No.
