Q: Which of the following is the primary function of a transformer?

To change the voltage level of an AC supply — Transformers alter voltage levels based on the turns ratio of their windings.

Q: In a DC motor, what component provides the mechanical energy for rotation?

Armature — The armature interacts with the magnetic field to produce torque.

Q: What is the purpose of the commutator in a DC machine?

To reverse the current direction in the armature conductors — The commutator reverses armature current for continuous torque production.

Q: What is the slip in an induction motor?

The difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed — Slip represents the speed difference required for induction.

Q: What is the function of the stator in a three-phase induction motor?

To provide the magnetic field — The stator windings, supplied with AC, create the rotating magnetic field.

Q: Which type of losses is NOT present in a transformer?

Mechanical losses — Transformers don't have rotating parts; thus, no mechanical losses.

Q: In a synchronous generator, what determines the generated voltage frequency?

The number of poles and the rotor speed — Frequency depends on pole pairs and rotor speed (f=P*N/120).

Q: What is the purpose of the damper windings in a synchronous motor?

To reduce hunting during transient conditions — Damper windings provide damping to oscillations and improve stability.

Q: What is the main advantage of a synchronous motor compared to an induction motor?

Ability to operate at leading power factor — Synchronous motors can be overexcited to provide leading PF correction.

Q: Which material is commonly used for the core of a transformer?

Silicon steel — Silicon steel reduces core losses due to its magnetic properties.
