Ans:A

3) Due to magnetic saturation, the flux per pole in a dc machine without brush shift
A) increases in both the generators and the motors with load.
B) decreases in both the generators and the motors with load.
C)  increases in generators but decreases in motors with load.
D)  decreases in generators but increases in motors with load.

Ans:B

4) In a dc machine, on no load the magnetic neutral axis

B) moves from geometrical neutral axis in the opposite direction of rotation
C) coincides with the geometrical neutral axis
D) none of the above

Ans:C

5) Pole shoe of a dc machine is laminated for the purpose of

B) compensating winding
C) high resistance carbon brushes
D) any one or more of the above methods

Ans:D

7) Under-commutation results in
A) sparking at the middle of the brush
B) sparking at the leading edge of the brush
C) sparking at the trailing edge of the brush
D) no sparking

Ans:C

B) reduce the saturation in the interpole
C) economic on the material required for interpoles and their windings

Ans:B

9) The compensating windings are placed in the slots in the pole faces to neutralize the
A) cross-magnetizing effect
B) demagnetizing effect
C) both of the demagnetizing and cross-magnetizing effects

Ans:D

10) In dc machines, the interpoles are provided
A) for mechanical balance of machines

C) to counteract the reactance voltage and the cross-magnetizing effect of armature mmf in the                commutating zone    
D) to make commutation sparkless
E) both (C) and (D)
