Multiple choice questions on dc generator # 16

                         Hi friends, these are objectives on electrical engineering emphasis on dc generator check out and comment if you have any doubts......

objectives on electrical engineering 16



1) The residual magnetism of a dc shunt generator can be regained by

Ans:A

2) If field of one of the two generators operating in parallel is made very weak, then it will
A) not taken any load
B) take major share of load
C) operate as a motor and run in the same direction
