multiple choice questions on synchronous machines # 1

                              Hi friends, this post is about objectives of synchronous machine. Mcq's on synchronous machines which are asked recently in various competitive exams like Gate , Upsc exams and so on. check out and comment if you have any doubts regarding this bits..

objectives on synchronous machines

1) Alternator operates on the principle of
A) electromagnetic induction
B) self induction
C) mutual induction
D) self or mutual induction

Ans:A

2) In a synchronous machine, if the field flux axis is ahead of the armature field axis in the direction of rotation, the machine operating is
A) synchronous motor
B) synchronous generator
C) asynchronous motor
D) asynchronous generator

Ans:B

3) The armature of an alternator
A) is a stationary member
B) is a revolving member
C) is the frame
D) consists of the winding into which current is induced

Ans:D

4) In modern alternators, the rotating part is
A) field system
B) armature
C) armature as well as field system
D) none of the above

Ans:A

5) The current from the stator of an alternator is taken out to the external load circuit through

B) commutator segments
C) solid connections
D) carbon brushes

Ans:C

6) Which of the following is the primary reason for placing field on rotor in an alternator?
A) Small power in the field circuit
B) Insulation of high voltage is made easy on stator than on rotor
