1. Which transform is more popular in electrical engineering? Fourier transform or Z transforms? A: Fourier Transform

2. In which case the ohms law is not applicable? A: In the case of semiconductor. 3. What is the relation between the current and voltage? A: According to Ohm's Law, Directly proportional. 4. Name three theorems used to simplify the circuit? A: Thevenin theorem, Nortons theorem and Millman theorem. 5. For what purpose is the Gauss theorem used? A: Gauss theorem is used to calculate the net electric field as well as potential. 6. Suppose two resistances are connected in parallel how will the voltage be distributed? A: Both the resistance will have the same voltage. 7. What is Thevenin resistance? A: The net resistance calculated in case of the Thevenin circuit is called the Thevenin resistance. 8. What is mutual induction? A: When current flows through two wires parallel to each other, then the magnetic field of one wire leads to the magnetic field in the other wire. This is called mutual induction. 9. What is earthing? A: The earth acts as a very big capacitor. Hence apart from the live wire and the neutral wire the earth wire is also included. This prevents the electrical appliances from getting damaged. Actually the earth soaks all the dissipated current and hence prevents us from electric shock. 10. What is 100% protection of generator? Why 100% is not used but 95% is generally used? A: Generators are basically synchronizing machine if a fault occurs, they fall out of synchronization. but if the fault is temporary or for a very small duration micro seconds or seconds then the generator may again achieve synchronization without permanent interruption of supply. This is the reason why the 95% protection is provided instead of 100% protection. 11. Draw the phasor diagram of alternator at lagging pf? A: You can find it in Machines Text Book.. 12. What is stiffness factor? A: Stiffness factor is the ratio of the moment of inertia of the cross section of a rod or a beam or a wire to its length. 13. How the stiffness dependent on load angle?

14. What is V curve of alternator? A: This also you can find in books.. 15. What is the largest value of the trans. line you have heard in INDIA? Where is it?
