Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

Potentiometers are used as a

  • variable voltage source.
  • variable resistor.
  • variable current source.
chevychase asking:

Potentiometers are used as voltage dividers are the not? they have 3 connections, surely a rheostat would be a better variable resistor?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

The 5th coloured band on a resistor represents the

  • reliability or temperature coefficient.
  • tolerance.
  • multiplier.
Hana asking:

Isn't it the tolerance in coloured band is represent in the 4th band?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

Potentiometers are used as a

  • variable voltage source.
  • variable resistor.
  • variable current source.
Hana asking:

Isn't it potentiometer relates to variable voltage source?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

What happens to the current in a series resistive resonant circuit?

  • It is maximum.
  • It is minimum.
  • It is zero.
Hana asking:

Isn't it that at resonant, we have high impedance hence we should have minimum current flow?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

How many amperes will a 28-volt generator be required to supply to a circuit containing five lamps in parallel, three of which have a resistance of 6 ohms each and two of which have a resistance of 5 ohms each?

  • 1 ampere.
  • 25.23 amperes.
  • 1.11 amperes.
Edigno_92 asking:

resistance, then use ohms law (I=V/R) to find the total current. It is a tricky calculation to do without a calculator, so round the total resistance up (to 1 ohms) then choose the nearest answer for I.

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

What is the current in the circuit with a resistance of 8 ohms, inductive reactance of 12 ohms, capacitive reactance of 18 ohms with 20 volts applied across it?

  • 10 amps.
  • 1 amp.
  • 2 amps.
kufu asking:

Can anyone explain me this one...?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

The 5th coloured band on a resistor represents the

  • reliability or temperature coefficient.
  • tolerance.
  • multiplier.
MridulDev asking:

then what is 4th colored band for????

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

In the circuit shown, the power developed across the 10 kilo ohm resistor is

Diagram for question: In the circuit shown, the power developed across the 10 kilo ohm resistor is
  • 250 mW.
  • 250 W.
  • 50 mW.
niket8989 asking:

Please Explain 250mW as answer

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

A transformer has 1200 turns primary and 4800 turns secondary. What value of load resistance would be required to give a reflected impedance of 1000 ohms?

  • 4 kOhm.
  • 1 kOhm.
  • 16 kOhm.
Benny asking:

How to do it?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

The circuit shown is at resonance. If the value of the inductance is trebled, the impedance will

Diagram for question: The circuit shown is at resonance. If the value of the inductance is trebled, the impedance will
  • stay the same.
  • treble.
  • reduce by one-third.
roja90 asking:

parallel circuit dynamic impedance Z=L/CR. so inductance trebled impedance also treble.
is it correct ?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

A paramagnetic material has a relative permeability of

  • zero.
  • less than unity.
  • greater than unity.
Yappie asking:

why?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

Reactive sparking is reduced by

  • interpoles.
  • compensating windings.
  • auxiliary windings.
iskandarazli asking:

why interpoles?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

If the cross-sectional area of a conductor is doubled, with voltage constant, the current will

  • remain constant.
  • double.
  • halve.
iskandarazli asking:

anybody can help me explain about this?

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

  • 0 volts.
  • 7.36 volts.
  • 12.64 volts.
roja90 asking:

how to do this question ?
after one time constant voltage is 32.8%?//

Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

The SI unit of work is the
