Φ represents flux per pole
Z represents the total number of conductors
P represents the number of poles
A represents the number of parallel paths
N represents speed in rpm.

One turn is equal to two conductors. In wave winding the number of parallel paths is equal to two.

Eb=.021×42×74×2×3840÷60×2=4177.152 V.

B. 1 W
C. 0 W
D. .5 W

Answer: C

The inductor is a linear element. It only absorbs reactive power and stores it in the form of oscillating energy.

P = VIcos90 = 0 W.

Voltage leads the current in the case of the inductor.

D. 1.5 W

Answer: B

The capacitor is a linear element. It only absorbs reactive power and stores it in the form of oscillating energy. The voltage and current are 90° in phase in the case of the capacitor so the angle between V & I is 90°.
