SSC JE 2014 Electrical question paper with solution(Morning-Shift)

Ques 81. A capacitor with no initial charge at t =∞ acts:

  1. Open-circuit
  2. Voltage Source
  3. Current Source
  4. Short circuits

Let us assume the capacitor was initially uncharged with the switch opened.

solution 81

After the switch is closed, the battery begins to charge the plates of the capacitor and the charge passes through a resistor. As the capacitor is being charged, the circuit carries a changing current. The charging process continues until the capacitor is charged to its maximum equilibrium value, Q = CV, where V is the maximum voltage across the capacitor Once the capacitor is fully charged, the current in the circuit is zero.

The current approaches 0 at t = ∞ because there is no voltage drop across the resistor and voltage drop across the capacitor is equal to the battery voltage. Hence at t = ∞ the capacitor acts as an open circuit.

  1. Informal notice
  2. Danger Notice
  3. Caution Notice
  4. Advisory Notice

Danger 440V” plates are caution notice.

 

Ques 83. Find R3 for the circuit shown in the figure:

Numerical 83

  1. 25 MΩ
  2. 25 Milli ohm
  3. 25 Ohm
  4. 25 Kilo ohm

For the given circuit, the value of current passing through R3 = (50 -10) =40 mA

R2 And R3 are in parallel, therefore, voltage across them will be same

R3 x 40 x 10-3 = R2 x 10 x 10-3

R3 = (100 x 103 x10 x 10-3)/(40 x 10-3)

25 x 103 = 25 kΩ

 

Ques 84.  The purpose of choke in a fluorescent tube is to

  1. Increase Voltage momentarily
  2. Decrease current
  3. Increase current
  4. Decrease Voltage momentarily

There are mainly two functions of the choke coil

  1.  Limit the current.
  2. Produce high voltage across tube light.

Limit the current

  • In a gas discharge, such as a fluorescent lamp, current causes resistance to decrease. This is because as more electrons and ions flow through a particular area, they bump into more atoms, which frees up electrons, creating more charged particles.
  • In this way, the current will climb on its own in a gas discharge, as long as there is adequate voltage (and household AC current has a lot of voltage).
  • If the current in a fluorescent light isn’t controlled, it can blow out the various electrical components.

Produces High voltage Across Tubelight

  • Choke is nothing but the coil/ballast ( inductor) which is used to induce the high voltage across it. as we know that inductor has the property to induce high voltage for a brief period of time, this high voltage is required to ionize the gases in the starter.

 

Ques 85. A 3-phase 4 pole induction motor works on 3-phase 50 Hz supply. If the slip of the motor is 4%. The actual speed will be

  1. 720 RPM
  2. 1550 RPM
  3. 1460 RPM
  4. 1440 RPM

synchronous speed

Ns =120f/P = 120 x 50/4 = 1500 RPM

% S = (Ns – Nr) x 100/Ns

4 =(1500 – Nr) x100/1500

60 = 1500 – Nr

Nr = 1500 – 60 = 1440 RPM

 

Ques 86. As per IE rules, the permissible variation voltage at the consumer end is

  1. ± 6%
  2. ± 10%
  3. ± 12%
  4. ± 2%

According to Indian Electricity Rules, the permissible voltage drop from the supply terminal to any point on the wiring system should not exceed ±6% volt of the nominal supply voltage

 

Ques 87. In which of the single-phase motor the rotor has no teeth or winding?

  1. Universal motor
  2. Split phase Motor
  3. Reluctance Motor
  4. Hysteresis motor

Hysteresis motor doesn’t have teeth or winding, therefore, these motor are free from mechanical vibration

 

Ques 88. Two DC series motors connected in series draw current I from supply and run at speed N. When the same two motors are connected in parallel taking current I from the supply, the speed of each motor will be

  1. N/2
  2. N
  3. 2N
  4. 4N

In case of series.

When motors are connected in series and are in running position, Speed ∝ (voltage) ∝(V/2) (i) (Since the voltage across each motor = V/2 ) and current is Ia.

Ns ∝ V/2I

In case of parallel

When the motor is connected in parallel and are in running position, Speed ∝ (voltage) (V). (Since voltage across each motor = V ) and current is Ia/2

Np ∝ 2V/I

From both the equation

Ns/Np = V/2I/2V/I

N parallel = 4Nsereis

 

Ques 89. Using Millman’s theorem, find the current through the load resistance RL of 3Ω resistance shown below

Numerical 89

  1. 12A
  2. 4 A
  3. 6A
  4. 8A

According to Millman’s theorem

Eeq = ∑EiYi/∑Yi

I1 = 8/3

I2 =16/3

I3 = 24/3 = 8A

Eeq = (8/3 + 16/3 + 8)/ (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3) =16 V

Zeq = 1/∑Yi

= 1/(1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3) = 1Ω

Now the circuit become

solution 90

I = 16/4 = 4 A

 

Ques 90. An ideal voltage source should have

  1. Infinite Source of resistance
  2. Large value of EMF
  3. Small Value of EMF
  4. Zero source Resistance

An ideal voltage source is a voltage source having no internal resistance.

This means there is no voltage drop inside the source, so one gets the same voltage level at the terminals of the source as produced inside the source.
