SSC JE Magnetic-Circuit Solved Questions (2018-2009)

Ques 111. Following graph shows the loss characteristics of a sheet of ferromagnetic material against varying frequency f. Pi is the iron loss at frequency f, Hysteresis and eddy current losses of the sheet at 100 Hz are (SSC-2012)

numerical 91 1

  1. 10 W, 100 W
  2. 10 W, 50 W
  3. 1 W, 5 W
  4. 1 W, 10 W

Answer.4. 1 W, 10 W

Explanation:-

Iron loss is given as

Pi = Pe + Ph

Pi = Kef2 + Khf

Pi/f = Kef + Kh

where Kh = 0.01

Ke = 0.001

Ph = Khf = 0.01 x 100 = 1W

Pe = Kef2 = 0.001 x (100)2 = 10W.

 

Ques 112. Hysteresis losses are present in iron core coil when (SSC-2011)

  1. The current in the coil is sinusoidal only
  2. The current in the coil is alternating
  3. The current is unsymmetrical alternation only
  4. The  current in the coil is DC only

Answer.2. The current in the coil is alternating

Explanation:-

Hysteresis losses are also known as Iron Loss or Core Loss and it is always constant.

Hysteresis loss is due to the reversal of magnetization of the transformer core whenever it is subjected to alternating nature of magnetizing force. Whenever the core is subjected to an alternating magnetic field, the domain present in the material will change their orientation after every half cycle. The power consumed by the magnetic domains for changing the orientation after every half cycle is called Hysteresis loss.

 

Ques 113. Eddy current loss in the ferromagnetic core is proportional to (SSC-2011)

  1. Square of frequency
  2. The square root of frequency
  3. Frequency
  4. Reciprocal of the frequency

Answer.1. Square of frequency

Explanation:-

Eddy current is given by

Pe = f2B2max

∴ Eddy current losses are directly proportional to the square of the frequency.

 

Ques 114. Two inductors have self-inductances of 9 mH and 25 mH. The mutual inductance between the two is 12 mH. The coefficient of inductive coupling between the two inductors is (SSC-2011)

  1. 18.75
  2. 0.25
  3. 0.8
  4. 1.25

Answer.3. 0.8

Explanation:-

Mutual inductance

21

 

Ques 115. The magnetic materials that are used to prepare permanent magnets should have (SSC-2011)

  1. The steeply rising magnetization curve
  2. Small hysteresis loop
  3. Highly retentivity
  4. Low coercive force

Answer.3. Highly retentivity

Explanation:-

Properties of the material of a permanent magnet :

(1) It should have high retentivity so that it remains magnetized in the absence of the magnetizing field.

(2) It should have a high saturation magnetization.

(3) It should have high coercivity so that it does not get demagnetized easily.

 

Ques 116. The resonant frequency of the AC series circuit shown in the figure given below, in Hz is (SSC-2011)

Numerical 4

  1. 1/4π√3
  2. 1/4π√2
  3. 1/4π
  4. 1/4π√10

Answer.3. 1/4π

Explanation:-

When the coils are joined in series with additive flux the equivalent inductance is

Leq = L1 + L2 – 2M = 2 + 2 – 2 x 1 = 2H

The resonant frequency of the AC series circuit in Herz is given as

F = 1/2π√LC

Where L = 2H & C = 2F

F = 1/2π√LC =  1/2π√4

= 1/4π

 

Ques 117. Permeance is analogous to (SSC-2010)

  1.  Conductance
  2.  Reluctance
  3.  Inductance
  4.  Resistance

Answer.1. Conductance

Explanation:-

In a magnetic circuit, permeance is a measure of the quantity of magnetic flux for a number of current-turns. A magnetic circuit almost acts as though the flux is ‘conducted’, therefore permeance is larger for large cross-sections of a material and smaller for longer lengths. This concept is analogous to electrical conductance in the electric circuit.

 

Ques 118. Which of the following will improve the mutual coupling between primary and secondary circuits? (SSC-2009)

  1.  Transformer oil of high break down voltage
  2.  High reluctance magnetic core
  3.  Winding material of high resistivity
  4.  Low reluctance magnetic core

Answer.4. Low reluctance magnetic core

Explanation:-

  • Magnetic reluctance, or magnetic resistance, is a concept used in the analysis of magnetic circuits. It is analogous to resistance in an electrical circuit, but rather than dissipating electric energy it stores magnetic energy.
  • Low the reluctance, less the opposition to flux therefore more flux can pass through the transformer core.
  • Therefore the transformer core is made magnetic steel that has high permeability (low reluctance) to the magnetic flux.

 

Ques 119. Two coupled coils with L1 = L2 = 0.6H have the coupling coefficient of K = 0.8. The turn ratio N1/N2 is (SSC-2009)

  1. 4
  2. 2
  3. 1
  4. 0.5

Answer.3. 1

Explanation:-

The self-inductance is given as

L = μN2A/I

L ∝ N2

where

N is the number of turns of the solenoid

A is the area of each turn of the coil

l is the length of the solenoid

and μ is the permeability constant

L1/L2 = N21/N22

0.6/0.6 = N21/N22

N1/N2 = 1

 

Ques 120. Which among the following magnetic materials has the highest energy-product to make it a permanent magnet? (SSC-2009)

  1. Alnico
  2. Ferrite
  3. Samarium cobalt
  4. Cobalt – Iron alloy

Answer.1. Alnico

Explanation:-

The material which we choose for making magnet should have high coercivity. The high coercivity ensures that magnetism in the material stays for a longer time. As steel and alnico have high coercivity, therefore, they are used for making permanent magnets.
