A uniformly-loaded D.C. distributor is fed at both ends with equal voltages. As compared to a similar distributor fed at one end only, the drop at the middle point is

Right Answer is:

One-fourth

SOLUTION

  • When distributed is fed at one end only, the voltage drop at the middle point is =IR/2.
  • When distributed is fed at both ends with equal voltages, the voltage drop at the middle point is = IR/8.
  • Where I is the current fed to the distributor R is the total resistance of the distributor.
  • Therefore, a uniformly loaded DC distributor is fed at both ends with equal voltages the drop at the middle point is one fourth as compared to a similar distributor fed at one end only.
