10 questions × 2 marks each
This section covers fundamental definitions and basic concepts, including:
Form factor & peak factor
Kirchhoff’s Laws
EMF & power factor
Superposition theorem
Commutator function
Transformer kVA rating
Slip, synchronous speed
No-load phasor diagram of transformer
SECTION B — Short/Descriptive Questions (30 Marks)
Attempt any 3 out of 5 (10 marks each)
Questions include derivations, explanations and numerical problems on:
Transformer EMF equation & efficiency condition
DC motor parts and EMF generation calculation
Thevenin’s theorem, Nodal analysis
Superposition theorem numerical solution
SECTION C — Long Numerical/Analytical Questions (50 Marks)
