Answer: a
Explanation: Field winding produces the working flux and
armature winding has the working EMF, which is induced by
the working flux.

Answer: b
Explanation: The winding on the machine that carries only
load current is called armature winding.
Answer: a
Explanation: The winding that handles only exciting current
is called field winding.

Answer: b
Explanation: Field winding is always given DC supply and
hence current is also DC.
Answer: d
Explanation: The armature winding handles all the power
that is being converted or transformed.

Answer: b
Explanation: The power input to the DC field winding is
dissipated as i2R loss in the field winding (once the required
field current is established).
Answer: c
Explanation: The armature windings of both the DC and AC
machines have to deal with alternating current only; this is
the reason why the armature structure of all rotating
machines are laminated in order to reduce the eddy current
losses.
Answer: c
Explanation: In an electrical machine, armature winding is
one in which the working emf is induced by the working flux.
10. Why is the air gap between stator and rotor should be
kept as small as mechanically possible in induction motor?

Answer: d
Explanation: The leakage flux and power factor depends on
the air gap and it should be as small as possible.

Answer: a
Explanation: Large size motors use open slots, so that
already prepared and properly insulated coils can be
inserted in open slots. Small size induction motors use
semiclosed slots, so as to reduce the effective gap length
between stator and rotor.

Answer: d
Explanation: Only in wound rotor type of induction motor,
external resistance can be inserted in series with the rotor
winding, for speed and starting torque control.

Answer: d
Explanation: If the armature winding is on the stator, only
two slip rings are required which implies less losses, more
efficiency and more economy. Also, stationary armature
winding can be cooled more efficiently.
Answer: b
Explanation: The stator frame and end covers serve merely
as a mechanical support to the stator core, and are not
designed to carry the magnetic flux.

Answer: b
Explanation: The parallel connection of two coils will
increase the current per parallel path to double the value.
Answer: a
Explanation: For accommodating large number of poles, the
rotor diameter must be comparatively increased, and from
mechanical considerations, salient pole construction has
been found to suit best for low speed prime movers.
Answer: a
Explanation: f= PN/120 Hz in India and many other
countries, alternators feeding the power system generates

at a frequency of 50 Hz.
Answer: b
Explanation: Oil engines and hydraulic turbines operate
best at relatively low speeds, therefore, the alternators
driven by these prime movers must have relatively large
number of poles, as f ∝ 1/N.

Answer: a
Explanation: Steam and gas turbines have best operating
characteristics at relatively high speeds, therefore,
alternators driven by these must have a fewer number of
poles, say 2 or 4, as f ∝ 1/N.

Answer: b
Explanation: For high speed prime movers, if salient pole
construction is used, the rotor structure may not be able to
withstand the enormous centrifugal forces, developed by
the salient poles. Therefore, cylindrical rotor construction is
best suited from mechanical considerations.
Answer: d
Explanation: Cylindrical rotor synchronous generators are
used commercially at high speed, driven by steam and gas
turbines.

Answer: d
Explanation: For synchronous machines of large sizes,
adequate cooling arrangements must be incorporated to
dissipate the heat produced by various losses.
Answer: c
Explanation: f = PN/120 Hz
Answer: a
Explanation: For successful operation, the rotational
speed/frequency of the synchronous machine must
synchronize with the frequency of the energy system, and
