In an electric generator ,split rings are used for 

  1. Converting DC to AC

  2. Converting AC to DC

  3. Reducing power consumption

  4. To split the current


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Answer is B.

The electric generator is devised to convert mechanical power into electrical power. Permanent magnet (PM) current converts into electrical energy through the interaction of two magnetic fields. One field is produced by a permanent magnet assembly, the other field is produced by an electrical current flowing in the rectangular coil ABCD, through the brushes and split-ring commutators. These two fields result in a torque which tends to rotate the coil. As the coil turns, the current in the winding is commutated to produce a continuous torque output. 
The split ring commutator is made from 2 pieces of copper that are held apart in the center from touching each other. They look like a copper ring split in the middle. The effect of using split rings in a electric generator is that the direction of the current flowing in the coil is reversed and DC current is generated.

In an AC generator, the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil is maximum when the angle between the plane of the coil and the lines of force is

  1. $0^0$

  2. $60^0$

  3. $30^0$

  4. $90^0$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In an AC generator,  Magnetic flux $= NAB\sin\phi$

And, the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil $(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}\phi }{\mathrm{d} t})$ $= NAB\omega\cos\phi$
So, the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil is maximum when  $NAB\omega\cos\phi$ is maximum
$\Rightarrow \cos\phi$ is maximum
$\Rightarrow \cos\phi = 1$
$\Rightarrow \phi = 0^0$
Therefore, A is correct option.

  2. When a conductor is moved in a magnetic field then current is induced in the conductor.

  3. both

  4. none


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Principle behind the working of electric generator When a conductor is moved in a magnetic field then current is induced in the conductor.
When a conductor moves in a magnetic field, an emf is induced across the conductor. This is the only basis on which each and every rotating electric generator works. Let us discuss the matter in a little bit details so that we can easily understand how does an electrical generator actually work. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, when a conductor links with a changing flux, it will have an induced emf across it. The value of induced emf across the conductor depends on the rate of change of flux linkage with the conductor. 

Mark the incorrect statement related to construction and working of a generator

  1. a rectangular coil which is placed between two strong horse-shoe magnets.

  2. the direction of current is given according to the Flemings left hand rule.

  3. current produced by the generator is also called as alternating current.

  4. none

When the plane of the rectangular coil is parallel to the direction of the magnetic field in a dynamo, then

  1. Induced current will be zero.

  2. Induced current is maximum.

  3. AC is produced.

  4. DC is produced.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When the plane of the rectangular coil is parallel to the magnetic field, angle between the magnetic field and the area vector of coil  $\theta = 90^o$
Flux passing though the coil  $\phi = BA \ \cos\theta = BA \ \cos90^o = 0$
Thus no emf is induced in the coil and induced current is zero.

Carbon brushes are not necessary in a dynamo, if the coil remains stationary and the magnet moves, because

  1. Current is drawn from a stationary source

  2. Current is drawn from a moving source

  3. Direct current is produced

  4. It is not necessary to reverse the direction of the current.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Carbon brushes are not necessary in a dynamo, if the coil remains stationary and the magnet moves, because It is not necessary to reverse the direction of the current.The brushes transfer the electricity from outside the motor to the spinning winding in the center of the motor. They undergo quite a lot of friction, and after a while wear out. Carbon is used as it is a reasonable conductor, and is soft enough to wear down instead of wearing down the "comutator" - the ring the brushes press against. Brushes are designed to be replaceable in large motors because of this.

A small AC dynamo is connected to a galvanometer and gently rotated, then the needle of the galvanometer,

  1. Moves toward left.

  2. Moves towards right.

  3. Remains in the same position.

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A small AC dynamo is connected to a galvanometer and gently rotated, then the needle of the galvanometer moves towards both right and left The deflection of the needle of a galvanometer indicates a current flowing through the small stator winding (wound coil) inside the device. The more current flowing through the coil the greater the magnetic disturbance 

A domestic electrical appliance requires alternating current of 15 V. If 220 V of alternating current is supplied to the house, then the device that helps in the functioning of that electrical appliance is

  1. Induction coil

  2. Step-up transformer

  3. AC dynamo

  4. Step-down transformer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A step down transformer is one in which the secondary coil has lesser number of turns in secondary coil than in primary coil.  Due to this the ratio of voltages in the coils is

$\dfrac{V _s}{V _p}=\dfrac{N _s}{N _p}$ 
Hence the voltage across the secondary coil in the step down transformer is reduced.
Therefore such a transformer is used to apply a voltage of $15V$ across a device when alternating voltage of $220V$ is applied.

A coil of inductance 0.1 H is connected to an alternating voltage generator of voltage E = 100 sin (100 t) volt. The current flowing through the coil will be 

  1. $I = 10 \sqrt{2} sin (100t) A$

  2. $I = 10 \sqrt{2} cos (100t) A$

  3. $I = -10 sin (100 t)A$

  4. $I = -10 cos (100 t)A$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

L =$0.14$

E=$100sin(100t)$
$ \Rightarrow {X _L} = {w _L} = 100 \times 0.1$
$ = 10\Omega $
$\Rightarrow {i _ \circ } = \dfrac{{E \circ }}{{{X _L}}} = \dfrac{{100}}{{10}} = 10A$
$ \Rightarrow i = {i _ \circ }\sin \left( {100t - \dfrac{\pi }{2}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow i =  - {i _ \circ }\sin \left( {\dfrac{\pi }{2} - 100} \right)$
So we get
$ \Rightarrow i =  - 10\cos \left( {100t} \right)A$
therefore, option $D$ is correct.

In an a.c. generator the speed at which the coil rotates is doubled. How would this affect the frequency of output voltage ?

Correct Option: B
Explanation:
In an a.c. generator, emf produced is,

    $e=NAB(2\pi v)sin(2\pi v)t$

          where $N=$ no. of turns

                      $A=$ cross- sectional area

                      $B=$ magnetic field.

A frequency of ac, $v=\dfrac{w}{2\pi}$

                    where $w=$ is the speed of rotation

From the above, Frequency of maximum output voltage is directly proportional to speed of rotation of coil.

B. Frequency of maximum output voltage is double.

In an AC generator, maximum number of lines of force pass though the coil when the angle between the plane of coil and lines of force is :

  1. $0^{\circ}$

  2. $60^{\circ}$

  3. $30^{\circ}$

  4. $90^{\circ}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Answer is D.

The emf is actually induced by a change in the quantity called the magnetic flux rather than simply by a change in the magnetic field. Magnetic flux is proportional to both the strength of the magnetic field passing through the plane of a loop of wire and the area of the loop. The value of the magnetic flux is proportional to the total number of lines passing through the loop. When the area is perpendicular, that is, at right angles (90 degrees) to the lines, the maximum number of lines passes through the area and the flux is a maximum. When the area is parallel to the lines, no lines pass through the area and the flux is 0.
Hence, maximum number of lines of force passes though the coil when the angle between the plane of coil and lines of force is 90 degrees.

The EMF generated by Faraday's law of induction due to relative movement of a circuit and a magnetic field is the phenomenon underlying electrical generators. When a permanent magnet is moved relative to a conductor, or vice versa, an electromotive force is created. If the wire is connected through an electrical load, current will flow, and thus electrical energy is generated, converting the mechanical energy of motion to electrical energy.

A dynamo makes 100 cycles per second. The frequency of the AC is

  1. 100 Hz

  2. 200 Hz

  3. 50 Hz

  4. 400 Hz


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The frequency of AC current produced is same as the frequency of rotation of dynamo which is given 100 cycles per second that is $100Hz$.


Hence, answer-(A)

If a loop in a basic dc generator suddenly begins rotating at a faster speed, the induced voltage

  1. remains unchanged

  2. reverses polarity

  3. increases

  4. decreases


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Induced voltage in the rotating loop is given by   $\mathcal{E} = NBAw \ \sin wt$
where $N$ is the number of turns in the loop, $A$ is the area of the loop, $B$ is the magnetic field and $w$ is the angular speed of rotation of loop.
$\implies \ \mathcal{E}\propto w$
So, the induced voltage increases on increasing the speed of rotation of loop.

The device which converts the mechanical energy in to electric energy is

  1. D.C. motor

  2. A.C. dynamo

  3. Transformer

  4. Starter


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The AC dynamo (generator) is made up of stationary magnets (stator) which create a powerful magnetic field, and a rotating magnet (rotor) which distorts and cuts through the magnetic lines of flux of the stator. When the rotor cuts through lines of magnetic flux it makes electricity. Thus mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
