Time taken by an alternating quantity to complete the
(-)ve half.
Time taken by an alternating quantity to reach the peak
value.

We know that the magnitude of the alternating quantity

varies continuously from the starting point of the positive

required time to complete this one full cycle is called as time
period T.
08) What is called the frequency in AC operation?

No. of cycles made per second.
No. of (-)ve quadrature made per second.

T = 1 / frequency.
T = 0.5 / frequency.
T = 0.85 / frequency.

Average of all values of an alternating quantity.

Average of all values of the phase sequences.
Average of all values of the (+)ve and (-)ve half.
Average of all values of an alternating quantity over a
complete cycle.
The average value of an alternating quantity is the average of
all the instantaneous values during one alternation. Since the
alternating quantity increases from zero to peak value and
decreases peak value to zero during one alternation. So, the
average value must be some value between those two limits.
We can determine the average value of an alternating
quantity by adding together a series of instantaneous values
of the alternation from 0 to 180 and then dividing the sum
by the number of instantaneous values used. That
computation would show that one alternation of a sine wave
has an average value equal to 0.636 times the peak value.

Average value / R.M.S. value.
Average value / Peak value.
Instantaneous value / Average value.

the ratio of the rms (root mean square) value to the average
value. Here the average value is the mathematical mean of
absolute values of all points on the waveform.
02) Select the wave that has the least value of form factor.

Square wave.
Rectangular wave.
Triangular wave.
Sine wave.
In square wave, the rms value and average value are same
(whatever peak magnitude presents in that square wave).
So, the form factor is equal to 1. But, in other kind of
waveforms (for example, sine, triangle, rectangle, etc), the
average value is less than the rms value. So, the value of
form factor is greater than one. Hence, as compared to other
waveforms, square wave has least value of form factor.

Product of voltage and current at no load.

Product of voltage and current at full load.
In an AC circuit, the product of rms voltage and rms current

resistance, the apparent power is same as the real power.
But, when the reactance is added, then the apparent power
is greater than the real power.
05) What is the real power in AC operation?
VIcos.
Apperant power cos.
Both option A & B.
None of these.
We know that the product of the voltage and current is called
apparent power and the product of the voltage, current and
power factor is called as the real power. Hence, the real
power is equal to the product of the apparent power and the
power factor.
06) What is called the instantaneous value of an alternating
current?
The value of alternating quantity at any instant.
The value of peak quantity at any instant.
The value of peak current at any instant.
The value of alternating frequency at any instant.

The instantaneous value of an alternating current is the value

of current at one particular instant. The value may be zero if
the particular instant is the time in the cycle at which the
polarity of the current is changing. It may also be the same
as the peak value, if the selected instant is the time in the
cycle at which the current stops increasing and starts
decreasing. There are actually an infinite number of
instantaneous values between zero and the peak value.
07) What is called a cycle in case of AC operation ?
When ac completes the (+)ve half, is called a cycle.
When ac goes through a complete (+)ve to (-)ve, is
called a cycle.
When an alternating quantity completes the ()ve cycle,
is called a cycle.
Option A and C both.
The alternating current changes its magnitude from one
instant to another instant continuously with respect to the
time interval. Basically the cycle in an alternating current is
known as the path of the one half of the positive magnitude
and one half of the negative magnitude that starts from the
starting point and ends on the ending point.

reactive power consumption of an inductive load by
generating the apparent power (or) capacitive power. We
know that the unit of the apparent power is KVAR. So, the
power factor capacitors are also rated in terms of KVAR
rating.

A continuous current in a current carrying coil is divided into
multiple current elements. Using the superposition principle
and the Biot-Savarts law, each discrete element generates its
own magnetic field and when it is integrated with each field
that produces a resultant field and it is aligned parallel to the
axis of the coil.

When two current carrying conductors are placed parallelly,
there will be a force acting between them. The force is
attractive if direction of currents in the conductor is same and
it is repulsive if the direction of the currents is opposite. This
can easily be explained by right hand rule.
