šŸ”„ MOST REPEATED

Most Repeated 2 Mark Questions

Curated from Previous Year Question Papers

1

Mention the ways of producing induced emf.

Answer

The ways of producing induced emf are:

1
By changing the magnetic field B.
2
By changing the area A of the coil.
3
By changing the relative orientation Īø of the coil with the magnetic field.
2

State Fleming’s right hand rule.

Answer

The thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand are stretched out in mutually perpendicular directions.

If the index finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb indicates the direction of motion of the conductor, then the middle finger indicates the direction of the induced current.

3

State Lenz’s law.

Answer

Lenz’s law states that the direction of the induced current is such that it always opposes the cause responsible for its production .

Induced EMF
ε = āˆ’ d(NΦB) dt
4

Define Q-factor.

Answer

It is defined as the ratio of voltage across L or C at resonance to the applied voltage .

Q-Factor
Q-factor = Voltage across L or C at resonance Applied voltage
5

What are the advantages and disadvantages of AC over DC?

Answer

Advantages:

1
The generation of AC is cheaper than that of DC.
2
When AC is supplied at higher voltages, the transmission losses are small compared to DC transmission.
3
AC can easily be converted into DC with the help of rectifiers.

Disadvantage:

1
Alternating voltages cannot be used for certain applications such as charging of batteries, electroplating, electric traction , etc.
2
At high voltages, it is more dangerous to work with AC than DC .
6

What is meant by wattless current?

Answer

The current in an AC circuit is said to be wattless current if the power consumed by it is zero .

7

Define RMS value of an alternating current.

Answer

The root mean square value of an alternating current is defined as the square root of the mean of the squares of all currents over one cycle .

It is denoted by IRMS. For alternating voltages, the RMS value is given by VRMS.

RMS Value
IRMS = √ Area of one cycle
of squared wave
Base length of one cycle
