(b) Moderately high
(c) As low as possible
(d) As high as possible

(a) 0.1 %
(b) 1%
(c) 12.56 %
(d) None of the above

Q6. The output signal of a common-collector amplifier always:
(a) Larger than the input signal
(b) In phase with the input signal
(c) Out of phase with the input signal
(d) Exactly equal to the input signal

SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Power factor tariffs are usually applicable to industrial consumers.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Doherty tariff is also known as three-part tariff is applicable to bulk supplies and in this tariff, charges are split into three elements namely fixed charge, semi-fixed charge and a variable charge.

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Tower footing resistance of a transmission tower should be as low as possible. The low value of tower footing resistance results in less voltage stresses across line insulation.
NOTE: Tower footing resistance can be reduced by using a single driven rod.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. PMMC
→ only for DC
→ Scale is uniform
→ Eddy current damping is used
→ F = BIL
→ The torque/Weight ratio is high to reduce frictional errors.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. In a three-phase induction motor, T_st/T_fl =(I_st/I_fl )^2 s_fl
∴1.6=(12.56)^2 s_fl
∴s_fl=0.01 or 1%

S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. The output signal of a common-collector amplifier is always in phase with the input signal.
