SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. As puncture destroys the insulator, it is more serious than flash-over. Therefore, Safety Factor is defined for an Insulator. Safety factor of an Insulator is defined as the ration of Puncture Voltage to the Flash Over Voltage.
Safety Factor = Puncture Voltage / Flash Over Voltage
So, (Puncture Voltage)/ (Flash Over Voltage)>1.

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Buchholz relay.

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Power gain=β×voltage gain=100×60=6000.
Note: voltage gain=β×(R_out/R_in )

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. DC series motor.

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Voltage gain in dB=20 log⁡〖A_V=20 log⁡〖1000=20 log⁡〖10^3=3×20=60 dB.〗〗〗

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. NAND & NOR gates are universal gates.
