If the cross-sectional area of a magnetic field increases, but the flux remains the same, the flux density
A. increases
B. decreases
C. remains the same
D. doubles
Explanatory answer : B
Flux density = flux / area
So if area increases, flux density decreases.

When the speed at which a conductor is moved through a magnetic field is increased, the induced voltage
When the speed at which a conductor is moved through a magnetic field is increased, the induced voltage
[A] increases
[B] decreases
[C] remains constant
[D] reaches zero
Answer: A
In a generator induced emf is proportional to speed hence if speed increases,induced emf also increase...

A 4 point starter is used to start and control the speed of a (GATE-EE-2011)
A 4 point starter is used to start and control the speed of a (GATE-EE-2011)
(A) dc shunt motor with armature resistance control
(B) dc shunt motor with field weakening control
(C) dc series motor
(D) dc compound motor
Answer: option (A)
The armature current of DC shunt motor
Ia = (V- Eb) /Ra.
at the time of starting, Eb = 0. If the full supply voltage is applied to the motor, it will draw a large current due to low armature resistance.
A variable resistance should be connected in series with the armature resistance to limit the starting...
