1. Magnetic stored energy density for iron is given by ______
a) 1/2 B/μ
b) 1/2 B2 μ
c) 1/2 ∅2 Rl
d) 1/2 B2/μ
Explanation: Magnetic stored energy density for iron is given as
wfld=Wfld/((Length of the magnetic path through Iron)*(Iron area normal to the magnetic flux))=1/2 (F∅)/(length*Area)=1/2 F/length ∅/area=1/2 H*B
Also, H = B/μ,thus wfld=1/2 B2/μ.
2. The energy stored in a magnetic field is given by ____________ where L=self-inductance and Rl=reluctance.
a) 1/2 Li2
b) 1/2 (mmf*Rl)2
c) 1/2∅Rl
d) 1/2 φ2i
Explanation: We know that Wfld=1/2 φi and L=φ/i, thus Wfld=1/2 Li2.
3. When a current of 5A flows through a coil of linear magnetic circuit, it has flux linkages of 2.4 wb-turns. What is the energy stored in the magnetic field of this coil in Joules?
a) 6
b) 12
c) 1.2
d) 2.4
Explanation: Wfld = 1/2 φ*i = 1/2*2.4*5 = 6 Joules.
4. For a linear electromagnetic circuit, which of the following statement is true?
a) Field energy is less than the Co-energy
b) Field energy is equal to the Co-energy
c) Field energy is greater than the Co-energy
d) Co-energy is zero
Explanation: Wfld=Wfld1=1/2 φ*i=1/2 F*∅
5. The electromagnetic force and/or torque, developed in any physical system, acts in such a direction as to tend to ____________
a) decrease the magnetic stored energy at constant mmf
b) decrease the magnetic stored energy at constant flux
c) increase the magnetic stored energy at constant flux
d) increase the magnetic stored energy at constant current
Explanation: fe=-(∂Wfld (φ,x))/∂x = -(∂Wfld (∅,x))/∂x and Te = -(∂Wfld(φ,θ))/∂θ = -(∂Wfld (∅,θ))/∂θ
The negative sign before ∂Wfld indicates that fe acts in a direction as to tend to decrease the stored energy at constant mmf.
6. The electromagnetic force developed in any physical system acts in such a direction as to tend to _____________
a) decrease the co-energy at constant mmf
b) increase the co-energy at constant flux
c) decrease the co-energy at constant flux
d) increase the co-energy at constant mmf
Explanation: fe = (∂Wfld1 (i,x))/∂x = (∂Wfld1 (F,x))/∂x, the positive sign before ∂Wfld1 indicates that force fe acts in a direction as to tend to increase the co-energy at constant mmf.
7. Consider a magnetic relay with linear magnetization curve in both of its open and closed position. What happens to the electrical energy input to the relay, when the armature moves slowly from open position to closed position?
a) Welec=Wfld
b) Welec=Wmech
c) Welec=Wmech/2+Wfld/2
d) Welec=0
Explanation: For the above mentioned case, Wfld=Wmech and Wfld=Welec/2 hence, option “c” is the correct answer.
8. The electromagnetic torque developed in any physical system, and with magnetic saturation neglected, acts in such a direction as to tend to ____________
a) decrease both the reluctance and inductance
b) increase both the reluctance and inductance
c) decrease the reluctance and increase the inductance
d) increase the reluctance and decrease the inductance
Explanation: fe=1/2 ∅2 dRl/dx, Te=-1/2 ∅2 dRl/dθ = 1/2 i2 dL/dθ.
9.Electromagnetic force and/or torque developed in any physical system, acts in such a direction as to tend to ____________
a) increase both the field energy and co-energy at constant current
b) increase the field energy and decrease the co-energy at constant current
c) decrease both the field energy and co-energy at constant current
d) decrease the field energy and increase the co-energy at constant current
Explanation: fe = (∂Wfld1(i,x))/∂x = (∂Wfld(i,x))/∂x.
10. What is the angle between stator direct axis and quadrature axis?
a) 90°
b) 0°
c) 45°
d) 60°
Explanation: In reluctance motor, direct axis is horizontal axis and quadrature axis is at 90° to the direct axis.
