Math Problem Statement
Solution
I see you've uploaded an image of an exam paper from Yaba College of Technology's School of Engineering, focusing on Electrical Machines II. Here’s a quick breakdown of the questions as listed in your image:
-
Question 1:
- (a) Discuss the principle of operation of transformers.
- (b) Given the equation , show that (related to transformer universal equation).
- (c) A single-phase transformer has 500 primary turns and 1200 secondary turns, with a primary voltage of 500 V. If the flux density is 1.5 Wb/m² and the core area is 50 cm²:
- Calculate the value of flux density in the core.
- Calculate the secondary voltage.
-
Question 2:
- (a) Define terms related to electromagnetic induction: magnetic flux, flux linkage, etc.
- (b) In a laboratory experiment to verify Faraday’s law, a coil is rotated, and the induced e.m.f. over an interval is recorded. Calculate:
- Magnetic flux.
- Average current.
-
Question 3:
- (a) Define self-inductance and explain mutual inductance.
- (b) Given a transformer and several impedances, calculate:
- Equivalent resistance as referred to primary.
- Equivalent resistance as referred to secondary.
- Equivalent reactance as referred to both primary and secondary.
-
Question 4:
- (a) Draw a well-labeled electrical machine classification chart.
- (b) Prove the energy stored in the magnetic field of a coil using the given relationship.
- (c) State three advantages of 3-phase transformers over single-phase transformers.
Would you like a detailed explanation or step-by-step solution for any of these specific questions? Let me know if you need assistance with calculations or theory!
Here are five related questions for deeper understanding:
- What are the main losses in a transformer and how can they be minimized?
- How does the core material affect transformer efficiency?
- How does mutual inductance differ from self-inductance in transformers?
- Can you explain the relationship between voltage, current, and flux in an ideal transformer?
- What is the significance of phase grouping in three-phase transformers?
Tip: When calculating transformer efficiency, always account for copper and iron losses to get an accurate result.
