Electrcal Power & Traction
1.

The supply frequency usually employed for highfrequency eddy current heating is:
1. 10 MHz.
2. 10400 KHz.
3. 5 KHz.
4. 1 KHz.

2.

In induction heating, the depth up to which the

current will penetrate is proportional to:
1. 1/(Frequency)1/2.
2. 1/Frequency.
3. Frequency.
4. (Frequency)2.

3.

Low-frequency supply is necessary for direct

core type induction furnaces because:
1. The magnetic coupling between the
primary and secondary circuit is poor.
2. With the normal frequency supply, the
electromagnetic forces cause severe
stirring action in the molten metal.
3. Both (a) and (b).
4. None of (a) and (b)

4.

Induction heating takes place in:

1. Insulating materials.
2. Conducting and magnetic materials.
3. Conducting but non-magnetic materials.
4. Conducting materials may be magnetic
or non-magnetic.

5.

Resistance ovens are used for:

1. Domestic and commercial heating.
2. The vulcanizing and hardening of
synthetic materials.
3. The drying of varnish coatings, drying,
and baking of potteries.
4. All of the above.
Direct resistance heating is used in:
1. Electrode boiler.
2. Salt-bath furnace.
3. Resistance welding.
4. All of the above.

6.

7.

In the direct resistance heating method, the

maximum heat transfer takes place by:
1. Convection.
2. Radiation.
3. Conduction.
4. Any of the above

8.

The control of power input to salt-bath furnace is

affected by:
1. Varying the depth of immersion of
electrodes.
2. Varying the distance between the
electrodes.
3. Both (a) and (b).
4. None of (a) and (b).

9.

In a resistance furnace, the temperature is

controlled by:
1. The variation of operating voltage.

3.
4.

The variation of the resistance of heating

circuit.
Switching on and off the supply
periodically.
All of the above.

10. The heat element to be used in a furnace

employed for heating around 1,600C should be
of the material:
1. Nichrome.
2. Eureka.
3. Molybdenum.
4. Silicon-carbide.
11. The material to be used for the heating element
should be of low temperature coefficient so as to:
1. Avoid initial rush of current.
2. Avoid change in kW rating with
temperature.
3. Reduce the effect of oxidation
4. Both (a) and (b) above.
12. The material to be used for the heating element
should be of high resistivity so as to:
1. Increase the life of the heating element.
2. Reduce the length of the heating
element.
3. Reduce the effect of oxidation.
4. Produce large amount of heat.
13. Heat transfer by conduction will not take place
when the:
1. Two bodies are at the same
temperatures.
2. Bodies are kept in vacuum.
3. Bodies are immersed in water.
4. Bodies are exposed to thermal
radiations.
14. For the transmission of heat from one body to
another it is essential that:
1. Both bodies are solids.
2. The two bodies are at different
temperatures.
3. Both bodies are in contact.
4. At least one of the bodies has some
source of heating.
15. Electric heating is considered advantageous over
the other systems of heating (coal, oil, or gas
heating) as:
1. It is economical, clean, hygienic,
efficient, and safe in operation.
2. It provides better working conditions,
automatic protection against
overheating, and simple, accurate, and
reliable temperature control.
3. There is no upper limit to the
temperature obtainable except the ability
of the material to withstand the heat.
4. All of the above.
16. In case of immersion type water heater, the heat
is transferred by:
1. Radiation.
2. Conduction.
3. Convection.
4. All of the above.
