MCQ on DC Motor

Que.1 Which of the following is not a part of stator of d.c. motor?
  1. armature
  2. pole core
  3. pole shoe
  4. field winding

✔ View Answer

Option 1: armature

Que.2Which of the following is not a part of rotor of d.c. motor?
  1. armature
  2. commutator
  3. shaft
  4. pole shoe

✔ View Answer

Option 4: pole shoe

Explanation:Pole shoe, pole core and field windings are stationary so they are stator assembly.
Que.3__________ is used to determine the direction of rotation of d.c. motor.
  1. Faraday’s law
  2. Lenz law
  3. Fleming’s right hand rule
  4. Fleming’s left hand rule

✔ View Answer

Option 4: Fleming's left hand rule

Que.4__________ is used to provide power to the rotor of d.c. motor.
  1. Carbon brush
  2. Commutator
  3. Field magnet
  4. Yoke

✔ View Answer

Option 1: Carbon brush

Que.5In Fleming’s Left Hand rule, thumb indicates the direction of ________.
  1. current
  2. magnetic field
  3. force applied on conductor
  4. emf produced

✔ View Answer

Option 3: force applied on conductor

Que.6 The direction of d.c. series motor can be changed by
i. Interchanging supply terminals
ii. Interchanging field terminals
  1. Only i
  2. Both i and ii
  3. Either i or ii
  4. None of the above

✔ View Answer

Option 3: Either i or ii

Explanation:The direction of d.c. series motor can be changed by interchanging supply or interchanging field terminals. But only one thing should be done at a time otherwise direction of rotation will not change.
Que.7Which of the following is not a part of field magnets?
  1. Field winding
  2. Armature
  3. Pole shoe
  4. Pole core

✔ View Answer

Option 2: Armature

Que.8 High grade silicon steel used in armature core of d.c. motors to reduce,
i. Hysteresis loss
ii. Eddy current loss
iii. Copper loss
  1. All of the above
  2. i and ii only
  3. ii and iii only
  4. i and iii only

✔ View Answer

Option 2: i and ii only

Explanation:Copper loss occurs in winding therefore no question about occuring in core.
Que.9 Which of the following are purpose of the yoke in d.c. motor?

i. Acts as frame of the machine

ii. Mechanical support

iii. low reluctance for magnetic flux

  1. None of the above
  2. only i and ii
  3. All of the above
  4. only i

✔ View Answer

Option 3: All of the above

Que.10Identify the correct statement/s.
i. In lap winding number of parallel paths, A= number of poles, P i.e. A=P.
ii. In wave winding number of parallel paths, A=4
  1. Both statements are correct.
  2. Both statements are wrong.
  3. Only statement i is correct.
  4. Only statement ii is correct.

✔ View Answer

Option 3: Only statement i is correct.

Explanation:
In wave winding number of parallel paths are 2.
Que.11If an AC supply is applied to DC motor then
  1. it will burn.
  2. it will run with lower speed.
  3. it will run with normal speed.
  4. it will run with higher speed.

✔ View Answer

Option 1: it will burn.

  1. Quality, Opposition
  2. Direction, Magnitude
  3. Magnitude, Direction
  4. Opposition, Quality

✔ View Answer

Option 3: Magnitude, Direction

Que.13The armature of d.c. motor is laminated _____ .
  1. to reduce hysteresis loss
  2. to reduce eddy current loss
  3. to increase strength
  4. All of the above

✔ View Answer

Option 2: to reduce eddy current loss
