2. Fluorescent light flickers due to:
High voltage
Low Voltage
High frequency
Low frequency
Correct Answer : c Explanation : Some people have been
known to see the flicker up to 100Hz. In fact, fluorescent lights using magnetic
ballasts have a flicker around 100-120Hz, which most people can't see. This is
because it is powered by ballasts with a frequency of 50Hz (60Hz in the US)
and lamps flicker with the double frequency

power to apparent (working + reactive) power which is at unity in case of an
incandescent lamp as it is resistive load and does not draw any reactive power.

15. An industrial plant is served by a 12470-v delta/480-v grounded-wye
transformer. The high voltage side of the transformer is served from a 12470-v wye-
connected distribution line that has a grounded neutral. The best protection of the
transformer against lightning strikes on the 12470-v line will result from surge
arrester connection of:
Phase to ground on the 12470-v side of the transformer
Phase to phase on the 12470-v side of the transformer
Phase to ground on the 480-v side of the transformer
Phase to neutral to ground on the 480-v side of the transformer
Correct Answer : a
Explanation : Surge arresters are installed on a transformer to protect it from over-
voltage transients. A surge arrester is connected to each phase conductor just
before it enters the transformer. The surge arrester is grounded, thereby providing
a low impedance path to ground for energy from an over-voltage transient if one
occurs
16. Class C amplifier is suitable for

20. Which of the following junction nodes are forward biased?
Anode = +7V, Cathode = +10V
Anode = +5V, Cathode = +3V

Correct Answer : b Explanation : A diode connected in
forward biased is one in which the positive voltage of a voltage source is connected
to the anode of the diode and the negative or ground of the voltage source is
connected to the anode of the diode. When a diode is connected in forward biased,
current flows through the diode and it conducts.
