A 3-phase balanced load is connected to 3-phase mains once in star and

then in delta.
the ratio of line currents in star to that in delta.

Ans. Line current rw1th load

Line current with load in

delta,

11. What is meant by lines of force in a magnetic field ?

Ans. Lines of force indicate the existence of magnetic field in the
neighborhood of a magnetic pole
These are taken to emanate from N pole, traverse the surrounding medium,
re-enter the S pole and pass through the magnet from S pole to N pole- Note
that lines of force must form a closed loop.

13- What is magnetomotive force ?

Ans- Magnetomotive force (mmf) drives ux in a magnetic c

I amperes has mmf equal to IN axnpereturns.
14- What is reluctance ?

A115- Reluctance is the resista

It is given by

ed of a magrzetic pole.

given, the name ux or ulagnetic

ircuit. An N-turn coii carrying a current

nce offered to the establishment of magnetic ux in a magnetic circuit.

L
R! - 1 A

where L = length the Inagxietic path aiong the ux lines,

A = area normal to the ux path,
and pt r: permeability of the medium-

15. What is inductance ?

Ans- Any circuit associated with magnetic lines of force possesses

inductance or selfinductance.
Its presence in a circuit is felt only when current is changing.

It may thus be stated that: inductance is the property of a circuit by virtue of

which an emf is
induced in the circuit itself by the changing current-

16- What is magnetic leakage ux ? ' {P.T.U., 29013

Ans. The ux in a magnetic, circuit that does not follow the
designed path is called magnetic ieakage ux.

17- Explain BH ctlrve- 1

8

Ans- The BH curve, aiso known as magnetisation curve or

saturation curve, shows the manner in which the ux density B
changes as the magneticfield intensity H is varied. A typical shape (
ofB~H curve for iron is sketched in Fig. 13-3. The shape ofBH curve
depends upon the the magnetic material only and not on the

dimensions ofmaterial. This curve is used for the graphical analysis

of magnetic circuit problems.

13- State the Faradays law [P.T.U-, 2001} r HATfm>*+ "*1

Ans- Faradays law states than an emf is induced in a coil when Flg DS A
typcal 33 curve
a the magnetic ux iinking the coil changes with time. It is expressed
as

e N dt dt
where e = emf induced, N = number of turns in the coil,
