Q:

In a DC machine, rectification process is carried out in order to get unidirectional output (DC). This rectification process is carried out by ______________

A) Half wave rectifier B) Full wave rectifier
C) Mechanical rectification D) Centre tapped rectifier
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Mechanical rectification

Explanation: In a DC machine electronic rectification is not used. Instead they use mechanical rectification with the help of commutator-brush assembly.

Q:

The angle (electrical) made by brushes with axes of adjoining filed poles is ______________

A) 450 B) 1800
C) 900 D) 300
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 900

Explanation: Brushes in a DC machine are normally placed electrically in the interpolar regions and therefore make an angle of 900 electrical with the axes of adjoining filed poles.

Q:

Function of yoke is to provide the return path for magnetic flux.

A) True B) false
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) True

Explanation: The function of yoke is that it protects the entire machine from dust and dirt. It also provides mechanical support for the magnetic poles. It acts as the return path for the magnetic flux.

Q:

What are the materials used for brushes in dc machines?

A) Iron B) Carbon
C) Aluminum D) Steel
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Carbon

Explanation: On some extent carbon brush can act as a self-lubricating brush. On moment, polishes the commutator segments. Damage to the commutators is less when copper brushes are used on occurrence of sparkover.

Q:

Where is field winding mounted in a DC machine?

A) Stator B) Rotor
C) Absent D) Anywhere on stator or rotor
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Stator

Explanation: The field winding (concentrated type) is mounted on salient-poles on the stator and the armature winding (distributed type) is wound in slots on a cylindrical rotor. In AC machines field winding is mounted on rotor.
