Electrical Engineering Questions and Answers


76)

Energy is stored by an inductor in an electrostatic field.


Answer: Option B

Explanation:

77)

Inductors add in parallel.


Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Inductors can only add in series L=L1+L2+L3.

78)

Inductance is indirectly proportional to the square of the number of turns, the permeability, and the cross-sectional area of the core.


Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Some factors that affect the inductance of a coil include: 

1. The inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns;
2. The inductance increases directly as the permeability of the core material increases;
3. The inductance increases directly as the cross-sectional area increases; and 
4. The inductance decreases as its length increases.

79)

All coil cores are made of iron.


Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The core is made up of high grade silicon steel. The permeability of silicon steel is 7000.
