QUESTIONS FOR SHORT ANSWER 1. Is a vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through an angle ? Yes. Explanation: A vector depends on magnitude and direction. Rotation changes direction, so the vector changes. Exceptions: zero vector or rotation by multiples of \(360^\circ\). 2. Is it possible to add two vectors of unequal magnitudes and …

QUESTIONS FOR SHORT ANSWER 1. The metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in 1/299,792,458 second. Why didn’t people choose some easier number such as 1/300,000,000 second ? Why not 1 second ? Answer: The number 299,792,458 was chosen because it is the exact, measured speed of light in vacuum, not an approximation. …

The torque-speed characteristic curve is one of the most important performance indicators of a three-phase induction motor. It shows how the motor’s developed torque varies with rotor speed, from standstill to synchronous speed, and helps engineers understand starting performance, running behavior, and overload capacity. Torque Equation: The torque \( T \) developed by a three-phase …

Q. A circle with the equation \( (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2 \) is shifted 3 units to the right and 2 units down. What is the new equation of the circle? Solution: The original center of the circle is \( (h, k) \). After shifting 3 units to the right …
The Biot–Savart Law is a fundamental relation in electromagnetism that explains how a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field. It is analogous to Coulomb’s Law, but instead of charges, it deals with moving charges (current). When current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is generated around it. The Biot–Savart Law helps us calculate the …
1. The dimensions of \( \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 \) is (1) \( MLT^{-2} \) (2) \( ML^{-1}T^{-2} \) (3) \( MLT^{-1} \) (4) \( ML^{-1}T^{-1} \) Answer: (2) Explanation: The expression \( u_e = \frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E^2 \) represents electric energy density, which means the electrical energy stored per unit volume in an electric field. …
