Objective Questions

Short notes

Objective questions (Answers are given below)

  1. Transient disturbance is produced in a circuit
    whenever
    (a) it is suddenly connected or disconnected
    from the supply
    (b) it is shorted
    (c) its applied voltage is changed suddenly
    (d) all of the above.
  2. There are no transients in pure resistive
    circuits because they
    (a) offer high resistance
    (b) obey Ohm’s law
    (c) have no stored energy
    (d) are linear circuits.
  3. Transient currents in electrical circuit are
    associated with
    (a) inductors
    (b) capacitors
    (c) resisters
    (d) both (a) and (b).
  4. The transients which are produced due to
    sudden but energetic changes from one
    steady state of a circuit to another are called
    ……. transients.
    (a) initiation (b) transition
    (c) relaxation (d) subsidence
  5. In an R-L circuit connected to an alternating
    sinusoidal voltage, size of transient current
    primarily depends on
    (a) the instant in the voltage cycle at which
    circuit is closed
    (b) the peak value of steady-state current
    (c) the circuit impedance
    (d) the voltage frequency.
  6. Double-energy transients are produced in
    circuits consisting of
    (a) two or more resistors
    (b) resistance and inductance
    (c) resistance and capacitance

    circuit when excited from an ac source is a/
    an ….. sine wave.
    (a) over damped (b) undamped
    (c) under damped
    (d) critically damped.
  8. Transient current in an R-L-C circuit is
