Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.124 Generators, Motors, and Transformers skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A wind turbine drives a generator, whose output goes to a step-up transformer, a long transmission line, and a step-down transformer near a town. Which description is most complete?

AElectrical energy becomes mechanical energy, voltage is lowered for transmission, then raised inside homes.

BThe generator stores magnetic flux, the line creates energy, and the transformers remove current.

CThe wind turbine acts only as a resistor, so transformers are not involved in energy transfer.

DMechanical energy becomes electrical energy, voltage is raised to reduce current and losses, then lowered for local use.

Solution & Explanation:The turbine provides mechanical input to the generator. The grid then uses transformers to manage voltage and current for efficient transmission and practical distribution.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A fault on a transformer's secondary side suddenly lowers the load resistance. Why can this cause a large current on the primary side?

AThe secondary sends electrons through the core into the primary wire.

BThe fault makes the primary voltage ratio disappear and become zero.

CThe low-resistance load demands more secondary power, so the primary draws more current from the source.

DThe primary current must decrease whenever secondary current increases.

Solution & Explanation:Lower load resistance can draw large secondary current. Through magnetic coupling and energy conservation, the primary current rises to supply the increased power demand.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

An engineer wants a stronger motor torque without changing the supply voltage. Which modification most directly increases torque in the simple coil model?

ADecrease the coil area and remove the magnets.

BIncrease the magnetic field strength or the number of turns in the coil.

CReplace the commutator with an open circuit.

DMake the current zero to reduce back emf.

Solution & Explanation:The simple coil torque scales with N, I, A, and B. Increasing turns or field strength increases torque if other limits are managed.
