What is the difference between a Capacitor, Resistor, and Inductor?

Electrical and Electronic Engineering - Interview Questions

Capacitor : A capacitor is an electrical component that opposes the current flow and acts as a passive element. It also stores some form of electrical charge when a potential is applied.

Resistor : A resistor is an electrical component that opposes the flow of current. It is a two-terminal component and is mainly used to reduce the flow of current.

Inductor : An inductor is an electrical component used to build electrical circuits and store the energy in the form of a magnetic field. It is also called a choke or a coil.

What are the advantages of VSCF wind electrical system?

Advantages of VSCF wind electrical system are :

* No complex pitch changing mechanism is needed.
* Aero turbine always keeps going at maximum efficiency point.
* Extra energy in the high wind speed region of the speed – duration curve can be extracted
* Significant reduction in aerodynamic stresses, which are associated with constant – speed operation.

Why electricity in India is in the multiples of 11 like 11kv, 22kv, 33kv?

Transformer Induced voltage equation contains 4.44 factor.

E=4.44*f*T*phi
E -Induced emf per phase
T -number of turns
f -frequency
phi -maximum flux per pole
From the equation we see that E is proportional to 4.4 and it is in turn multiple of 11.

So always transmission voltage is multiple of 11
