.

23.
In figure, Za = 100∠50°, Zb = 300∠-90° and Zc = 200∠0°. For balanced condition, Zd will be
600∠ - 40°
600∠140°
600∠ - 140°
150∠140°
Answer: Option
Explanation:

.

24.
In household energy meters the flux of series magnet is in phase with current but the flux of shunt magnet lags the voltage by 88°. The reading of energy meters
will be correct
will have a negative error
will have a positive error
may have positive or negative error
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since angle is less than 90°, reading will be less. Therefore error is negative and correction is positive.

25.
