Correct Answer 1 and 2 only

In dielectric material, dissipation of energy occurs due to

  • Continuous change in the orbital paths of electrons due to AC fields. Whenever an alternating voltage is applied to a dielectric material, the dissipation of energy occurs due to movement or rotation of atoms or molecules in an alternating electric field.
  • However, the conduction current in a dielectric is the main source of dielectric losses.

Which of the following statements is/are correct? 1) Conductor contains a large number of electrons in the conduction band at room temperature. No energy gaps exist and the valence and conduction bands overlap. 2) A semiconductor is a material in which the energy gap is so large that practically no electron can be given enough energy to jump this gap. 3) An insulator is a solid with an energy gap small enough for electrons to cross rather easily from the valence band to conduction band.
Below stated are some of the statements about the Alternating current. You need to identify which of the following is incorrect, 1. DC power is far more powerful than AC power. The efficiency and power to size characteristics of DC motors and apparatuses are increased. Lighting by DC (LED) is 75% more efficient than lighting from incandescence. 2. A comparatively high voltage alternating current may be generated and easily raised and dropped by the static equipment known as the transformer, which makes electrical energy transmission and distribution economical, 3. Initial costs and maintenance of the AC motor are less expensive since it has no switch and is less powerful than the DC motor for constant working speed, hence it is desired to create power as alternating current. 4. The great efficiency of transmission in ac makes electric power generation cost-effective, Produced in huge quantities in one station and distributed throughout a vast area.
