With the positive probe on an NPN base,
an ohmmeter reading between the other transistor terminal should be?
a) Infinite
b) Open
c) Low resistance
d) High Resistance

Since the base is connected to +ve probe it has a higher potential than other terminals
so it makes the transistor in forward bias mode for both terminals and as we know in
forward bias resistance is very low.

Three wattmeter method of power measurement can be used to measure power in
a) Balanced Circuits
b) Unbalanced circuits
c) Both Balanced and Unbalanced circuits
d) None of the above

In case if the supply is 3-phase, 4 wire system, then for the unbalanced system or loads
the two wattmeters can’t be used since the current is flowing through neutral. The three
wattmeter method of power measurement will work regardless of whether the load is
balanced or unbalanced, delta or Y connected.

The least number of 1Φ wattmeters required to measure total power consumed
by an unbalanced load fed from a 3Φ, 4 wire system is
a) 4
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3

As per Blondel theorem ,when power is supplied by the N-wire AC system,


the number of wattmeter's required = (N- 1) regardless the load is balanced or
unbalanced.
So 3 phase 4 wire system number of wattmeter required is 3.
