Electrical Engineering Questions et reponses d'entretien
Question 1. What is Ohm's Law?
Ohm's Law states that the current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across its ends, provided the temperature remains constant.
Example:
I = V/R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance.
Question 2. Explain the difference between AC and DC.
AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically, while DC (Direct Current) flows in one direction consistently.
Example:
Household electrical outlets provide AC, while batteries provide DC.
Question 3. What is the purpose of a transformer?
A transformer is used to change the voltage of an alternating current, either increasing (step-up) or decreasing (step-down) the voltage.
Example:
Power distribution often involves step-up and step-down transformers.
Question 4. Define the term 'Power Factor'.
Power Factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power in an AC circuit, representing the efficiency of power usage.
Example:
A power factor of 1 indicates perfect efficiency, while lower values imply inefficiency.
Question 5. What is the skin effect in electrical conductors?
The skin effect is the tendency of alternating current to concentrate on the outer surface of a conductor, reducing its effective cross-sectional area.
Example:
It becomes more significant at higher frequencies.
