Electrical Engineering: Power system MCQ

21. Question

Two generating units rated 300 MW and 400 MW have governor speed regulation of 6% and 4% respectively from no load to full load. Both the generating units are operating in parallel to share a load of 600 MW. Assuming free governor action, the load shared by the larger units is _________ MW.




Answer
22. Question

A thin soap bubble of radius R = 1 cm, and thickness a = 3.3 μm (a << R), is at a potential of 1 V with respective to a reference point at infinity. The bubble bursts and becomes a single spherical drop of soap (assuming all the soap is contained in the drop) of radius r. The volume of the soap in the thin bubble is 4πR2 a and that of the drop is  The potential in volts, of the resulting single spherical drop with respect to the same reference point at infinity is __________. (Give the answer up to two decimal places.)
