DC BATTERY SYSTEM MOST IMPORTANT MCQ With
Solution

❖ 1. These Two batteries have connected in ___________.

(A) Series
(B) Parallel

❖ Answer: B

❖ 2. Number of cells connected in series provide a —–

(A) High current carrying capacity (B) Higher Voltage
(C) Higher power (D) None of the above

❖ Answer: B
❖ 3. Number of cells connected in parallel provide a——
(A) High current carrying capacity (B) Higher Voltage
(C) Higher power (D) None of the above

❖ Answer: A

❖ 4. The capacity of a battery is expressed in term of

(A) ampere. (B) volt-hour.
(C) ampere-hour. (D) volt-amp-hour.

❖ Answer: C

❖ 5. Which of the following cell has the highest voltage?

(A) Mercury. (B) Lithium.
(C) Carbon-Zinc. (D) Manganese-Alkaline.

❖ Answer: B

❖ 6. Which of the following cells has the lowest voltage?

(A) Carbon-Zink. (B) Lithium.
(C) Manganese-Alkaline. (D) Mercury.

❖ Answer: D

❖ 7. One (1) Ah = ________?

❖ (A) 1C (B) 1200C
(C) 2400C (D) 3600C

❖ Answer: D

❖ Explanation:

❖ 1Ah = (1A) x (3600s) = (C/s) x (3600s) = 3600 C.

❖ ∴ A (One Ampere) = One Coulomb per second = C/s

❖ 8. In Real case, the Charging current for 200Ah battery would be

_________ ?
(A) 20-22 A (B) 14-16 A
(C) 12-14 A (D) 10-12 A

❖ Answer: A

❖ Explanation: Charging current should be 10% of the Ah (Ampere

hour) rating of battery.

❖ Therefore, charging current for 120Ah battery would be = 200Ah x

(10/100) = 20A

❖ But due to losses, the charging current for 200Ah battery should
be 20-22A.

❖ 9. Which of the following battery is generally used in electric

power station?
(A) Zinc carbon battery. (B) Nickel cadmium
battery.
(C) Lead acid battery. (D) Lithium battery.

❖ Answer: C
❖ 10. In Edison cell, the negative plate is made of
(A) zinc. (B) copper.
(C) iron. (D) lead.

❖ Answer: C

❖ 11. The capacity of a lead acid cell does not depend on its
(A) temperature. (B) rate of discharge.
(C) rate of charge. (D) all of the above.

❖ Answer: C

❖ 12. When a lead acid battery is in fully charge condition, the

colour of its positive plate is
(A) brown. (B) dark grey.
(C) dark brown. (D) none of the
above.

❖ Answer: C

❖ 13. When the lead acid battery is fully charged condition, the
appearance of its electrolyte is
(A) bright. (B) dull.
(C) milky. (D) brown.

❖ Answer: C

❖ 14. During charging the specific gravity of the electrolyte of a

❖ A. Maintain proper electrolyte level B. Increase its reverse

capacity

❖ C. Prevent sulphation D. Keep it fresh and fully charged

❖ Answer: D

❖ 16. On over charging a battery

❖ A. It will bring about chemical change in active materials

❖ B. It will increase the capacity of the battery

❖ C. It will raise the specific gravity of the

electrolyte D. None of the above

❖ Answer: D

❖ 17. Batteries are charged by

❖ A. Rectifiers B. Engine generator sets

❖ C. Motor generator sets D. Any of the above
