AC BATTERIES

1. The cause of continuous foaming electrolyte in 6. Thermal runaway in Ni-Cd battery is due to:
the Ni-Cd cell is: a. low internal resistance
a. excessive electrolyte b. high internal resistance
b. high rate of charging c. O2 combines with Cd at plate and generates
c. contamination of cell due to foreign material real
like oil and grease d. as in (c) & it occurs when charging is done at
d. none of the above constant current rate
(Ref. TK Eismin, 47)
2. For checking the voltage of battery before
fitment in aircraft: 7. A battery of 40AH capacity when charged by
a. high discharge cell tester in used without load constant current method at 8 amps. Rate, charging
b. high discharge cell tester is used with load time will be:
c. voltmeter is used a. 5 hrs b. 6 hrs
d. none of the above c. 7 hrs d. 8 hrs
(Ref. TK Eismin)
3. The internal resistance of battery depends upon:
a. area of plates 8. In lead acid batteries spill proof vent plugs
b. resistance of electrolyte having heavy lend are used. Another type of plugs
c. distance between the plates contain a sintered alumina (aluminum oxide) are
d. all the above used. The advantage of sintered alumina plug are:
(Ref. TK Eismin, 49) a. permits diffusion of gases through it without
letting fluids pass
4. The amount of charge required (in ampere b. it is much smaller and lighter
hour) to charge fully discharged battery: c. it save both space and weight
a. 100% b. 140% d. all the above
c. 160% d. 200% (Ref. TK Eismin, 38)
(Ref. TK Eismin)
9.Electrolyte of lead acid battery can be
5. While carrying out capacity test on 24 battery, neutralized by:
the circuit must be switched off when battery a. boric acid b. neptha
voltage drops to: c. vinegar d. baking soda+water
a. 18.2v b. 21.6v (Ref. TK Eismin)
c. 20.4v d. 21.4v
