2. a) Derive the EMF equation of a single-phase transformer.

   b) A single-phase 50 Hz transformer has 35 primary and 350 secondary turns. The net cross-sectional area of the core is 550 cm². If the primary winding is connected to a 230 V, 50 Hz supply, determine i) the EMF induced in the secondary winding ii) the maximum value of flux density in the core.

3. a) Explain the principle of operation of a DC generator.

   b) A 4-pole, lap-wound DC shunt generator having 800 conductors is running at 1000 rpm. If the flux per pole is 0.03 wb, determine the generated EMF. If the generator is supplying a load of 15A at a terminal voltage of 230V, determine the armature resistance and shunt field resistance.

4. a) Explain the principle of operation of a three-phase induction motor.

   b) A 6-pole, 50 Hz, three phase induction motor running on full load develops a useful torque of 150 N-m. Calculate the rotor frequency if the rotor EMF makes 120 complete alterations per minute.
