सही उत्तरA. डीसी मशीन के वायु अंतराल का चुंबकीय व्यवहार
त्वरित व्याख्या
The air-gap line is the straight unsaturated reference line on a DC machine magnetization curve. It represents the magnetic behaviour when the reluctance is dominated by the air gap and iron saturation is neglected.
फॉर्मूला / मुख्य संबंध
In the unsaturated region:
Φ ∝ If
E0 ∝ Φω
Air-gap line: linear E0–If reference.

Concept & ReasoningOn the open-circuit characteristic of a DC generator, the initial portion is nearly linear because the iron is unsaturated. Extending this linear portion gives the air-gap line. It indicates the field current that would be required if the magnetic circuit behaved linearly, essentially representing the air-gap dominated mmf requirement.

Concept & Reasoning
On the open-circuit characteristic of a DC generator, the initial portion is nearly linear because the iron is unsaturated. Extending this linear portion gives the air-gap line. It indicates the field current that would be required if the magnetic circuit behaved linearly, essentially representing the air-gap dominated mmf requirement. As saturation develops, the actual OCC bends below the air-gap line because additional field current produces progressively smaller flux increase.
How to Solve It in the Exam
Air-gap line = unsaturated straight-line reference of the OCC.
Important Exam Point
Use the air-gap line to visualize saturation and synchronous-reactance methods.

क्विक ट्रिक
Air-gap line = unsaturated straight-line reference of the OCC.
सामान्य गलती
Do not interpret it as an induction-motor-specific characteristic merely because the term 'air gap' is used.
एग्जाम टिप
Use the air-gap line to visualize saturation and synchronous-reactance methods.
