ABB Graduate Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is resistor?
Ans. 
A resistor is an electronic component that resists the flow of electrical current.
• Resistors are used to control the amount of current flowing in a circuit.

• They are measured in ohms (Ω) and have color-coded bands to indicate their resistance value.

• Resistors dissipate energy in the form of heat when current flows through them.

• Examples of resistors include carbon film resistors, metal film resistors, and wirewound resisto

Q5. What is stator?
Ans. 
Stator is the stationary part of an electric motor or generator.
• Stator is the stationary component in an electric motor or generator that surrounds the rotor.

• It does not rotate and is responsible for producing a magnetic field to interact with the rotor.

• Examples include the stator in a car alternator or the stator in a wind turbine generator.

Q1. What is mechanical advantage
Ans. 
Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device, or machine.
• It is calculated as the ratio of the output force to the input force.

• A mechanical advantage greater than 1 indicates that the machine amplifies the input force.

• Examples include levers, pulleys, and gears which are designed to provide mechanical advantage in various applications.
