In a synchronous machine, hunting is predominantly damped by

A hollow metallic sphere of radius r is kept at potential of 1 Volt. The total electric flux coming out of the concentric spherical surface of radius R(>r) is

A perfectly conducting metal plate is placed in x-y plane in a right handed coordinate system. A charge of $$+32{\mathrm{πε}}_0\sqrt2$$ columbs is placed at coordinate (0, 0, 2). $${\mathrm\varepsilon}_0$$ is the permittivity of free space. Assume $$\widehat i,\;\widehat j,\;\widehat k$$ to be unit vectors along x, y and z axes respectively. At the coordinate $$\left(\sqrt2,\sqrt2,0\right)$$, the electric field vector $$\overrightarrow E$$ (Newtons/Columb) will be

The function $$f\left( x \right) = {e^x} - 1\,\,$$ is to be solved using Newton $$-$$ Raphson method. If the initial value of $${x_0}$$ is taken $$1.0,$$ then the absolute error observed at $${2^{nd}}$$ iteration is ___________.
