[amp_mcq option1=”Less number of consumers” option2=”More number of consumers” option3=”Neither (A) nor (B)” option4=”Either (A) or (B)” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: B. More number of consumers.<\/p>\n
A diversity factor is a measure of how much the load on a power system varies over time. A high diversity factor means that the load is relatively constant, while a low diversity factor means that the load varies significantly.<\/p>\n
A power station of given installed capacity will be in a position to supply more number of consumers if the diversity factor is high. This is because a high diversity factor means that the load on the power station is relatively constant, so the power station can supply more consumers without exceeding its capacity.<\/p>\n
If the diversity factor is low, the load on the power station will vary significantly. This means that the power station may not be able to supply all of the consumers at peak times, even if it has enough installed capacity.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, a power station of given installed capacity will be in a position to supply more number of consumers if the diversity factor is high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
