Centrifugation is a separation process which uses the action of centrifugal force to promote accelerated settling of particles in a solid-liquid mixture.

The washing machine consists of centrifuge for this purpose. A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin that can be very strong.

Q:

Nuclear sizes are expressed in a unit named

A) Fermi B) Angstrom
C) Newton D) Tesla
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Fermi

Explanation:

Nuclear sizes are expressed in a unit called "Fermi" which is a unit of length equal to 10−15 metre (one femtometre), used in nuclear physics. It is similar to the diameter of a proton.

Q:

Two electric bulbs marked 25W – 220V and 100W – 220V are connected in series to a 440Vsupply. Which of the bulbs will fuse?

A) 25 W B) Both
C) 100 W D) Neither
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25 W

Explanation:

Resistances of both the bulbs are

 

R1=V^2/P1 = 220^2/25

 

R2 = V^2/P2 = 220^2/100

 

Hence  R1gt ; R2

 

When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.
