Q:

A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C1is  made  using  two  gold  plates.  Another parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C2is made  using  two  aluminium  plates  with same  plate  separation,  and  all  the  four plates  are  of  same  area.  If gand aPare respectively  the  electrical  resistivities  of gold and aluminium, then which one of the following relations is correct?

A) C1>C2 B) C2>C1
C) C1pa = C2pg D) C1 = C2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) C1 = C2

Explanation:

C1= capacitance of gold plates

C2=   capacitance   of   aluminium plates

rg= Gold’s resistivity

ra= Aluminium’s resistivity

As the capacitance depends on the shape,  size  &  geometrical  placing of  the  conductors  &  the  medium between them, hence, the value of capacitance  will  be  independent  of resistivity. Therefore, C1= C2

Q:

Which Arab scientist could be given the credit of christening the mathematical discipline of algorithm?

A) Al-Khwarizmi B) Ibn al -Haytham
C) Ibn Rushd D) Ibn Sina
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Al-Khwarizmi

Explanation:

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, formerly Latinized as Algorithmi,was a Persianscholar who produced works in mathematics, astronomy, and geography under the patronage of the Caliph Al-Ma'mun of the Abbasid Caliphate.

He also developed the concept of the algorithm in mathematics, which is why some have called him the "grandfather of computer science".

His name gave rise to the terms algorism and algorithm.

Q:

which of the following represents a set of properties that guarantee that database transactions are processed reliably in computer science ?

A) Buffer Cache B) ACID
C) Foreign Key D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) ACID

Explanation:

ACID means (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) is a set of properties of database transactions intended to guarantee validity even in the event of errors, power failures, etc.

In the context of databases, a sequence of database operations that satisfies the ACID properties and, thus, can be perceived as single logical operation on the data, is called a transaction. For example, a transfer of funds from one bank account to another, even involving multiple changes such as debiting one account and crediting another, is a single transaction.
