A) Nitrogen B) Phosphate only
C) Potassium only D) Phosphate and potassium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excessive use of nitrate including manure may be responsible forthe presence of toxic substance in groundwater. Phosphate can also enter the groundwater via excessive use of fertilizers. High application rates of nitrogen containing fertilizers combined with the high-water solubility of nitrate, leads to increased runoff into surface water as well as leaching into groundwater, thereby causing groundwater pollution.

Only a fraction of the nitrogen-based fertilizers, is converted to produce and other plant matter. Nitrate pollution in groundwater comes from pit latrines, it can cause blue baby syndrome.

Q:

A copper wire of radius r and length lhas a resistance of R. A second copper wire with radius 2r and length lis taken and the two wires  are  joined  in  a  parallel  combination. The  resultant  resistance   of  the  parallel combination of the two wires will be

A) 5 R B) 5 R/4
C) 4 R/5 D) R/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) R/5

Explanation:

1st copper wire: R = pl/A = pl/ πr2

2ndcopper wire: R’ = p’l’/A’ = pl/(4 πr2) = R/4

If joined in parallel, (1/Req) = (1/R) + (1/R’)

= 1/R + 4/R1/Req= 5/R

Req= R/5
