General Knowledge Questions

Michael Faraday invented Electric Generator in 1831.

• The operating principle of electromagnetic generators was discovered in the years of 1831–1832 by Michael Faraday.

• The principle later called Faraday's law, is that an electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor which encircles a varying magnetic flux.

Tehri dam is located on the river Bhagirathi.

• It is a multi-purpose rock and earth-fill embankment dam on the Bhagirathi River near Tehri in Uttarakhand, India.

• It is the primary dam of the THDC India Ltd. and the Tehri hydroelectric complex.

From the above figure, we can say that there is the same amount of alcohol in one regular beer (340 ml/12 oz, 5% alcohol), one glass of wine (140 ml/5oz, 12% alcohol), one glass of fortified wine (85 ml/3oz, 20% alcohol) and one shot of spirits (45 ml/1.5 oz, 40% alcohol).

Hence, the given statement whiskey has more alcohol than wine is TRUE.

Energy can be either a potential energy or a kinetic energy.

The energy associated with motion is called Kinetic energy and it can be stored. And the energy associated with position is called Potential energyand it cannot be stored.

India’s first indigenously designed and developed high thrust cryogenic rocket engine generating a nominal thrust of 19 tonnes was successfully endurance hot tested for a duration of 800 seconds on July 16, 2015 at ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri.

The engine will be used for powering the Cryogenic stage (C25), the upper stage of the next generation GSLV Mark-III launch vehicle of ISRO, capable of launching four tonne class satellites.

This cryogenic engine of C25 Stage operates on Gas Generator Cycle using extremely low temperature propellants – Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) at 20 Kelvin (-253 deg C) and Liquid Oxygen (LOX) at 80K (-193 deg C).
