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:

The capacity of a water heater is measured in

A) Gallons B) Liters
C) Meters D) Both A & B
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both A & B

Explanation:

The capacity of a water heater is measured in Gallons or Liters. In the USA, it is measured in Gallons and in India, we measure it in Liters.

Hence, if the capacity of the water heater is 15 gallons or 15 liters, then it says that it can hold 15 gallons or 15 liters of water.

Q:

Forces of attraction limit the motion of particles most in solids.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) TRUE

Explanation:

We know that, solids have definite shapes and definite volumes, whereas liquids have definite volumes but indefinite shapes and coming to gases it has indefinite volumes and indefinite shapes.


 


Hence, only in solids, the forces of attraction limit the motion of particles.

Q:

Which of the following is a renewable source of energy

A) Natural gas B) Coal
C) Wind D) Oil
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Wind

Explanation:

The energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out. Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Overall, they release very few chemicals, like carbon dioxide, that can harm the environment.


Most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These are nonrenewable energy sources, which means that if we use them all up, we can never get more during our lifetime. Fossil fuels also contribute greatly to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the air when they are burned.

Q:

Electrostatic precipitator is used to control

A) Water pollution B) Noise pollution
C) Air pollution D) Solid waste
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Air pollution

Explanation:

Electrostatic precipitator is used to control Air pollution. An electrostatic precipitator is a filtration device that removes fine particles, like dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding the flow of gases through the unit.
