Q:

Two metallic wires made from copper have same length but the radius of wire 1 is half of that of wire 2. The resistance of wire 1 is R. If both the wires are joined together in series, the total resistance becomes

 

A) 2R B) R/2
C) 5R/4 D) 3R/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5R/4

Explanation:

So, resistance of Wire 2 is R/4 as radius is half of wire 1, so area would be 4 times of wire 1.

Now for resistance in series. R= R1 + R2.

Therefore, Final R= R + R/4 = 5R/4

Q:

Acceptable noise level for human ear

A) > 85 db B) = 85 db
C) < 85 db D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) < 85 db

Explanation:

Sound intensity or level is measured by a unit called a decibel. An 85 decibel noise level is not a safe standard for the public.

 

Hence, Acceptable noise level for human ear is less than 85 db.

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.

Q:

Long Sightedness means

A) near images are blurry B) far images are blurry
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) near images are blurry

Explanation:

Long sightedness is a common vision condition in which nearby objects are blurry.

 

In this situation, the person with this condition of the eye where the curvature of the cornea is flat or the axial length of the eyeball is short. When light enters the eye, it does not focus directly on the retina, but focuses beyond the retina. This causes near images to appear out of focus and blurred.
