Q:

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105724.PNG image

Three resistors are arranged in a circuit as shown above. The battery has an unknown but constant emf ε and a negligible internal resistance.

Now, determine the equivalent resistance of the three resistors.

A) 12 Ω B) 10 Ω
C) 16 Ω D) 15 Ω
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 Ω

Explanation:

From the given circuit,

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105964.PNG image

The resistors R1 and R2 are in parallel connection and R3 is in series with R1 & R2

The equivalent resistance of R1 and R2 is

Req = (12 × 4)/(12 + 4) = 3 Ω.

Adding R3 in series with the pair gives

R = Req + 9

R = 3 + 9

R = 12 Ω.

Q:

Which of the following uses a Non Renewable Energy Source?

A) Wind Mill Power Plant B) Hydro Electric Plant
C) Nuclear Power Plant D) Tidal Power Plant
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Nuclear Power Plant

Explanation:

Nuclear Power Plant uses a Non Renewable Energy Source.

 

Non-renewable energy is that source of energy which can not be used again and again. This sort of energy is sustainable to exhaustion.


Non renewable energy is that form of energy which is subject to deletion. This type of energy is of many uses to us. It can be used to produce electricity, heating, cooking, transportation and manufacturing. 85% of the energy used in the industrial processes is form the non-renewable type of energy.

Q:

Heat energy is transferred by conduction whenever molecules

A) collide each other B) means of photons
C) particles replaces there places D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) collide each other

Explanation:

Heat energy can be transferred by three major methods. They are 

 

1. Conduction,

2. Convection and

3. Radiation.

 

Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy.

Radiation is the transfer of energy by means of photons in electromagnetic waves governed by the same laws. It occurs through a vacuum or any transparent medium.

Q:

Which must be true for metamorphism to occur?

A) The grain size must become smaller B) The process must take place underwater
C) The parent rock must be in solid form D) The parent rock must be igneous
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The parent rock must be in solid form

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the method of changing the structure of a rock by using heat and temperature.

Hence, for this to happen the parent rock must be in solid form only. Therefore, option C) is true.
