Q:

Working of safety fuses depends upon

1. magnetic effect of the current

2. chemical effect of the current

3. magnitude of the current

4. heating effect of the current

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

 

A) 1, 2, 3 and 4 B) 1, 2 and 3 only
C) 3 and 4 only D) 4 only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3 and 4 only

Explanation:

An electric fuse is a device which is used to limit the current in an electric circuit. The fuse safeguards the circuit and the electrical appliances from being damaged.

The fuse wire is generally an alloy of lead and tin. It has a low melting point and breaks the circuit if the current exceeds a safe value. The thickness and length of the fuse wire depends on the maximum current allowed through the circuit.

It is connected in series in the beginning of the electric circuits.

If too many electrical appliances of high power rating (like electric iron, water heater etc) are switched on at the same time, they draw an extremely large current from the circuit. This condition is called overloading and it can cause overheating of the wiring and lead to a fire. (heating effect and magnitude of the current)

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Prebiotics are the lesser-known gut-health promoters which serve as food for good bacteria inside the gut. "We found that dietary prebiotics can improve non-REM (random eye movement) sleep, as well as REM sleep after a stressful event," said Robert Thompson, a PhD researcher at University of Colorado Boulder in the U.S. Prebiotics are dietary fibres found naturally in foods like artichokes, raw garlic, leeks and onions.

When beneficial bacteria digest prebiotic fibre, they not only multiply, improving overall gut health, but they also release metabolic by-products. Researchers fed three-week-old male rats a diet of either standard chow or chow that included prebiotics. They then monitored the rats' body temperature, gut bacteria and sleep-wake cycles — using electroencephalogram (EEG), or brain activity testing over time. Findings revealed that the rats on the prebiotic diet spent more time in non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep, which is restful and restorative, than those on the non-prebiotic diet.


How can sleep wake cycles be monitored?

A) By testing brain power B) By allowing REM and NREM sleep
C) By using EEG D) By recording body temperature
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) By using EEG
