811.

Heat transfer in the surrounding without a material medium is possible through?

A.

Conduction

B.

Convection

C.

Radiation

D.

Expansion

Correct answer is C

Conduction, convection of heat or electricity through a material medium is required but radiation requires no material medium for heat transfer

812.

The device in which one circuit controls another, especially if the current in the second circuit is large or dangerous is known as

A.

Electromagnetic devices

B.

Magnetic relay device

C.

None at all

D.

Sextant

Correct answer is B

 

Magnetic relay device :is the device that controls a circuit (i.e one circuit )if a current in the second circuit is large or dangerous

813.

At what respective value of a, b, and c would the unit of work, the joule, be dimensionally similar to Ma Lb Tc?

A.

1, – 2, 1

B.

1, 2, – 2

C.

1, 1, –2

D.

2, 2, 1

Correct answer is B

Work (w) = Force (f) × Distance (d)

Note: f = ma = mass × acceleration

= mass ×acceleration ×distance

= kg ×ms–2 × m

= kg m2 5–2

(Note: the dimension of kg = M, M = L & S = T)

Work = ML2 T–2 = Ma Lb Tc

i.e. Ma Lb Tc = as 1, b = 2, c = –2

The value of a, band c = 1, 2, –2

814.

The compressed regions and the space-out regions in longitude wave are refers to as

A.

Compression and Rarefaction

B.

Comparison and Explosion

C.

Reflection only

D.

Refraction only

Correct answer is A

The vibrating particles behave like a spiral spring with a series of compression region and space–out region.

815.

A member of the crew of a SPACESHIP experiences weightlessness in a space when they

A.

Fall freely from the earth’s gravitational field

B.

Is walking on the planet

C.

In between the sun and the earth

D.

Holding anything in space is negative

Correct answer is A

 

Weightlessness:– The state of being free from the effects of gravity. (zero gravity)
