Which of the following equations is the correct definition of the reactance of an indicator L?

A.

Reactance = (Amplitude of voltage) \(\div\) (Amplitude of current)

B.

Reactance = (Amplitude of voltage) x (Amplitude of current)

C.

Reactance = (Amplitude of current)\(^2\) \(\div\) (Amplitude of voltage)

D.

Reactance = (Amplitude of current)\(^2\) \(\div\) (Amplitude of voltage)\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Correct answer is A

Reactance is the value of an indicator or a capacitor in ohms

292.

Which of the following is/are the limitations to the Rutherford's atomic models?

I. It is applicable when energy is radiated as electrons are revolving

II. It is applicable when energy is radiated in a continuous mode

III. It is applicable to an atom with only one electron in the other shell

A.

I only

B.

II only

C.

I & II only

D.

I, II & III only

Correct answer is C

Rutherford assumed that (I) energy is radiated when electrons are revolving (II) energy is radiated in a continuous mode. These are limitations of Rutherford's model

294.

During the transformation of matter from the solid to the liquid state, the heat supplied does not produce temperature increase because

A.

all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together

B.

the heat capacity has become very large as the substance melts

C.

the heat energy is quickly conducted away

D.

the heat gained is equal to the heat lost by the substance

Correct answer is A

During the transformation of the matter from the solid to the liquid state, the heat supplied does not produce a temperature increase because all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together

295.

Lamps in domestic lightings are usually in

A.

series

B.

divergent

C.

convergent

D.

parallel

Correct answer is D

Lamps in lightenings are arranged to reduce the heat losses

- resultant resistance is small for parallel arrangement which indicate low heat losses [Heat \(\alpha\) R]
