Which of the following instruments helps to maintain the correct humidity and temperature of a building?

A.

A compressor

B.

A refrigerator

C.

Air blower

D.

Air conditioner

Correct answer is D

Compressor is an instrument to supply air or other gas at increased pressure
Refrigerator is an appliance to keep things cold
Air blower is used to release air
Air conditioner is used to remove heat and maintain a stable temperature in an occupied space

442.

Three 3ω resistance are connected in parallel what is the equivalent resistance?

A.

B.

C.

D.

0.33ω

Correct answer is A

Resistor connected in a parallel have an equivalence given by
\(\frac{1}{\text{Reff}}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\)

= \(\frac{1 + 1 + 1}{3}\) = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1

Reff = 1ω

A block and tackle pulley arrangement has 6 pulleys in which an effort of 50N supports a load of 200N, calculate the efficiency of the machine

A.

80.0%

B.

76.6%

C.

66.7%

D.

60.7%

Correct answer is C

Efficiency = \(\frac{ma}{V.R}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)

V.R = number of pulleys = 6

ma = \(\frac{\text{Load}}{\text{Effort}}\) = \(\frac{200}{50}\) = 4

Efficiency = \(\frac{4}{6}\) × 100 = 66.67%

444.

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A.

Molecules of a liquid are stationary

B.

Brownian motion is an evidence of particle nature of matter

C.

Matter is made up of molecules

D.

The molecules of matter are in constant motion

Correct answer is A

Molecules of liquid are not stationary
Brownian motion is an evidence of particle nature of matter
matter is made up of molecules
The molecules of matter are in constant motion

445.

A cell of internal resistance 2 π supplies current to a 6 π resistor. The efficiency of the cell is

A.

12.0%

B.

25.0%

C.

33.3%

D.

75.0%

Correct answer is C

Internal resistance determine the maximum current that can be supplied

Efficiency = \(\frac{r}{R}\) × 100

= \(\frac{2}{6}\) × 100

= 33.3%
