Answer : 1. "Titanus"
Explanation :

All of these diseases are caused by bacteria i.e. Pneumonia, Cholera, Tuberculosis. Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell division. Pneumonia is caused by a bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. Cholera is caused by a bacterium Vibrio cholerae.


Q:

Answer : 1. "heating resistance"
Explanation :

The correct answer is Resistance Heating. Resistance heating is based on the I2R effect and is highly resistive in nature that's why it has the maximum power factor. Electric resistance heating is defined as “the heat produced by passing an electric current through a material that preferably has high resistance”.

Answer : 3. "Echinoderms"
Explanation :

The option that is not a seafood fish of India is:

(C) Echinoderms

Explanation:

Echinoderms, such as sea cucumbers and starfish, are not fish. They belong to a different phylum (Echinodermata) and are not typically consumed as seafood fish.

On the other hand:

Surmai is a type of kingfish and is a seafood fish commonly found in Indian waters.

Udanmin appears to be a misspelling, and without clarification, it's not clear what specific fish it refers to.

Hilsa is a type of herring and is a well-known and widely consumed seafood fish in India.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is (C) Echinoderms.

Q:

Answer : 1. "Moving"
Explanation :

In a generator, a rotating magnetic field is used to produce electrical energy. When a conductor, such as a wire, moves through a magnetic field, a voltage is induced across the conductor. This is known as electromagnetic induction, and it is the fundamental principle behind how generators work.

Q:

Capacity when connecting capacitors to series?

  • 1
    neither increases nor decreases
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 2
    increases
    Correct
    Wrong
  • 3

Answer : 2. "increases"
Explanation :

A capacitor stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field between its plates. Increasing the size of the plates increases the capacitance because there is more room for the electrons to escape.

Q:

What is the coupling of primary and secondary coils in a transformer?

1265 0

  • 1

Answer : 3. "Magnetic"
Explanation :

The secondary coil is also generating a magnetic field that is growing and shrinking just like the field in the primary coil. This coupling of magnetic energy between these two coils is called mutual induction.

Answer : 3. "in conduit wiring"
Explanation :

Most building codes require ceiling fans to be mounted on special fan-rated boxes made of metal or strong plastic with deep-threaded holes for the mounting screws. The box must be mounted firmly by attaching it directly to a framing member or using a fan-rated brace.
