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.

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.

Answer : 1. "parallel to the supply"
Explanation :
In an AC circuit, magnetic reversal due to phase difference between current and voltage occurs 50 or 60 times per second. A capacitor helps to improve the power factor by relieving the supply line of the reactive power.

Answer : 2. "increases"
Explanation :
At high temperatures, the tungsten filament gets hot and atoms in the filament vibrate more. The electrons in the current now collide more with the atoms & more energy is needed to push the current through the filament. Hence, the resistance of tungsten increases with temperature.
