Energy and Electrical Devices Questions

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. hydelpowerWave technology

  2. powerWave technology

  3. Thermopower wave technology

  4. Thermalpowerwave technology

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Thermopower wave technology uses carbon nanotubes to create powerful thermal waves that can generate electrical energy, enabling tiny batteries with large capacity. This emerging nanotechnology converts heat directly into electrical energy through rapid thermal wave propagation along nanotube structures.

Multiple choice technology performance
  1. Analyser

  2. Controller

  3. Generator

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In LoadRunner, the Generator is responsible for creating load on the system under test. It runs Vusers (virtual users) that simulate real user activity. The Controller orchestrates the test, while the Analyzer examines results afterward.

Multiple choice technology
  1. Unitterrupted power supply

  2. univake power supply

  3. unieke power sysytem

  4. other

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply (note: standard spelling is 'Uninterruptible', not 'Unitterrupted'). A UPS provides emergency power to connected equipment when main power fails, using batteries. The correct option A has a spelling error but is conceptually right. Option C 'unieke' appears to be a misspelling of 'unique'.

Multiple choice technology
  1. Active/ Connected

  2. Passive/ Connected

  3. Passive/ Unconnected

  4. Active or Passive depends of the session property/Connected

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is B (Passive/Connected) because a Sequence Generator transformation is Passive (it doesn't change the number of rows passing through it) and Connected (it must be connected to the data flow - it cannot be used unconnected like a Lookup transformation). It generates sequence values but doesn't filter, aggregate, or otherwise modify the row count.

Multiple choice technology performance
  1. a.Load injector

  2. b.Load Controller

  3. c.Load supplier

  4. d. Load inductor

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A load generator is the machine/component that injects load into the system by simulating virtual users. It is synonymously called a load injector because it injects the load into the application under test.

Multiple choice technology
  1. Transducer

  2. Transistor

  3. Manometer

  4. Convertor

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A transducer is defined as a device that converts one form of energy into another form of energy. Examples include microphones (acoustic to electrical), speakers (electrical to acoustic), and sensors (physical to electrical). This is the fundamental definition in measurement and instrumentation systems.

Multiple choice technology
  1. charged once

  2. used once

  3. recharged over and over

  4. stored indefinitely

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Primary batteries are single-use batteries that cannot be recharged once their chemical energy is depleted. They must be disposed of or recycled after use. Secondary batteries like lithium-ion or lead-acid can be recharged and used multiple cycles.

Multiple choice technology
  1. solar cell

  2. fuel cell

  3. primary battery

  4. secondary battery

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Lead-acid batteries are rechargeable, making them secondary batteries. They can undergo multiple charge/discharge cycles through reversible chemical reactions between lead dioxide and sponge lead electrodes in sulfuric acid electrolyte.

Multiple choice
  1. Bath taps

  2. Kitchen gas burners

  3. Utensils

  4. Cupboards

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, it is correct. Cupboards are not electroplated. Electroplating is widely used to plate metal objects with a thin layer of other metal to protect it from corrosion, abrasions and wear resistance, etc.

Multiple choice
  1. Only a and b

  2. Only b and c

  3. Only c

  4. Only a and c

  5. Only b

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer as both these energies are produced. When electric current is passed through a bulb, the temperature of the filament rises above 1500 degree Celsius. This in turn produces heat energy and light energy. 

Multiple choice
  1. hydel

  2. nuclear

  3. thermal

  4. others

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In India's power generation mix, thermal power plants (coal, gas, oil) contribute the maximum share of electricity generation. While hydel and nuclear are important, thermal power has historically been and remains the dominant source, meeting the majority of India's energy demand.

Multiple choice
  1. thermal electricity

  2. atomic energy

  3. hydel electricity

  4. tidal energy

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Electricity generated from radioactive elements through nuclear fission is called atomic energy or nuclear energy. Thermal electricity uses heat from fossil fuels, hydel electricity harnesses water power, and tidal energy uses ocean tides. Radioactive elements like uranium are used as fuel in nuclear power plants.
