A solar water heater cannot be used to get hot water on

  1. a sunny day

  2. a cloudy day

  3. a hot day

  4. a windy day
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A solar water heater cannot be used to get hot water on a cloudy day as there is no Sun which is necessary for the working of solar water heater.

State whether true or false :
While making food through solar cooker, vitamins of food get destroyed.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Solar cookers use thermal energy to cook food. While heat can affect some vitamins, the process does not inherently destroy all vitamins, and the statement is generally considered false in this context.

In parabolic solar cooker, the container of cooking is placed at the :

  1. Centre of curvature of mirror

  2. Focal point of the mirror

  3. Can be placed anywhere

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In parabolic solar cooker, the container of cooking is placed at the focal point of mirror so that all rays that are falling on solar cooker can converge to one point and produce large amount of heat energy.

The solar device used in traffic signal light, works on which of  the following principle?

  1. Conservation of momentum

  2. Doppler effect

  3. Photovoltaic effect

  4. Electromagnetic induction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The device used in traffic signal lights is Solar traffic light. are signalling devices powered by solar panels positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings and other locations to control the flows of traffic. 


Most solar traffic lights use LED lamps inside. These lamps work on the principle of Photovoltaic effect to work.
Hence correct answer is option C.

State whether true or false :
Water flows in a solar water heater due to the pressure difference between two ends of copper tube.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Water always flow due to pressure difference generated by heat in solar cooker.

True.

Multiple choice physics solar equipment production of electricity from solar energy solar power alternate sources of energy solar power plant solar energy and its applications renewable and non-renewable resources renewable and non-renewable sources of energy generation of electricity

State whether true or false :
Solar water heater requires a huge maintenance cost.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  1. Clean the glass cover regularly .
    2.Prevent nay shade of the collector.
    3. Be economical with the use of water.
    4.Run the hot water slowly ; this will avoid the mixing of hot and cold water in the storage tank.
    5.Set the thermostat of the electrical backup as low as is comfortable.

    So this what you have to do to maintain your solar cooker as you can see it will require very less cost for maintenance.

State whether true or false :
In order to increase the area absorbing heat energy, coil shaped copper tube is used. 

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The box contains copper tubes  bent in the form of a coil (zig-zag shape). This is done to increase the surface area  for absorbing heat.
