If A and B are symmetric matrices, such that AB and BA are both defined, then prove that AB- BA is a skew-symmetric matrix. |
|
Answer» Since A & B are symmetric matrices A = A’ & B = B’ To prove (AB – BA)’ = – (AB – BA) L.H.S = (AB – BA)’ (AB)’ – (BA)’ = B’A’-A’B’ = BA – AB = – (AB – BA) = R.H.S Thus proved. |

We use alloys for making standard resistors because they have (i) low temperature coefficient of resistivity and high specific resistance (ii) high temperature coefficient of resistivity and low specific resistance (iii) low temperature coefficient of resistivity and low specific resistance (iv) high temperature coefficient of resistivity and high specific resistance |
|
Answer» Answer is (i) low temperature coefficient of resistivity and high specific resistance Alloys have low temperature coefficient of resistivity and high specific resistance. If α = low , the value of ‘R’ with temperature will not change much and specific resistance is high then required length of the wire will be less. |

What is ice plugging? |
|
Answer» If there is a need to repair a valve of D20 PHT system, there are no other valves to shut of D20. So we use plastic bags on pipes and it has dry ice. Then liquid nitrogen is poured inside the bag. Due to the low temperature the D20 inside pipeline solidifies preventing any flow of D20 when valve is removed. This is called the ice plugging. |
