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.

Let A = \(\begin{pmatrix}2&-2\\1&-1\end{pmatrix}\) and B =\(\begin{pmatrix}-1&2\\-1&2\end{pmatrix}\)Then the number of elements in the set {(n,m) : n,m \(\in\){1,2,.....,10} and nAn + mBm = 1 is ____

Answer»

Correct answer is 1

A2 = A and B2 = B

Therefore equation nAn + mBm = I becomes

nA + mB = I, which gives m = n = 1

Only one set possible

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.

18005.

By increasing the temperature, the specific resistance of a conductor and a semiconductor- (i) increases for both. (ii) decreases for both. (iii) increases for a conductor and decreases for a semiconductor. (iv) decreases for a conductor and increases for a semiconductor.

Answer»

Answer is (iii) increases for a conductor and decreases for a semiconductor.

Specific resistance of a conductor increases and for a semiconductor decreases with increase in temperature because for a conductor, a temperature. 

coefficient of resistivity α = + ve 

and for a semiconductor, α = -ve

What precautions should be taken while working in high tritium areas?

Answer»

Use respirators, plastic suits, VP suits if concentration of tritium is very high. Avoid getting hurt while working because tritium may go through the skin by sweat to the blood. If by chance there is tritium intake in the body drink lots of fluids.

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.
