What is principle of operation of exhaust fan? Explain the installation of exhaust fan in details. |
|
Answer» Exhaust fans work by sucking hot or humid air out of a small, localised area, allowing fresh air to enter from elsewhere (perhaps a doorway or vent) in order to replace it. The warm air that's drawn out using an exhaust fan is then pulled through a ducting system and expelled outside. How effective are exhaust fans: As these fans are only really effective in smaller rooms, one that is capable of moving approximately 2 cubic metres per second usually provides sufficient ventilation. For larger areas, a larger ventilation system may be more appropriate. Installation of exhaust fan: 1. Drill a reference hole and mark the ceiling. 2. Cut the intake-port hole. 3. Put the fan in position 4. Secure the fan to the joists 5. Find a suitable exit point for the duct pipe 6. Attach the vent cap 7. Wire the connections in the housing unit. 8. Attach the grille |

How is the vapour pressure of a solvent affected when a non volatile solute is dissolved in it? |
|
Answer» A non volatile solute particle lowers the vapour pressure of solvent because solute particles become surrounded by solvent particles when dissolved. This causes the particles of solvent to evaporate less because it requires more energy for the particles to do this since the solvent to solute attraction are strong. So the vapour pressure of a solution is less than that of the pure solvent. Vapour pressure depends on · Nature of liquid · Temperature · Presence of impurities |

Assume that helium obeys the Bohr theory exactly. Which of the following transitions in helium will not give rise to a spectral line which has the same wavelength as some spectral line in the hydrogen spectrum? (a) From n = 4 to n = 2 (b) From n = 6 to n = 2 (c) From n = 8 to n = 4 (d) From n = 6 to n = 3 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer is: (d) From n = 6 to n = 3 For a transition from n = p to n = q in hydrogen, the photon energy is ε1 = 13.6 (1/q2 - 1/p2) eV. For a transition from n = a to n = b in helium, the photon energy is ε2 = 4 x 13.6 (1/b2 - 1/a2) eV = 13.6 {(2/b)2 - (2/a)2} eV. For photons of the same energy to appear in the two spectra, 1/q2 - 1/p2 = (2/b)2 - (2a)2. This will be satisfied if b = 2q and a = 2p. |

The question has two statements labeled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct option from options given below.Assertion: If the net external force on the body is zero, then its acceleration is zero.Reason: Acceleration does not depend on force.1. A is correct but R is false.2. A is false but R is correct3. Both A and R are correct and R is the appropriate explanation of A4. Both A and R are correct but R is not an appropriate explanation of A |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : A is correct but R is false. According to Newton’s second law, Force = Mass × Acceleration Means; Acceleration = Force/ Mass If the net external force on the body is zero (F = 0) Then; The acceleration of a body is also zero. Because the Mass of the body is not changed. So, Acceleration always depends upon the force. Hence, A is correct but R is false. |
