What does Ohm's Law states?

Answer»

In a closed electrical circuit, current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance at constant temperature. 

 I= V/R. Where I= Current, V= Voltage & R= Resistance

25956.

What is Voltage? 

Answer»

Voltage is the difference in potential (charge) between two points or voltage is the amount of driving force or pressure applied to a circuit, it is measured in Volts (V). 

25957.

What is Resistance? 

Answer»

The resistance of a circuit is the circuit's opposition to the movement of electrons. A resistor restricts or limits the amount of current flowing in a electrical circuit, it is measured in Ohm (Ω). 

Series Resistor: When resistors are connected in series they have one point in common. The total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistors. 

R tot = R1 + R2 + R3 

The current in a series circuit is the same in each component of the circuit because the current must flow through each resistor in series to get to the next resistor. I tot = I1 = I2 = I3

 The applied voltage divides across each component in a circuit in proportion to the resistance of the component. V tot = V1 + V2 + V

Parallel Resistor: When resistors are connected in parallel, they have two points in common. The total resistance of parallel resistors is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocal of the individual resistors. R tot of a parallel circuit is called the equivalent resistance, R eq =  1/R 1 + 1/R 2 +1/R 3

Fresh milk has a pH of 6, as it turns into curd the pH will:1. Not be measured2. Not change3. Decrease4. None 

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Decrease

The correct answer is Decrease.

  • pH is a scale used to determine the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

  • The pH scale indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.
  • Solution with a pH less than 7 is considered acidic.
  • Solution with a pH greater than 7 is considered basic or alkaline.
  • Solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral For e.g. pure water.
  • The pH value of milk is 6 because it is acidic in nature.

  • When the milk is converted into curd, lactic acid is formed which is more acidic in nature.
  • Therefore, the pH value of the milk decreases as it turns to curd.

What is Power? 

Answer»

Power is a rate of doing work, or works done per unit in time. The unit for measuring power is the Watt (W). Power in watts is equal to the product of the applied voltage and the current flowing. Stated algebraically, P = I E  

25962.

What is Inductance? 

Answer»

The property of a coil that opposes a change in the current flow is called inductance. The inductance of a coil depends on four factors: 

1) The number of turns (windings) in the coil. Inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns in the coil. 

2) The diameter of the coil. The larger the diameter of the coil, the higher the inductance. 

3) The permeability (ability to become magnetized) of the core material.

4) The length of the coil. The shorter the coil, the higher the inductance. 

25963.

What is Inductor? 

Answer»

Inductors use the ability of electrical current to create a magnetic field. If a voltage is applied to a coil of wire, the current flowing in the coil will cause a magnetic field to develop. The more times the wire is coiled and the more current there is in the coil, the greater the strength of the magnetic field. Its unit is Henry, normally in milli Henry (mH). 

25964.

What is a Capacitor? 

Answer»

When two conductors are placed side by side, separated by a nonconductive material, and connected across a battery, free electrons drift in the direction of the driving voltage is called capacitor. Its unit is farad, normally in micro farad (µf) or Pico farad (pf).

A sinusoidally alternating current of frequency 60 Hz has a maximum value of 15 A. Find the value of current after 1/200 second

Answer»

Given maximum current Imax = 15 A

frequency of alternating current = 60 Hz

t = 1/200 sec

We know that I = Imax sin 2π ft

I = 15 sin 2π x 60 x t

I = 15 sin 120π x 1/200

I = 15 sin 3π/5

I = 15 x 0.95

I = 14.25 A

Male education is better than female education

Answer»

Men are more likely to be literate on a global average, although women are more prevalent at reading in some countries. Men and women find themselves having gender differences when attaining their educational goals.

Men tended to receive more education than women in the past, but the gender gap in education has reversed in recent decades in most Western countries and many nonwestern countries.

Male education is better than female because male is free to every work they have so much time on studying and they can go anywhere for study to better teacher while female want security and they work in home whole day they have no time for study they have many problems for her family they cannot go any where to learn by better teachers.

what do you mean by poor heredity in easy words i need easy meaning only 

Answer»

Heredity refers to the genotype (genetic makeup) of an organism. The study of heredity is called genetics and Gregor Mendel is considered to be a founder of this branch of science. He worked with the garden pea and did years of research involving traits like height, seed shape and flower color, among others.

Heredity influences several factors that contribute to fitness, such as body size and muscle fiber composition. Whether we are tall or short is determined by heredity.

Heredity is important to all living organisms as it determines which traits are passed from parent to child. Successful traits are more frequently passed along and over time can change a species. Changes in traits can allow organisms to adapt to specific environments for better rates of survival.

Cholecystokinin is a hormone which when injected in human body1. Increases appetite2. Increases appetite and thirst3. Decreases appetite4. Decreases appetite and thirst

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Decreases appetite

A hormone is a chemical that acts as a messenger transmitting a signal from one cell to another. Hormones can be classified according to chemical composition, solubility properties, location of receptors, and the nature of the signal used to mediate hormonal action within the cell.

  • Cholecystokinin is a hormone that is released after a meal. It plays a key role in facilitating digestion within the small intestine. 
  • It seems to be involved with appetite by increasing the sensation of fullness in the short-term, that is, during a meal rather than between meals.
  • Cholecystokinin stimulates the release of bile juices from the liver and gall bladder which improves digestion.
  • It regulates the movement of food through the stomach that helps in the effective absorption of nutrients from the food.
  • During this process, the human body feels satiated/full and does not feel hunger. Thus, the release of cholecystokinin hormone decreases the appetite.

Thus, it is concluded that Cholecystokinin is a hormone which when injected into the human body decreases appetite.

Explain four methods used for purification of crude metal or refining of crude metal.

Answer»

(1) The process of obtaining the pure metal from the impure metal is called refining of the metal. 

(2) Some of the processes of refining are : 

(i) Distillation 

(ii) Poling 

(iii) Liquation 

(iv) Electrolytic refining. 

(3) The process that has to be adopted for purification of a given metal depends on the nature of the metal and its impurities.

(i) Distillation : This method is very useful for purification of low boiling metals like zinc (Zn) and mercury (Hg) containing high boiling metals as impurities. The extracted metal in the molten state is distilled to obtain the pure metal as distillate.

(ii) Poling : The molten metal is stirred with logs of green wood. The impurities are removed either as gases or they get oxidised and form sum (slag) over the surface of the molten metal. Blister copper is purified by this method.

(iii) Liquation : In this method, a low melting metal like Tin can be made to flow on a slope surface to separate it from high melting impurities. 

(iv) Electrolytic refining : 

(1) In this method, the impure metal is made to act as anode. 

(2) A strip of the same metal in pure form is used as cathode. 

(3) They are put in a suitable electrolytic bath containing soluble salt of the same metal. 

(4) The required metal gets deposited on the cathode in the pure form.

(5) The metal constituting impurity, goes as the anode mud.

The reactions are :

At anode : M→ Mn + + n.e– 

At cathode : Mn+ + n.e→ M

(M = pure metal, n = 1, 2, 3, .......)

10 g of a mixture of CaCl2 and NaCl is treated to precipitate all the calcium as CaCO3. This CaCO3 is heated to convert all the Ca to CaO and the final mass of CaO is 1.68 g. The percentage by mass of CaCl2 in the original mixture is what?

Answer»

The reactions are: 
 CaCl2 + Na2CO3  = CaCO3  + 2NaCl       
 CaC03 + heat = CaO + CO2 

1 mole of CaO is formed from 1 mole CaCO3 
1 mole of CaCO3 is formed from 1 mole of CaCl2 
Mole ratio of CaO to CaCl2 is 1: 1 
Moles of CaO formed = mass/molar mass = 1.68/56=0.03mol 
Moles of CaCl2 = 0.03mol 
Mass of CaCl2 = 0.03 * 111 = 3.33g 
The total mass of the mixture of calcium chloride(CaCl2) and sodium chloride(NaCl) given as 10g,
So, the % mass of CaCl2 in the original mixture is  = 33.3 %

What are the methods for improving milk production and quality of milk in a dairy farm?

Answer»

Following are the methods to improving milk production and its quality:

(1) Rapidly identify mastitis problems:

Farms that consistently produces high quality milk have methods to monitor herd performonce. The rate of both clinicel and subslinical mastitis infections are very often unknown to the miking manager. A clearly defined monitoring system should be in place.

(2) Milk Clean Cows: Many studies have demonstrated that cleanliness is a good predictor of herd milk. On many dairy farms, Cows are exposed to can tangious Mastitis bacteria during the milking process.

(3) Standarsise the Milking Routine: Achieving a consistent, good rootine ls a key to quality milk. Because different milkers on the same form often follow different routines. To avoid this milking rootines should be written down and posted in the milking area. The wriging of the routine emphasises the importance of the concept of milking routine and milk quality to both manager & staff.

(4) Train Staff: Inresting in and improving employees is a smart management strategy that will reward in better job performance.

(5) Hare treatment protocols: There should be a treatments protocals which define standard treatment for mastitis.

(6) Maintain & Update the milking system: A properly functioning milking system is essential for the production of high quality milk.

(7) Buy only healthy lows: Buy only healthy cattle. Young nonleactating heifers are a minimum risk.

(8) Use Dry low therapy: The dry period is a critical time for the development of mastitis. All cows receive dry cow therapy and subsequently be checked regularly and cow accommodation must be maintained well.

(9) Monitoring the size and Crowdeness of the herd
