91. Heating element of an electric heater is made up of___________?
- A. Tungsten
- B. Graphite
- C. Chromium
- D. Nichrome
Explanation: Electric heaters use nichrome, an alloy with high electrical resistance and a high melting point. Its resistance converts electrical energy into heat without melting quickly.
Correct answer: Nichrome92. Telephone was invented by__________?
- A. Vint Cerf
- B. Charles Babbage
- C. Edison
- D. Alexander Graham Bell
Explanation: Alexander Graham Bell is credited with inventing and patenting the practical telephone in 1876. Edison made major contributions to electrical technology but was not the telephone's inventor.
Correct answer: Alexander Graham Bell93. UPS is now widely use in households. What does UPS stands for ?
- A. Uniform Power Storage
- B. Universal Product Support
- C. Under Panel Storage
- D. Uninterruptible Power Supply
Explanation: UPS means Uninterruptible Power Supply, a device that provides temporary backup electricity when the main supply fails. It also helps protect equipment from some voltage disturbances.
Correct answer: Uninterruptible Power Supply94. Which element is used as moderator in nuclear reactor?
- A. Light water
- B. Dense water
- C. Fresh water
- D. Heavy water
Explanation: Heavy water is used as a moderator in some nuclear reactors because its deuterium slows fast neutrons while absorbing relatively few of them. Light water can also moderate certain reactors, so the question is simplified but d is the intended choice.
Correct answer: Heavy water95. Battery was invented by__________?
- A. Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot
- B. Alessandro Volta
- C. Michael Faraday
- D. Friedrich Bessel
Explanation: Alessandro Volta made the first practical chemical battery, the voltaic pile, in 1800. Faraday later established important laws of electromagnetic induction, but he did not invent the battery.
Correct answer: Alessandro Volta96. who invented bulb?
- A. Philips
- B. Robert
- C. Edison
- D. Willium
Explanation: Thomas Edison is commonly credited in general-knowledge questions with inventing the practical incandescent electric bulb. Earlier inventors produced experimental bulbs, but Edison developed a durable, commercially useful version.
Correct answer: Edison97. "Elephant" large unit of paper measurement equal to 28 by__________
- A. 23 inches
- B. 25 inches
- C. 28 inches
- D. 31 inches
Explanation: Elephant paper is a large traditional paper size measuring 28 by 23 inches. The name refers to the sheet size, not to a physical property of paper.
Correct answer: 23 inches98. Fuzzy logic is a part of_________________?
- A. Aristotle's philosophy
- B. Computer science
- C. Epicurianism
- D. Sophism
Explanation: Fuzzy logic is a computing method that handles degrees of truth rather than only true-or-false values, making it useful in control systems and artificial intelligence. The philosophical options are unrelated schools of thought.
Correct answer: Computer science99. An extremely small piece of silicon on which integrated circuits are implicated is called __________________?
- A. Card Reader
- B. Hollerith Code
- C. Feed
- D. Chip
Explanation: A chip is a small piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon, containing an integrated circuit. Card readers and Hollerith codes are data-processing devices or methods, not the silicon component itself.
Correct answer: Chip100. Intrinsic Semi-conductor is also known as__________?
- A. Impure-Conductor
- B. Pure-Conductor
- C. Simple Conductor
- D. None of these
Explanation: An intrinsic semiconductor is made from a chemically pure semiconductor material, without intentional impurity doping. Hence it is commonly called a pure semiconductor, not a simple conductor.
Correct answer: Pure-Conductor
