Electrical Circuit

  1. “Kirchhoff’s” law is preferred over Ohm’s law. Why?
  2. Can we apply Kirchhoff’s law to both a.c. and D.C.?
  3. Kirchhoff’s laws are related to certain conservation laws. Explain?
  4. “Wheatstone bridge method of determination of resistance is considered to be more accurate than the voltmeter-ammeter method”. Why?
  5. When the Wheatstone bridge most sensitive?
  6. Wheatstone bride is not suitable for measuring very low and very high resistances. Why?
  7. A meter bridge wire is called a slide wire bridge. Why?
  8. It is better to get null deflection at the middle of the wire in a meter bridge. Why?
  9. What is meant by end correction for the meter bridge? How it can be reduced?
  10. What is potentiometer? What is its principle?
  11. What is potential gradient? What is the significance of it? Why it should be small for more accurate measurement?
  12. The potentiometer wire should be long and of uniform thickness. Why?
  13. The sensitivity of potentiometer wire can be increased by increasing its length. But we are usually satisfied with 10 m long wire. Why?
  14. Which instrument will you prefer to measure the emf of a cell: a high resistance voltmeter or potentiometer? Explain?
  15. Why are Meter Bridge and P. O. Box so named?
  16. While using post office box it is instructed that the cell key should tapped first and then the galvanometer key. Why?
  17. Why should the cross section of wire be uniform?
  18. What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at balanced point of a wheatstone’s bridge? Would the galvanometer show any deflection?
  19. What advantage is there in measuring resistance by using wheatstone bridge?
  20. A potentiometer is equivalent to a voltmeter of infinite resistance. Explain?
  21. Can the potentiometer wire be of copper? Explain?
  22. How would you convince that the principle of measurement of resistance of wire by Meter Bridge is based on Wheatstone bridge principle? Explain?
  23. If the length of wire be doubled what will be the effect on the position of null deflection in a potentiometer?
  24. What is the advantage of using a greater length of potentiometer wire?
  25. In Wheatstone bridge method why do we break the galvanometer circuit first and then the battery circuit?
  26. Why the connection between resistors in Wheatstone bridge or Meter Bridge are made of thick copper wires?
  27. Can Meter Bridge be used for measuring very low resistances?
  28. Why the jockey should not be pressed against the potentiometer wire?
  29. The emf of the driver cell should always be greater than emf of the cell to be measured. Why?
  30. Can you interchange the positions of the battery in the auxiliary circuit and cell whose emf is to b determined in potentiometer circuit diagram?
  31. Why the current should not be passed through the potentiometer wire for long time?
  32. Is it possible that there is no potential between the plates of the cell? If yes, under what conditions?

Difference between Bilateral project and Multilateral projects

Bilateral project: If any project is run by a mutual agreement between two friendly nations than it is a bilateral project. Both countries have an agreement to produce goods and services by using certain resources. In general, the project is run by accepting foreign aids and grants. Aids or grants are provided to poor countries through these organizations. Such organizations are: JICA (Japan), USAID (USA), UFIO (UK), SDC (SWISS), GIZ (Germany), DANIDA (Danish), BICC ( Birendra International Convention Centre) of Kathmandu, etc. are examples.  Features of Bilateral projects:   This project is based on foreign aids and grants.  This is a mutual agreement between donor country and receiver country.  This project is generally service-oriented.  This projects generally depends upon a large scale projects.  This project helps in the infrastructural development of the country.  Advantages:  Grants  Economic development...

Brief review of UN, UNIDO, OECD and world bank project evaluation techniques

The UNO was formally established aiming at achieving to establish corporation and peace and to develop international cooperation between various nations of the world effectively in Oct. 24, 1945. The UNO was established as a powerful international organization for the development of different nations after the world war 1st and 2nd. This organization is doing its important works by spreading its helping hands even today in the field like education, health, social activities, culture, and science, etc. It has some agency:  World Bank  UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization)  OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development)  World Bank is a project evaluation technique of the world bank. It was established in Dec 27, 1945, Prime financial of organization of UNO. It was established to eliminate poverty and economic problems. The world bank applies the following techniques while monitoring and evaluating its loans prov...

Life Cycle Hypothesis

This theory was developed by Franca Modigliani, Nobel Laureate of 1985, Richard Brumberg and Albert Ando in 1950s and 1960s. It is called MBA hypothesis. According to this theory, consumption is a function of the lifetime expected income of the person. The consumption depends on the resources available to the person, the rate of return to the capital, the spending plan and the age at which the plan is made. It depends on:  i. Resources  ii. Spending plan  iii. Rate of return on capital  iv. The age at which the plan is made  According to Modigliani the point of departure of the life cycle model is the hypothesis that consumption and saving decision of household at each point of time reflects more or less conscious attempt to achieve the preferred distribution of consumption over the life cycle. Subject to the constraint imposed by the resources occurring to the household over...
