If the combined loss of electricity in the transmission and distribution network is 30%, then how much MW of generation is required when the total power requirement of a city is 3000MW?
- A.
2250 MW
- B.
3000 MW
- C.
4000 MW
- D.
4286 MW
Correct Answer
D. 4286 MWExplanation
The combined loss of electricity in the transmission and distribution network is 30%. This means that only 70% of the generated power reaches the city. To find out how much generation is required, we need to divide the total power requirement of the city (3000 MW) by 70% (0.7). This calculation gives us 4286 MW, which is the amount of generation required to meet the city's power demand after accounting for the 30% loss in the transmission and distribution network.Rate this question:

Approximately how much money would you save each year if you replace five incandescent bulbs of 60 Watt each with five LED bulbs of 10 Watt each? Assume that the lights are used for four hours a day for 365 days and the cost of energy per unit is Rs 5.
- A.
Rs‐1625
- B.
Rs‐725
- C.
Rs‐1825
- D.
Rs‐1025
Correct Answer
C. Rs‐1825Explanation
By replacing five incandescent bulbs of 60 Watt each with five LED bulbs of 10 Watt each, we can calculate the total energy savings. The energy savings per bulb is 60 - 10 = 50 Watts.
For each bulb, the daily energy savings would be 50 Watts x 4 hours = 200 Watt-hours.
For all five bulbs, the total daily energy savings would be 200 Watt-hours x 5 = 1000 Watt-hours or 1 kWh.
In a year, the total energy savings would be 1 kWh x 365 days = 365 kWh.
The cost of energy per unit is Rs 5, so the total cost savings would be 365 kWh x Rs 5 = Rs 1825.
Therefore, the correct answer is Rs‐1825.Rate this question:

What is the best method for reducing your personal computer's energy use?
- A.
Keep just one program running when you leave your desk
- B.
Put the computer in sleep mode or deactivate the screen saver
- C.
Close all open programs
- D.
Leave the computer on at all times
Correct Answer
B. Put the computer in sleep mode or deactivate the screen saverExplanation
Putting the computer in sleep mode or deactivating the screen saver is the best method for reducing a personal computer's energy use. When the computer is in sleep mode, it consumes less power as it temporarily shuts down most of its operations. Deactivating the screen saver also helps to conserve energy by preventing unnecessary power usage when the computer is idle. Keeping just one program running or closing all open programs may not significantly reduce energy consumption, and leaving the computer on at all times would consume the most energy.Rate this question:

It is essential to measure the cooling effect of an Air Conditioner (AC) to find out the present cooling capacity which is the tonnage of the AC. Which instrument we should use to measure the tonnage of AC.
- A.
Digital thermometer
- B.
Digital anemometer
- C.
Digital voltmeter
- D.
Both a and b
Correct Answer
D. Both a and bExplanation
To measure the tonnage of an AC, we need to measure both the temperature and the airflow. A digital thermometer is used to measure the temperature, while a digital anemometer is used to measure the airflow. By measuring both of these factors, we can determine the cooling effect and thus the tonnage of the AC. Therefore, both a digital thermometer and a digital anemometer should be used to measure the tonnage of an AC.Rate this question:

A car owner uses six liters of petrol each month. If he drives his vehicle at an economical speed, he can save 1-liter petrol each month. Then how much CO2 emission can be reduced in one year?
- A.
26.6 Kg
- B.
37.6 Kg
- C.
30.0 Kg
- D.
33.0 Kg
Correct Answer
A. 26.6 KgExplanation
The car owner uses 6 liters of petrol each month. If he drives at an economical speed, he can save 1 liter of petrol each month. In one year, there are 12 months, so the total amount of petrol saved in one year would be 12 liters (1 liter per month x 12 months = 12 liters). The emission of CO2 from burning one liter of petrol is approximately 2.2 kg. Therefore, the reduction in CO2 emissions in one year would be 12 liters x 2.2 kg/liter = 26.4 kg.Rate this question:

Which is the most economical way of increasing the light output from a lamp?
- A.
Replace the light with a new one
- B.
Replace with a more powerful light
- C.
Clean the light surface
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. Clean the light surfaceExplanation
Cleaning the light surface is the most economical way of increasing the light output from a lamp. Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface of the light, reducing its effectiveness and blocking the light from shining through. By cleaning the light surface, the accumulated dust and dirt can be removed, allowing more light to pass through and increasing the overall light output. This is a cost-effective solution as it does not require purchasing a new light or a more powerful one.Rate this question:

The house heats up during summer due to heating up of the walls and roof. We can reduce this heating process economically?
- A.
Using light coloured walls and painting the roof with reflecting paints
- B.
Covering the roof with insulating materials and planting trees to provide shades
- C.
Using more electricity energy to cool the house
- D.
Spraying cool water
Correct Answer
A. Using light coloured walls and painting the roof with reflecting paintsExplanation
Using light coloured walls and painting the roof with reflecting paints can help reduce the heating process economically. Light colours and reflective paints have higher solar reflectance, meaning they reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat compared to dark colours. This can help keep the walls and roof cooler, reducing the amount of heat transferred into the house. By implementing this method, less energy will be required for cooling the house, resulting in cost savings.Rate this question:

Do the so-called zero watt incandescent bulbs approximately consume the following power?
- A.
0
- B.
15
- C.
50
- D.
100
Correct Answer
B. 15Explanation
The so-called zero watt incandescent bulbs do not actually consume zero power, but they consume a very small amount of power. The correct answer is 15, as these bulbs consume approximately 15 watts of power. This is significantly lower than traditional incandescent bulbs, which typically consume much higher wattages. The term "zero watt" is used to indicate that these bulbs have a very low power consumption, but they still consume some amount of power.Rate this question:

Which of the following can be adopted for saving cooking gas?
- A.
Using a pressure cooker instead of an open vessel
- B.
Keeping rice, dal etc. in water soaked condition for some time before cooking
- C.
Using a small burner in place of a large burner
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
Using a pressure cooker instead of an open vessel can save cooking gas because the pressure cooker retains heat and steam, allowing food to cook faster and using less gas. Keeping rice, dal, etc. in water soaked condition before cooking can also save cooking gas as the grains become softer and cook faster, reducing the cooking time and gas usage. Using a small burner in place of a large burner can save cooking gas by reducing the amount of gas used for cooking. Therefore, all of the above options can be adopted to save cooking gas.Rate this question:

If machine ‘A’ delivers output equivalent to 700 watts and takes input power of 1000 watts, machine ‘B’ delivers an output of 1555 watts and takes input power of 2000 watts, then which machine is more efficient?
- A.
Machine A
- B.
Machine B
- C.
Both A and B
- D.
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
B. Machine BExplanation
Machine B is more efficient because it delivers a higher output (1555 watts) compared to Machine A (700 watts) while consuming a lower input power (2000 watts) compared to Machine A (1000 watts). Efficiency is measured by the ratio of output power to input power, and in this case, Machine B has a higher output-to-input power ratio, indicating greater efficiency.Rate this question:
