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: Nichrome

92. 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 Bell

93. 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 Supply

94. 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 water

95. 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 Volta

96. 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: Edison

97. "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 inches

98. 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 science

99. 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: Chip

100. 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
