Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Switched Mode Power Supply.

• The full form of SMPS is Switched Mode Power Supply.

​Key Points

• SMPS or switched-mode power supply 
  • SMPS or switched-mode power supply is an electronic device that is used to convert AC to DC, AC to AC, DC to DC and DC to AC voltages. 
  • The circuit consists of a rectifier, voltage regulator transformer, and a filter. 
  • The input supply is turned On and Off by MOSFETs.
• Fundamentally, different types of circuits work with various kinds of power supplies such as SMPS.

Additional Information

The correct answer is Option(2).i.e.Alpha Decay.     

• In radioactivity, the emission consists of the Helium nucleus sustains under Alpha Decay. 
• Alpha Decay: 
  • It is basically responsible for the emission of the Helium nucleus. 
  • An alpha particle is consists of two neutrons & two protons which is the same as a helium nucleus.
  • We generally use 24He to implement an alpha particle which has a 2+ charge.
  • The original atomic number of the atom decreases by two (because of the loss of two protons), and its mass number decreases by four (because of the loss of four nuclear particles) when a radioactive atom throws down an alpha particle. 
• Emission of Alpha Particle: 
  •  The emission of an alpha particle can be present with a chemical equation: 
  • For example, the alpha-particle emission of uranium-235 is as follows:
       ²³⁵U₉₂→⁴He₂ + ²³⁵Th₉₀  

The Correct Answer is Option (2) i.e C.

• The C language is also known as the mother of all programming languages.
• C is a general-purpose programming language that is used for creating a variety of applications.
• C language was originally developed for writing operating systems. Unix Kernel and all of its supporting tools and libraries are written in C language.
• The C language is used for the following operations :
  • Operating systems
  • Development of new languages
  • Computation platforms
  • Embedded systems
  • Graphics and Games
• C++ and Java are the high-level languages and COBOL is a compiled English-like computer programming language.

CONCEPT:

• The battery has two terminals positive and negative and its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode.
  • It works on the principle of Electrochemical Reaction.
  • Italian physicist Alessandro Volta built and described the first electrochemical battery, the voltaic pile, in the year 1800.
  • The lead-acid batteries used in vehicles and lithium-ion batteries used for portable electronics such as laptops and mobile phones.

EXPLANATION:

• A battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy. So option 3 is correct.

The correct answer is In 1600.

• In 1600, the East India Company was established.

Key Points

•  The Governor and company of merchants of London trading into the East Indies, popularly known as the English East India Company, were formed in 1600 AD.
• Captain William Hawkins arrived at Jahangir’s court (1609 AD) to seek permission to open a factory in Surat. A Farman was issued by Jahangir, permitting the English to build a factory in Surat (1613 AD).
• Sir Thomas Roe visited Jahangir’s court (1615 AD) as an ambassador of King James I to seek permission to trade in India.

Additional Information

• The Dutch East India Company established factories in India at Masulipatnam in 1605 AD, Pulicat (1610 AD), Surat (1616 AD), Bimlipatam (1641 AD), Karaikal (1645 AD).
• The French East India Company was formed in 1664 AD by Colbert under state patronage during the reign of Louis XIV.
