Replace power strip electrical cords, when

Replace power strip electrical cords, when Correct Answer They show any sign of discoloration.

Explanation:

Electrical Safety

  • Electrical problems are one of the top causes of structure fires and fire deaths. 

Electrical safety tips:

  • Avoid overloading outlets. Plug only one high-wattage appliance into each outlet at a time.
  • Never use an extension cord with a major appliance or space heater – it can be easily over loaded. Plug appliance directly into a wall outlet.
  • If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips often, lights flicker or dim, or outlets or switches feel warm, have a qualified electrician inspect and fix the problem.
  • Use lamp bulbs that match the lamp's recommended wattage (there is usually a sticker on the lamp).
  • Power strips with circuit breakers can be useful tools to temporarily plug several items into an electrical outlet, but if used incorrectly they can cause a fire. The use of power strips and multi-plug outlets increases the draw of electricity through your home's wiring. Before creating additional electrical demand, ensure that your wiring is in good repair and capable of carrying the additional load. Replace power strip electrical cords, when the cord is cracked, frayed, or discolored.

In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: Transformers can also be used for isolation, where the voltage in equals the voltage out, with separate coils not electrically bonded to one another. B: Transformers are most commonly used for increasing low AC voltages at high current (a step-up transformer) or decreasing high AC voltages at low current (a step-down transformer) in electric power applications. C: It was discovered in 1831. D: A transformer is a passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another.

Facts: 'X', an electrical engineer, was invited by his friend 'Y', to the factory where he was employed. While they were in the factory, 'Q' a worker in the factory informed 'Y' about some short-circuit in the power room. Hearing this, 'Y' asked 'X' to stay in the office room and rushed to the power room. 'X' however, decided to follow 'Y'. 'X' noticed that if the power supply through a particular electric line could be disconnected, the electrical leakage could be stopped which would prevent further damage. Suddenly 'X' decided to pullout the wire manually even though it was risky. This resulted in a blast in which both 'X' and 'Y' got injured. 'X' had to spend Rs. 1 lakh at the hospital for his treatment. 'X' wants to file a suit for compensation from the management of the factory. Will he succeed?
Below stated are some of the statements about the Alternating current. You need to identify which of the following is incorrect, 1. DC power is far more powerful than AC power. The efficiency and power to size characteristics of DC motors and apparatuses are increased. Lighting by DC (LED) is 75% more efficient than lighting from incandescence. 2. A comparatively high voltage alternating current may be generated and easily raised and dropped by the static equipment known as the transformer, which makes electrical energy transmission and distribution economical, 3. Initial costs and maintenance of the AC motor are less expensive since it has no switch and is less powerful than the DC motor for constant working speed, hence it is desired to create power as alternating current. 4. The great efficiency of transmission in ac makes electric power generation cost-effective, Produced in huge quantities in one station and distributed throughout a vast area.
