  • Q. Electricity is produced through dry cell from
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    The correct answer is chemical energy.

    Key Points

    • The dry cell is a type of electric battery which is used for portable electrical devices.
    • Electricity is produced through the dry cells from electrochemical energy. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
    • A common dry cell is a zinc-carbon cell.
    • The electrolyte is immobilized as a paste by a dry cell, with just enough humidity in it to allow current to flow.
    • Like a wet cell, a dry cell can work without spilling in any direction, because there is no free liquid in it.
    • The versatility makes it ideal for mobile devices.
    • The first wet-cell batteries, in comparison, were usually fragile glass containers featuring lead rods sticking from an open-top.
    • Hence, they required careful handling to prevent spillage.
    • The dry-cell battery development made a significant advance in battery safety and portability.
    • Batteries render electricity from chemical energy.
    • Batteries consist of one or more different parts, or cells, which contain an electrolyte called a chemical.
    • Every cell has two electrodes that are electrically conductive immersed in its electrolyte.
    • The electrodes consist of different materials; one releases electrons into the electrolyte, and the other absorbs them.
    • Once an electrical system is attached to the electrodes, an electrical current passes through it and supports its operation with electric power.
    • The energy contained in the dry cell is therefore in the form of chemical energy.

    Additional Information

    • Thermal energy
      • It is also called heat energy 
      • It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
      • The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
      • Thermal energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a temperature rise.
    • In physical sciences, mechanical energy
      • It is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
      • It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system.
      • The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant.
    • Nuclear power
      • It is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity.
      • Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion reactions.
      • Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.

    Which pair of protocols will use only single TCP connections between the same client and the server?

    Choose the most appropriate answer among the given pairs.

  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : D

    Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP):

    • HTTP is used to access data on the world wide web. HTTP functions as a combination of FTP and SMTP. HTTP uses the services of TCP port number 80. HTTP is a stateless protocol.
    • HTTP prior to version 1.1 specified a non-persistent connection, while a persistent connection is a default.
    • In a non-persistent connection, one TCP connection is made for each request/ response. The client opens a TCP connection and sends a request and server sends the response then closes the connection.


    File Transfer Protocol (FTP):

    • FTP stands for file transfer protocol. It is provided by TCP/IP for copying a file from one host to another. FTP can transfer a file through one of the following three modes: stream mode, block mode and compressed mode. Stream mode is the default mode.
    • FTP uses two TCP connections one for data and another for control.

    Simple Transfer Protocol (SMTP):

    • SMTP is a push protocol, it can push the messages from the client to the server only.
    • SMTP uses one TCP connection at a time


    TELNET:

    • TELNET is a client/ server application that allows a user to log on to a remote machine, giving the user access to the remote system.
    • TELNET uses one TCP connection at a time.

    Important Point:

    Option 1 is not correct since HTTP might have more than one TCP connections for a single web page.
