    Which of these elements is used in making pencil?  - ProProfs

    Which of these elements is used in making pencil? 

    • Radon

    • Lead

    • Tin

    • Zinc

    Correct Answer
    A. Lead
    Explanation
    Lead is the correct answer because it is the primary element used in making pencils. The graphite core of a pencil is made by mixing powdered graphite with clay and a binder, and then encasing it in a wooden barrel. The use of lead in pencils is a common misconception, as lead was historically used in the past, but it has been replaced by graphite due to its toxicity.

    What is the function of an acid in a car battery? - ProProfs

    What is the function of an acid in a car battery?

    • Electron

    • Anion

    • Electrolyte

    • Electrode

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrolyte
    Explanation
    The function of an acid in a car battery is to act as an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted. In a car battery, the acid (usually sulfuric acid) dissociates into ions, allowing the flow of electric current between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. This process is essential for the battery to generate and store electrical energy, which is then used to power the car's electrical systems.

    Who invented electricity? - ProProfs

    Who invented electricity?

    • Isaac Newton

    • Galileo Galilea

    • Charles Babbage

    • Michael Faraday

    Correct Answer
    A. Michael Faraday
    Explanation
    Michael Faraday is credited with discovering the principles of electromagnetic induction, which laid the foundation for the generation of electricity. He conducted numerous experiments and made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism. Faraday's work led to the development of electric generators and transformers, revolutionizing the way electricity is generated and utilized. Therefore, he is considered the inventor of electricity.

    Which of these is a metalloid? - ProProfs

    Which of these is a metalloid?

    • Silicon

    • Radon

    • Xenon

    • Arsenic

    Correct Answer
    A. Silicon
    Explanation
    Silicon is a metalloid because it exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals. It is a semiconductor, meaning it can conduct electricity under certain conditions but not as effectively as metals. Silicon is also brittle like nonmetals, but it can form alloys with metals. Additionally, it has a shiny appearance like metals. Therefore, silicon is classified as a metalloid.

    Which of these generations of computer used vacuum tube?  - ProProfs

    Which of these generations of computer used vacuum tube? 

    • Fourth

    • Third

    • First

    • Second

    Correct Answer
    A. First
    Explanation
    The first generation of computers used vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes were large glass tubes that controlled the flow of electricity in early computers. They were used as switches and amplifiers for electronic signals. However, vacuum tubes were bulky, consumed a lot of power, and generated a significant amount of heat. These limitations led to the development of smaller and more efficient transistor-based computers in later generations.

    Which of these gases is used in the ripening of fruits? - ProProfs

    Which of these gases is used in the ripening of fruits?

    • Propyne

    • Ethane

    • Ethene

    • Ethyne

    Correct Answer
    A. Ethyne
    Explanation
    Ethyne, also known as acetylene, is used in the ripening of fruits. When ethyne gas is released in a closed environment with unripe fruits, it accelerates the ripening process by triggering the production of a plant hormone called ethylene. Ethylene is responsible for various physiological changes in fruits, including softening, color change, and aroma development. This process is commonly used in the agricultural industry to control the ripening of fruits and ensure a consistent supply to the market.
