    Ideally, electricity can travel at this speed. - ProProfs

    Ideally, electricity can travel at this speed.

    • Speed of Clouds

    • Speed of Air

    • Speed of Sound

    • Speed of Light

    Correct Answer
    A. Speed of Light
    Explanation
    Electricity can travel at the speed of light. This is because electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, and electrons move at incredibly high speeds. The speed of light is considered the fastest speed in the universe, traveling at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Therefore, it is ideal to say that electricity can travel at the speed of light.

    It is the only particle of an atom that has no charge. - ProProfs

    It is the only particle of an atom that has no charge.

    • Neutron

    • Proton

    • Electron

    • Megatron

    Correct Answer
    A. Neutron
    Explanation
    The neutron is the only particle of an atom that has no charge. It is located in the nucleus along with the positively charged protons. The neutron is neutral because it contains no electrical charge, unlike the proton which has a positive charge and the electron which has a negative charge. This lack of charge allows the neutron to interact with other particles in unique ways, contributing to the stability and behavior of the atom.

    These kitchen appliances are the most power-hungry in the home. - ProProfs

    These kitchen appliances are the most power-hungry in the home.

    • Microwave Ovens

    • Oven Toasters

    • Refrigerators

    • Blenders

    Correct Answer
    A. Refrigerators
    Explanation
    Refrigerators are the most power-hungry kitchen appliances because they are constantly running to maintain a cool temperature and keep food fresh. They require a significant amount of electricity to power the compressor, fan, and other components that regulate the temperature inside. On the other hand, microwave ovens, oven toasters, and blenders do not consume as much power as refrigerators since they are used for shorter periods of time and have smaller motors or heating elements.

    A device that converts DC to AC is called - ProProfs

    A device that converts DC to AC is called

    • Inverter

    • Converter

    • Alternator

    • Generator

    Correct Answer
    A. Inverter
    Explanation
    An inverter is a device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It is commonly used in applications where AC power is required, such as in homes or businesses that use solar panels or batteries. Inverters are designed to provide a steady and reliable source of AC power by converting the DC power from a battery or other DC source into AC power that can be used to operate various electrical devices. Therefore, an inverter is the correct answer for a device that converts DC to AC.

    A transducer that converts electric signals into sounds. - ProProfs

    A transducer that converts electric signals into sounds.

    • Speaker

    • Microphone

    • Amplifier

    • Crossover

    Correct Answer
    A. Speaker
    Explanation
    A speaker is a transducer that converts electric signals into sounds. When an electric current passes through the speaker's coil, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the coil to move back and forth. This movement produces vibrations in the speaker cone, which in turn creates sound waves that can be heard by our ears. Therefore, a speaker is the correct answer as it is specifically designed to convert electric signals into audible sounds.
