[QUOTE="gayankuwait, post: 9264795, member: 312790"] [B][SIZE=6][COLOR=darkred]INTERVIEW[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=red]Sub: electrical Engineering[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4][B][B][B]People come up with peculiar or funny answers in interviews or exams: [COLOR=red]Interviewer:[/COLOR] Why is a thicker conductor necessary to carry a current in A.C. as compared to D.C. ? [COLOR=red]Candidate: [/COLOR]An AC current goes up and down (drawing a sinusoid) and requires more space inside the wire, so the wire has to be thicker. [COLOR=red]Interviewer: [/COLOR]How will you tell if that wall outlet carries AC or DC ? [COLOR=red]Candidate:[/COLOR] I will put my finger in. If it is pushed away, it is DC. If it gets stuck, it was AC. [COLOR=red]Interviewer:[/COLOR] How will you reverse direction of an induction motor? [COLOR=red]Candidate:[/COLOR] I will remove the four bolts at the base, turn the motor around, and put back the bolts. [COLOR=red]Interviewer:[/COLOR] How do you start a synchronous motor? [COLOR=red]Candidate:[/COLOR] Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in rising pitch) [COLOR=red]Interviewer:[/COLOR] Stop! Stop! [COLOR=red]Candidate:[/COLOR] rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in falling pitch) [COLOR=red]Interviewer:[/COLOR] How do you limit surge current within an integrated circuit? [COLOR=red]Candidate:[/COLOR] By using a miniature circuit breaker. [COLOR=red]External (to student) :[/COLOR] " Why does a capacitor block DC but allow AC to pass through? [COLOR=red]Student:[/COLOR] See, a capacitor is like this ---| |--- , OK. DC Comes straight, like this ----------, and the capacitor stops it. But AC,goes UP, DOWN, Up DOWN and jumps right over the capacitor!" [COLOR=red]Examiner :[/COLOR] "What is a step-up transformer?" [COLOR=red]Student :[/COLOR] "A transformer that is put on top of electric poles." [COLOR=red]Examiner (smiling):[/COLOR] "And then what is a step-down transformer?" [COLOR=red]Student (hesitantly):[/COLOR]"Uh - A transfomer that is put in the basement or in a pit?" [COLOR=red]Examiner (pouncing):[/COLOR] "Then what do you call a transformer that is installed on the ground?" (student knows he is caught -- can't answer) [COLOR=red]Examiner (impatiently): [/COLOR]"Well?" [COLOR=red]Student (triumphantly): [/COLOR]"A stepless transformer, sir!"[/B][/B][/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
