36. Which of the following does not have negative temperature co-efficient ?





ANSWER= (A) Aluminum 

 

37. Siemens or Mho (℧) is the unit of ____________?





ANSWER= (C) Both 1 & 2
Explain:- SI unit of Conductance (G) is Siemens (S) or Mho (℧) and Admittance (Y) is the inverse/reciprocal of Impedance(Z). but we also know that impedance(Z) is resistance in AC Circuits. So both of (R) and (Z) are Resistances. Therefore the reciprocal/inverse of R and Z = G and Y respectively. And G and Y are same. So the SI unit of these Quantities ( G and Y ) = Siemens (S) or (or Mho (℧).
