Q1 Arefrigerator has a marked voltage of 200 V. What will happen if the voltagesupplied is 50 V? A1 RogerFentiman Doing lighting for 50 years December 5,2018 Our supply network accidentallyperformed this experiment in our village a few years ago - the supply wassupposed to be 240 volts, but measured around 60 volts for an hour or so. What happened wasthey had to replace a large number of refrigerators and freezers. There was sufficientvoltage to heat the motor coils, but not enough to start the motors anddissipate the heat around the system, so they burned out. Not all of them, buta sizeable fraction.

Q3 ShouldBengaluru -Mysore become twin cities making the world's largest city in termsof area? A3 TitusD'silva Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka,India Sun Bangalore andMysore cannot be twin cities. They are too far apart. Twin cities arecities which are very closely located and which expand and eventually mergeinto the same city. Examples of such cities are Hubli and Dharwad in Karnatakaand Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad in Maharashtra. They were both sperate cities andstill retain seperate status yet have functionaly become part of a single city. What Karnatakaneeds is another two Bangalore like cities in South Karnataka. In NorthKarnataka, I am not sure whether it will give same dividends as compared toSouth to put large amounts infrastructure over there. A lot of money hasalready been invested up North. South is closer to the centres ofindustrialision of Karnataka which is Mysore, Dakshin Kannada and Bangalore. A string of fivecities should be built: Mangalore - NewCity1 - Mysore - NewCity2 - Bangalore.Good quality roads and railway lines should be built connecting these cities. Mangalore toBangalore chain of cities. Finally, aMangalore to Bangalore to Chennai chain of infrastructure should be built. Some people arealleging that Mangalore and Tulu Nadu region has been ignored in Karnataka. Itwould be good to build strong economic ties to allay such allegations. Rightnow large number of people from North Karnataka and Mangalore migrate toBangalore and this leads to overcrowding, water scarcity and croping up ofslums. Even spread of urbanisation in South Karnataka is what is needed notcrowding everything in Bangalore. Q4 Howis it possible that Brazil, a country that is one of the largest food producersin the world, has ten percent of its population going hungry? A4 VictoriaTai Lives in Los AngelesSeptember 22 Fertile productiveland by no means indicates that people get to eat. I lived with ayoung Brazilian couple who had vast tracts of farmland outside of Maringá. Likethe U.S., there can be more subtropical fruits than one can pick, and yet therehas to be labor performed. This is me, havingto climb ladders with a sack to pick our sweet oranges. And even after doing asmuch as I can, there will still be more hanging on the trees. (After this wholecarton, which is several hundred pounds of fruit… I am physically tired anddone.) So then, this needsto be taken out of the scorching heat and put in some sort of refrigeratedstorage or quickly distributed because oranges piled up on each other will growmold or draw ants… especially if one gets crushed and the sugary juices get otheroranges sticky. And if nobody doesthat with a truck or forklift within a few days, sorry, the crop is wasted andbrought to compost. People living infavelas or our inner cities are problematic because they represent atransportation cost, but they don’t add to the food chain. If they came tofarms and performed some of the work, they would never go hungry. But theydon’t, because it costs *them* something to get their human bodies from Point Ato Point B, just like it would cost someone something to bring food stuffs tothem. Moreover, people who live in dangerous areas rife with crime representadded risk. Think of all the UNfood that cannot get into Tigray region of Ethiopia. The mass starvation is notfor lack of food, but for manmade conflict and people either deliberatelypunishing other people or not bothered enough to take sustenance over. So it rots and goesto waste. Q5 Whatdisappointed you today? A5 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniamLawyer Mon I found out to mygreat disappointment that Shri Gopalkrishna Viswanath , legendary Quora userhas blocked me. For days i found iwasn’t able to comment on his posts and wondered why? Today i learnt thathappens when someone blocks you. This surprised mebecause even in May 2021, Mr Viswanath had wished me best of luck for myvaccinations I also found outthat Shri Prasanna Bhalerao , A quoran i admire for his personal finance advisealso muted me as per a quoran who told me this in the comments. Reason - Postsagainst India So i guess - writingconstantly against India is causing and pissing off many people on Quora orwriting pro china all the time or maybe GV sir was offended about NeerajChopra. Fact is i neverintend to write against India but things are not going right for us in myopinion which is why i point them out. If i have to writepositively about India - I only have to get questions on Neeraj Chopra, ISRO,Paytm, Gen Narvane, Gadkari, SBI and Cricket - everything else i feel is headeddownwind. Likewise i neverintend to praise China except to jealously hope that we can one day do thesame. I cannot change mystyle but to the other eminent quorans like Nagaraj Sir, Ambrose, Bhuvana Mdm,Samantha etc - If some posts anger or offend you - pls make it clear in thecomments so i can moderate the language and tone as far as possible. Q6 Whydo current account balances get paid zero interest? Is it because thesebalances are volatile and unstable? A6 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Wed No no-Because its aquid pro quo with the businessmen.

Three-phase powerprovides three alternating currents, with three separate electric services.Each leg of alternating current reaches a maximum voltage, only separated by1/3 of the time in a full cycle.
