A3 Ken Saladin Textbookauthor and professor emeritus Fri All spiders, almost withoutexception*, have toxic venom. They need it to survive. But very, very few spider specieshave venom of any danger to humans. Most spider venom will cause no more effect than a mosquito or tickbite. And no spiders transmit diseases, other than the disease of the biteitself, as from the Australian redback or American black widow and brownrecluse bites. There are no parasites or infectious microbes transmittedthrough spider venom.

A4 Krishna KumarSubramanian, Lifelong Follower of Developments in ElectronicsAnswered Fri If you don’t want to waste electricity, you use a buck-converter. In dc-dc converters, the average dc output voltage must be controlled toequal a desired level, though the input voltage and the output load mayfluctuate. Switch-mode dc-dc converters utilize one or more switches totransform dc from one level to another. In a dc-dc converter with a given inputvoltage, the average output voltage is controlled by controlling the switch onand off durations (ton and toff). It’s not very complicated, and ituses magnetic components to cut electrical losses while doing its job. 2ND ANSWER- RobertGross, Retired Electrical Engineer AnsweredFri If the current is constant, youcan do it with resistors; ifnot, you will need a more complicated circuit, or a rotary converter (motorrotating a generator).
