What does it mean if a circuit is in steady state? In electronics, steady state is an equilibrium condition of a circuit or network that occurs as the effects of transients are no longer important. Steady state is reached (attained) after transient (initial, oscillating or turbulent) state has subsided. Why does a capacitor act as […]
What are the three steps in the control process?
What are the three steps in the control process? Steps Involved in Control Process – Establishing Standards, Measuring Performance, Performance Appraisal and Correcting the Deviations. Basically the process of control involves three steps i.e.- (i) setting up standards (ii) performance appraisal and (iii) corrective measures. What are the 3 types of control? Three basic types […]
Why does the earth switch polarity?
Why does the earth switch polarity? The reversals take place when iron molecules in Earth’s spinning outer core start going in the opposite direction as other iron molecules around them. As their numbers grow, these molecules offset the magnetic field in Earth’s core. What does normal polarity mean? Normal polarity is defined as the magnetic […]

Can you get a shock from an earth wire?
Can you get a shock from an earth wire? You would get an electric shock if the live wire inside an appliance, such as a cooker, came loose and touched the metal casing. However, the earth terminal is connected to the metal casing so that the current goes through the earth wire instead of causing […]
What are the similarities and differences between weathering and erosion?
What are the similarities and differences between weathering and erosion? When the smaller rock pieces (now pebbles, sand or soil) are moved by these natural forces, it is called erosion. So, if a rock is changed or broken but stays where it is, it is called weathering. If the pieces of weathered rock are moved […]

What happens if your TYRE pressure is too low?
What happens if your TYRE pressure is too low? When air pressure gets too low, the tire’s sidewalls flex more, and heat builds up within the tire. If the overheating gets severe, a section of the tire’s rubber can separate from its carcass—the mix of fabric and steel that the tire is built on. If […]
