NOTE: Answer all questions; each question carries 1 mark

1. Heat loses decrease the efficiency during the transmission of electrical

energy.

2. Pumped hydro is an example of potential energy storage

3. 1 kg of ice stores 335 kJ while 1 kg of cooled water stores 42 kJ. Therefore

both of the them can be used in cold/thermal energy storage application.

4. Higher is the specific energy of a system, smaller is its size.

5. Second and first laws of thermodynamics impose limitations on energy

conversion efficiency and energy coversion, respectively.

6. Silurian hypothesis is related to non-human civilization.

7. Heat is a form of direct thermal energy.

8. In Indus Valley Civilization, administrative seals were made out of

Steatite/Whiskey stone.
