Answer» Mrs. Van Daan : Mrs. Van Daan was a friendly and teasing woman. She was, fatalist, egoistical, flirtatious and disagreeable woman. She quarreled over petty issues and nobody in Annexe got along well with her. Mrs. Van Daan frequently complained that Anne didn’t admire or respect her. She was a timid lady who got frightened at the slightest noise. She didn’t behave well with Mrs. Frank, Mr. Dussel and even Peter. She was always ready to pick a fight. On September 2, 1942 she had a quarrel with Mrs. Frank as she had found out that the Franks were using her China bowl instead of their own. She got annoyed with Anne when she broke one of her soup bowls. All these incidents point towards Mrs. Van Daan being short-tempered, whenever she picked up a row with anyone it was only Mrs. Van Daan who came out as a winner because she seemed a ‘born debater’ to Anne. In the later stage of her hitting, she became uncomfortable during her hiding and gave vent to her feeling by frequently hitting others with her speech. Mrs. Van Daan had a timid nature. She jumped with fright at the slightest noise after the break in. She took the longest time to relax and feel comfortable after the burglaries despite her critical nature. She did not survive the war like all others. |

One of the differences/similarity, in the operation of a transistor amplifier, and a step–up transformer, is (1) In transistor, if voltage increases, current also increases, in step–up transformer, if voltage increases, current decreases(2) In transistor, if voltage increases, current increase; in step–up transformer, if voltage increase, current increases(3) In both of them, if voltage increases, current also increases(4) In both of them, if voltage increases, current decreases |
|
Answer» Correct option: (1) Explanation: The transistor can bring about an increases in voltage along with an increase in current. This is because the increased power, in the ‘output’ of a transistor, comes at the expense of the power supplied by the biasing battery. In a step–up transformer, there is no such power source. Hence the ‘output’ power – even in the case of an ideal transformer – can at best be equal to the ‘input’ power. The increase in voltage, here, is accompanied by a decrease in current, and vice–versa. |
