What is CVV?

Answer»

CVV stands for Card Verification Value. This number is vital for completing online transactions and should never be shared with anyone. The CVV number is generated by debit card issuers (banks or other financial institutions) based on the following details:
 

DEBIT CARD NUMBER
SERVICE CODE
CARD EXPIRYDATE
ISSUER'S UNIQUE CODE

What is the purpose of the CVV?

CVV is to debit card what a security guard is to an establishment. It helps safeguard your debit card against theft, fraud or unauthorised transactions. The CVV ensures that only the card owner uses the card. Even if someone gets hold of the debit card number, they cannot transact without the CVV










 

A card verification value or a CVV number is a 3-digit code printed at the back of a credit or a debit card. Also known as card security code or card verification code, it acts as an additional security layer protecting your data during online transactions or card swipes at POS machines.

The CVV code is distinct from the card’s PIN and is required while making online transactions. Cardholders must protect their CVV and not share it with anyone to avoid falling prey to cyber frauds.

Information about philip II of spain.

Answer»

King Philip II (Spanish: Felipe II) of Spain, also known as Philip the Prudent or Philip II of the House of Habsburg, was unarguably the most important ruler in Spanish history. It was under his reign that Spain reached the height of its influence and power, and also of its artistic, literary, and musical excellence. As a result, those years are often referred to as the ‘Golden Age’. He was also named the King of Portugal, King of Naples, Duke of Milan, and lord of Seventeen Provinces of Netherlands at various points of his life. For a brief period, he became the jure uxoris King of England and Ireland through his marriage to Queen Mary I. As a young boy, he grew up studious, grave, and mature beyond his years; his formal education and military training receiving equal attention. At the age of 16, his father made him the Regent of Spain, and in the ensuing years he would be the sovereign of a massive empire that would extend to every continent known to contemporary Europeans, leading to the coining of the expression, “the empire on which the sun never sets”. A fervent Roman Catholic, he launched a largely unsuccessful militaristic campaign against the Protestant England in the later years of his reign. In comparison, his endeavours against France and the Ottoman Empire turned out more productive. The islands of Philippines were named so in his honour.

What are achievements of Charles V. Give detailed explanation.

Answer»

The French king Charles V (1337-1380) ruled from 1364 to 1380. He skillfully governed France during a critical phase of the Hundred Years War.

Son of John II and Bonne of Luxemburg, Charles V was born at Vincennes on Jan. 21, 1337. He was the first heir apparent to the crown of France to bear the title Dauphin. Although nothing is known of his education, his later activities as a patron of the arts, theoretician of monarchy, and founder of the royal library at the Louvre indicate an early interest in learning. In 1350 Charles married his cousin Jeanne de Bourbon.

Charles was born, grew up, and reigned in the shadow of the great Anglo-French conflict called the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). When he was 16, Charles was made Duke of Normandy by his father and was thus entrusted with one of the most vulnerable areas of warfare. At the age of 19, on Sept. 19, 1356, Charles with his father and two younger brothers led the French army, which was cut to pieces by the English at Poitiers. During the battle John II was taken prisoner and held for ransom. Charles, lacking power and financial resources, had to assume the office of regent during his father's captivity, which lasted until 1360. During this period Charles weathered the threat of an English invasion and, faced with domestic discontent, put down a number of internal revolts, among them the Jacquerie, a peasant uprising. Only his astute political judgment and diplomatic skill saved the crown of France. With the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360 he arranged the terms of his father's ransom and established a temporary truce with the English.

When Charles became king on his father's death in 1364, his experience as regent had prepared him to take on his first great task—undoing the disastrous results of the political ineptitude of his father and grandfather. Although he was not a good general and was always in ill health, he devoted intense energy to ruling. He chose able advisers and was fortunate in securing a number of effective military commanders, including Bertrand du Guesclin, to counter the continuing threat from England. Charles resumed the war in 1369, and by his death in 1380 he had fought the English to a standstill.

Apart from his activities against the English, Charles's last years were spent in strengthening the defenses of France and organizing matters of law and finance. For the first time since the death of Philip V in 1314, France had an effective and intelligent ruler. But Charles's early death on Sept. 16, 1380, brought far less able men to the throne, kings who would preside over even greater defeats at the hands of the English and who would witness the further disintegration of French society.

Difference between percolation and permeablity.

Answer»

The movement of water through a column of soil is called percolation. Percolation is important for two reasons. First, percolating water is the only source of recharge of ground water which can again be used through well for irrigation. Second, percolating waters carry plant nutrients down and often out of reach of plant roots (leaching). Percolation is dependent on rainfall.

Permeability indicates the relative ease of movement of water within the soil. The characteristics that determine how fast air and water move through the soil is known as permeability. The term hydraulic conductivity is also used which refers to the readiness with which a soil transmits fluids through it.

Do ions help in conduct electricity?

Answer»

Yes, ions can only conduct electricity when they are able to move. 

Ions in a crystal are locked in place. While one might imagine that electricity could flow from one ion to another, that would require some room on the ions, especially the anions, to accept the electrons in the first place. In general, the anions are already full up with electrons (having achieved an inert gas electronic configuration). So there is no room to inject electrons into the orbitals of the anions, so there is no way for the electrons to start their journey from one side of the ionic solid to the other. 

Ionis in water are an entirely different matter! The cations generated at the anode can move to the cathode where they can pick up electrons, and that anions generated at the cathode can move freely through the solution to the anode where they drop off their electrons.
