    ol engineers, chk this out..

    HEY BUDDIES,LOOK WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED,
    This one is for those who had nightmares during their
    Engineering Viva's. They bring back fond memories for
    those who
    care to smile
    at the past.
    Enjoy!!!
    **********************************************************
    Interviewer: Why is a thicker conductor necessary to
    carry a current in A.C.as compared to D.C. ?
    Candidate: An AC current goes up and down (drawing a
    sinusoid) and requires more space inside the wire,
    so the wire has to be thicker.
    --------------
    Interviewer: How will you tell if that wall outlet
    carries AC or DC?
    Candidate: I will put my finger in. If it is pushed
    away, it is AC. If it gets stuck, it was DC.
    --------------
    Interviewer: How will you reverse direction of an
    Induction motor?
    Candidate: I will remove the four bolts at the x-ud,
    turn the
    motor around, and put back the bolts.
    --------------
    Interviewer: How do you start a synchronous motor?
    Candidate: Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in rising
    pitch)
    Interviewer: Stop! Stop!
    Candidate: rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in falling
    pitch)
    --------------
    Interviewer: How do you limit surge current within
    an integrated circuit?
    Candidate: By using a miniature circuit breaker.
    -------------
    External (to student) : "Why does a capacitor block
    DC but allow AC To pass through ?
    Student: See, a capacitor is like this ---| |--- ,
    OK. DC comes straight, like this ----------,
    and the capacitor stops it. But AC goes UP,
    DOWN, UP DOWN and jumps right over the capacitor!"
    --------------
    Examiner: "What is a step-up transformer?"
    Student: "A transformer that is put on top of
    electric poles."
    Examiner (smiling): "And then what is a step-down
    transformer?"
    Student (hesitantly):"Uh - A transformer that is put
    in the basement or in a pit?"
    Examiner (pouncing): "Then what do you call a
    transformer that is installed on the ground?"
    (Student knows he is caught-can't answer)
    Examiner (impatiently): "Well?"
    Student (triumphantly): "A stepless transformer,
    sir!"

    good

    Being an Electrical Engineer , I had almost same concepts in first yr ;) still i got thru all of my vivas :p:

    hahahahaha
    the engg facts are very true
    at present im hearing the top two engg rumors(as mentioned above)
    the capacitor one really good.
    this is a good piece of information this will :Lighten: all the engg.
