Thank you Dharma for the site. I guess there is indeed a change in the teaching concept.

while graphite is a known conductor of electricity, is the term ‘carbon’ considered conductor or non-conductor?

[snowman.022851697]

Graphite is carbon molecules arranged in a certain way. Therefore, carbon is an electrical conductor.

The safest answer is : \"Some forms of carbon are conductor of electricity\". If it is True or False question, I would put True.

I need P & R to be conductors. So shd it be (3) or (4)??

As for carbon, only graphite is a conductor of electricity and other forms of carbon, e.g. diamond, coal, soot, are non-conductor of electricity.

If there is no option (4) than (3) would be the best answer.

Thanx, atutor2001!!

Hi


I’ve asked this question via PM.I thought it’s an interesting one and some students may find it challenging to draw the shadows from the different positions.

Another similar type of question, this time MCQ which tests a student’s visualization ability.

What is interesting is whether the students are taught how to represent a triangular block such as that shown in 'D'. I remember it was only during technical class in sec school that we are taught to draw the line to represent the 'peak' of the triangular block in the plan view.

BTW, the answer shd be (2), right?
