2. Non-effective earthing
3. Peterson coil earthing
4. Flick method

Correct answer: 2. Non-effective earthing

The term non-effective earthing refers to the earthing which is done through

The term non-effective earthing refers to the earthing which is done through:

1. Resistance
2. Reactance
3. Transformer
4. All of these

Correct answer: 4. All of these

MCQ#6

Argument: Resistance earthing can’t be used for single phase loads.

Solution: Households always employ solid earthing.

1. Argument and solution are not connected in the present context
2. Argument leads to the solution
3. The argument is wrong, the solution is correct
4. Both solution and argument are wrong

Correct answer: 2. Argument leads to a solution

Explanation: The resistance earthing can’t be used for single phase loads due to which the solid earthing method is used by households.
