[#1082] The absorption of ink by blotting paper involves:
Correct Answer

(B) Capillary action phenomenon

[#1083] Siphon will fail to work if:
Correct Answer

(B) The level of the liquid in the two vessels are at the same height.

[#1084] Large transformers, when used for some time, become very hot and are cooled by circulating oil. The heating of the transformer is due to:
Correct Answer

(C) Both the heating effect of current and hysteresis loss

Explanation

Solution: Large transformers, when used for some time, become very hot and are cooled by circulating oil. The heating of the transformer is due to both the heating effect of current and hysteresis loss.
