34) CRO
35) Potentiometer Qestions from each topic above said had covered
36) Incase of capacitor when you made give supply a) charge deposited inner plate charge deposited outer polacte
37) Medicumbetween capacitor place air or dielectric insultating or dielectric conduction
38) From heated body to unheated body heat transfer by the prinicple of induction or conductin or dissipation
39) Avg, rms values for half wave rectifier
40) Chopper main principle
41) Two capacitors of same value C connected in series then equivalent capacitance vae
42) Function of hwr rectifier in case of chopper
43) Constant Voltage Variable Frequency in chopper because of
44) Question of op amp
45) Cyclo converters main principle
46) Transformer principle
47) Power in ac circuit
a) P= VI b) P=VI SIN OF c) P==VI COS
Rest of 50 questions i could not present here as all are from mainly signals and systems, power electronics, analong electronics, digital electronics, control systems if you thorough in above topic you will be final list of selected candidate.
Part II: 2 questions on correction of sentence
2 questions on fill in the blanks
2 question on articles
2 question of synonyms
3 questions on passsage
15 questions on General Awarencess this section bit of importante as they covered previous 15 months news each question from each month, 15 questions on speed and time intersts, percentage, data interpretation.
My suggestion to you all make your self through preparation in alll topics especially from electronic subjects
all questions are simple and confusing make sure your self that if you miss any topic during in your preparation you get a chance to answer one question.
Myself i have done well I believe, i will be one among the GAIL's people in future.
Thank you.
All The Best!
