Best answer by B.E(electrical and E.C) students during viva.....

This is best answer by B.E students during viva. >------------ ---------> This o
ne is for those who had nightmares during their Engineering Viva's (EEEs and ECE
s). They bring back fond memories for those who care to smile at the past
=====================================
Interviewer: Why is a thicker conductor necessary to carry a current in A.C.as c
ompared 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.

External(to student) : "Why does a capacitor block DC but allow AC To pass throu
gh ?
Student:See, a capacitor is like this ---| |--- , OK. DC comes straight, like th
is ----------, and the capacitor stops it. But AC,goes UP, DOWN, UP DOWN and jum
ps right over the capacitor!" ------------ ------- good one : - )

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 st
uck, it was DC.

Interviewer: H! ow will you reverse direction of an Induction motor?
Candidate:I will remove the four bolts at the x-ud, turn the motor around, and p
ut back the bolts.

Interviewer: How do you start a synchronous motor?
Candidate:Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm(in rising pitch)
Interviewer: Stop! Stop!
Candidate: rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm(in falling pitch)

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 x-udment or in a pi
t?"
Examiner (pouncing): "Then what do you call a transformer that is installed on t
he ground?"
(Student knows he is caught-can't answer)
Examiner (impatiently) : "Well?"
Student (triumphantly) :"A stepless transformer, sir!"

Common Engineering Dialogues after a paper:
'What is this man, 60% of the paper was out of the syllabus'
'This was the worst paper set in the entire
engineering history' 'I am failing'
