Interviewer:Why is a thicker conductor necessary to carry a current in A.C.as compared 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 through ?
Student:See, a capacitor is like this ---| |--- , OK.
DC comes straight, like this ----------, and the capacitor stops it. But AC,goes UP, DOWN, UP DOWN and jumps right over the capacitor!"
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 stuck, it was DC.
Interviewer: How will you reverse direction of an Induction motor?
Candidate:I will remove the four bolts at the x-ud, turn the motor around, and put back the bolts.
Interviewer:How do you start a synchronous motor?
Candidate:Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in rising pitch)
Interviewer: Stop! Stop!
Candidate:rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (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 pit?"
Examiner (pouncing):"Then what do you call a transformer that is installed on the ground?"
(Student knows he is caught-can't answer) Examiner (impatiently): "Well?"
Student (triumphantly):"A stepless transformer, sir!"

The IAS Interview
One young man went for an IAS Interview.
"When did India get independence?" He was asked.
"The efforts began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947" He replied.
"Who was responsible for our independence?"
"There were so many. Whom to mention? If I name one, it will be a injustice to another." He replied.
"Is corruption the number one enemy in our country?"
"Some research is going on the subject and I can answer with certainly only after seeing the report" He replied.
The interview board was very pleased with his original and thoughtful answers and asked him not to reveal the questions to others, since they were planning to ask the same questions.
When he went out naturally others were curious to know what was asked. He politely declined, but one persistent Santa would not leave him. "At least tell me the answers" he pleaded, and our friend obliged.
Then it was the turn of this Santa. When he went inside, since his resume was slightly illegible, the board member asked him.
" By the way, what is your date of birth?"
He replied, "The effort began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947."
Somewhat puzzled, they asked another clarification.
"What is your fathers name?"
He replied, "There were so many. Whom to mention". If I name one, it will be injustice to another".
The interviewer was incensed.
"Hey! Are you mad or what?"
He replied. "Some research is going on the subject. I can answer with certainty only after seeing the report."

In UK , in 30 minutes itcaught 50 thieves;
Spain , in 30 minutes it caught 65 thieves;
Ghana ,in 30 minutes it caught 600 thieves; . .
