1.

a) What is Ohm’s Law? will give the answer in broader sense such as definition,
example, etc elaborately.

       State Ohm’s Law. will give the answer containing just the statement of the law.

    b)For answering the first question, student will focus on thinking in generalistic manner
and will get many points which could be the answer.Here students will think in diverged
manner.

       For answering the second question, student has to remember both the concepts and think
the differences with respect to a particular condition. Since it is based on some criteria,
student will get few points which could be the answer. Here student will think in converged
manner.

2. None of the above is  meaningful choice as there is no other right options. This helps the
students to realise the fact that even there would be chance for incorrect options in
the  question.

3.

Illustrate
the answer for this question
involves understanding level of
cognitive dimension
the concept will be explained with
some example
Describe
the answer for this question
involves remembering level of cognitive
dimension
the concept will be explained in brief
manner

4.Essay type question:

Explain the layout of themal power plant.

Structured essay type question:

 List the components in thermal power cycle.

 Define each component and describe its function.
 Illustrate the processes involved in the components comprising the Rankine thermal
cycle

5. Problem solving question will help in assessing higher order cognitive abilities of student.
It is related to creativity and designing of new ideas, products,etc. for solving problems or
needs of society.

Eg: It is decided to use two different insulation layers of thermal conductivity 'k' and
'4k' each on a steam pipe exposed to ambient environment. Which combination of
wrapping the insulation layers around the steam pipe will helpful in reducing the heat
loss to a minimum extent ?

Option a) insulation material having thermal conductivity 'k' is wrapped first and then
that of '4k'
Option a) insulation material having thermal conductivity '4k' is wrapped first and then
that of 'k'

In this question , students should have good understanding of parameters responsible for
affecting different modes of heat transfer such as conduction and convection. Also, students
should understand which effect is dominating whether conduction or covection resistance in
each cases and find the solution for the problem.
