4. Question
Which of the folllowing statements about Nanofibers are correct?
1. Nanofibers are fibers with diameters in the nanometer range.
2. Nanofibers can be generated from different polymers and hence have different physical properties and application potentials.CorrectAns;- c) Both 1 and 2
About Nanofibers
• Nanofibers are fibers with diameters in the nanometer range. Nanofibers can be generated from different polymers and hence have different physical properties and application potentials.
• Examples of natural polymers include collagen, cellulose, silk fibroin, keratin, gelatin and polysaccharides such as chitosan and alginate.
• There exist many different methods to make nanofibers, including drawing, electrospinning, self-assembly, template synthesis, and thermal-induced phase separation.
• Electrospinning is the most commonly used method to generate nanofibers because of the straightforward setup, the ability to mass-produce continuous nanofibers from various polymers, and the capability to generate ultrathin fibers with controllable diameters, compositions, and orientations.IncorrectAns;- c) Both 1 and 2

5. Question
Which of the following statements about 5G Technology are correct?
1. 5G will deliver multi-Gbps peak rates, ultra-low latency, massive capacity, and a less uniform user experience.
2. Due to high-speed, high-reliability, low-latency network, 5G networks will act as an enabler for the Industrial revolution 4.0
3. 5G is the next generation of mobile broadband that will eventually replace, or at least augment 4G LTE connection.CorrectAns;- b) Only 2 and 3
Explanation;-
• The 1st statements is incorrect because it is a more uniform user experience.
About 5G
• 5G is the next generation of mobile broadband that will eventually replace, or at least augment 4G LTE connection.
• 5G offers exponentially faster download and upload speeds.
• 5G will deliver multi-Gbps peak rates, ultra-low latency, massive capacity, and a more uniform user experience.
• Latency, or the time it takes devices to communicate with wireless networks, will also drastically decrease.
• A government panel report points out that with 5G, the peak network data speeds are expected to be in the range of 2-20 Gigabit per second (Gbps).
• This is in contrast to 4G link speeds in averaging 6-7 Megabit per second (Mbps) in India as compared to 25 Mbps in advanced countries.
• KPMG in its report, released at the Indian Mobile Congress 2019, predicts the cumulative impact of 5G in India at $1 trillion by 2035.
• The 5G steering committee chaired by Stanford University’s Professor Emeritus AJ Paulraj submitted its recommendations to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
• It gave wide-ranging recommendations to drive India’s 5G adoption entailing areas like spectrum policy, regulatory policy, standards and education. Background The committee was set up by Government in September 2017 to suggest a road .Application of 5G
• 5G will help in creating cyber-physical networks which not only interconnect people, but also interconnect and control machines, objects, and devices. It will deliver new levels of performance and efficiency that will empower new user experiences and connect new industries.
• Due to high-speed, high-reliability, low-latency network, 5G networks will act as an enabler for the Industrial Revolution 4.0
5G is expected to form the backbone of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine to machine communications, thereby supporting a much larger range of applications and services, including driverless vehicles, telesurgery and real-time data analytics.
• Industry association GSMA forecasts the number of internet-enabled devices will triple to 25 billion by 2025.
• 5G can also help make transport infrastructure more efficient by making it smart. It will enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, making driverless cars, among other things, a reality.
• A government panel on 5G says the technology will extend the use of wireless technologies for the first time across completely new sectors of the economy from industrial to commercial, educational, health care, agricultural, financial and social sectors.
• Also, the primary applications of 5G will be the implementation of a sensor-embedded network that will allow real-time relay of information across fields such as manufacturing, consumer durables and agriculture.
• The panel set up by the Department of Telecommunications in September 2017 to prepare a roadmap for the rollout of 5G noted in its report that 5G services would have a cumulative economic impact of more than $1 trillion by 2035.
• According to a separate report by telecom gear maker Ericsson, 5G-enabled digitalization revenue potential in India will be above $27 billion by 2026.IncorrectAns;- b) Only 2 and 3
