BOARD EXAM REVIEWER: POWER ELEMENTS

I have here some of the most frequently appearing types of "elements" on the subject of power and industrial plant engineering. Answers will be provided after a week.
These questions were based on previous board examination and was reworded and modified but it carries the same thought as the actual questions.
