table has more than one corresponding records in the related transaction table. For
example

Q5. Explain many to many relationship with an example.

5. Wet chemical

1. Water Fire Extinguishers are good for tackling fires involving burning paper, wood and soft furnishing
(Class A fires), as the water soaks into the materials and cools them.
2. Foam fire extinguishers are suitable on Class A fires and fires involving flammable liquids (Class B)
3. Dry powder fire extinguishers are incredibly versatile and can be used for almost every kind of fire.
(Class A, Class B and Class C)
4. CO2 fire extinguishers (also known as carbon dioxide fire extinguishers) are mainly used for electrical
fires.
5. Wet chemical fire extinguishers (also known as Class F fire extinguishers) are the extinguisher that can
safely be used for fires involving cooking oil.

Q 8. What are the steps for operating a fire extinguisher in case of a fire emergency?
Ans.
1. Identify the safety pin of the fire extinguisher, present in its handle.
2. Break the seal and pull the safety pin from the handle.
3. Use the fire extinguisher by squeezing the lever.
4. Sweep it from side to side.

Q 10. List the different class of fire.

Ans. There are several classes of fire, including
Class A: Fire that involve materials such as wood, cloth, and paper.
Class B: Fire that involve flammable liquid, grease, and gas materials that burn when exposed to ignition
sources.
Class C: Fire that involve electrical materials and equipment. These materials cause fires very quickly and
present a serious risk of arc flash.
Class D: Fire that involve any materials that are volatile and able to quickly ignite, such as magnesium,
potassium, and sodium.
Q 11. List out electrical rescue techniques.
Ans. Electrical Rescue Techniques are:
Approaching the accident
1. Never rush into an accident situation.
2. Call 108 as soon as possible
Examining the scene
1. Visually examine victims to determine if they are in contact with energised conductors.
2. Metal surfaces, objects near the victim itself may be energised.
3. Do not touch the victim or conductive surfaces while they are energised.
4. Switch off the electrical circuits if possible.
Hazards and solutions
1. In case you cannot switch off the power source, take extreme care.
2. Ensure that your hands and feet are dry.
3. Wear protective equipment, such as gloves and shoes. Stand on a clean dry surface.
4. Use non-conductive material to remove a victim from the conductor

Q 12. What is the first aid for electrical emergencies?

Ans. If someone has been shocked by electricity, you should
1. Unplug the appliance or turn off the power. If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood, to
separate the victim from the power source.
2. Do not try to move a victim touching a high voltage wire.
3. Call for emergency help.
4. If the person is not breathing, and doesn’t have a pulse, begin CPR
