(b) When travelers from the USA and Canada visit Europe, they encounter a different
power distribution system. Wall voltages in North America are 120 V rms at 60 Hz,
while typical wall voltages in Europe are 230 V rms at 50 Hz. Many travelers carry small
step-up/step-down transformers so that they can use their appliances in the countries that
they are visiting. A typical transformer might be rated at I kVA and 115/230 V. It has
750 turns of wire on the 115-V side and 1500 turns of wire on the 230- V side. The
magnetization curve for this transformer is shown in Figure 2(b). Suppose that this

Over the years, influential people have been able to fill up the Buriganga mostly due to
the indifference of government agencies. Large parts of the water bodies connected to
it have been filled by factories and business establishments. Out of the 1,092 boundary
pillars set up to demarcate the river, 718 are broken and 114 are missing. By
comparing satellite images from 1990 to 2020, a study found a 37.67 percent of.
increase ii1 settlements on the river, with the area occupied by residential and
commercial buildings growing from 176.46 square kilometres in 1990 to 201.67 square
kilometres in 2020. At present, there are 108 factories, 43 shipyards, 23 small factories,
22 industrial establishments, 19 warehouses and 17 brick kilns on its banks. The
government has eight projects worth Tk. 3,294 crore for the restoration of the
Buriganga. But none of them have produced any meaningful result. So, on the one
hand, it has totally failed to restore the river while, on the other, it has wasted
thousands of crores of taxpayer's money in the process. Despite a number of High
Court directives urging government agencies to save it, the river has literally been used
as a dumping ground over the last few decades, polluting it to an extent that it can
hardly nurture aquatic life now. The government must take responsibility for the harm
that is being done to the Buriganga, and to us by extension. And it must immediately
begin a serious drive to evict river grabbers, ensure its proper water flow, and stop all
sources of pollution.

It was only minus 28 degree Celsius when we landed in Irkutsk. But that was cold
enough to JTlakebreathing an effort - the air felt like ice as it scraped the back of my
throat. Five minutes later, I needed a second pair of gloves and pulled my scarf tight
over my nose and mouth. I was obviously a beginner at this. At the petrol station,
Mikhail the attendant laughed when we asked if he wasn't freezing. He'd spent the
,

whole day outside with no more than his fur hat and a sheepskin coat for warmth. It
was mid-afternoon and icicles were hanging from his moustache like Dracula's fangs.
He said he never drank to stay warm-unlike many others.

Contd ... Q. NO.5

There's a belief in Siberia that enough vodka will insulate you from the cold. It's been
proved tragically wrong in the past few weeks. Dozens of bodies of the homeless or
men walking drunkenly back from the pub were hauled out of the snowdrifts, frozen or
so badly frost-bitten that many will never walk again. The local hospital in Irkutsk is'
overwhelmed. Ironically, it's the bums unit that's taken all the frostbite victims - 200 of
them in just two weeks in one town. Even here, icicles are hanging down on the inside
of the windows, though the heating is on full power. The doctor was too busy
performing amputations to talk to us. But we could hear the screams from the
operating room. They'd run out of anaesthetic after performing 60 amputations that
week. The other patients could hear it too, and one girl in the corridor, clinging to her
mother for support, was near to tears. Nastya is only 16. Last week she missed her last
bus home, so she walked instead - seven kilometres through the snow, in temperatures
of minus 40. She had no gloves. Now her hands are bandaged and hang down
uselessly. She'll find out soon if they need to be amputated. She was far from the worst
case. In one bed, Nikolai Dobtsov lay quietly staring at the ceiling. Underneath the
sheets, blood was seeping through his bandages, from where his feet and hands had
been amputated the day before. He was a truck driver, he explained, with a good job
delivering wood - and recently there'd been a lot of demand. So he'd set out to deliver a
last load upcountry. The weather forecast - just minus 25 in Irkutsk - seemed to suggest
that the journey was safe. It wasn't. His truck broke down miles from anywhere, and
for 6 desperate hours he fought to repair the axle. He even greased his hands for.
protection, and finally managed to get the truck going again. Somehow he found the
strength to drive himself back and straight to hospital, but it was already too late. I
asked Nikolai what would happen to him now. He just laughed, and shrugged. Nikolai
has no wife or family in Irkutsk - and invalidity benefit is a pittance. Life is an
institution inay be the best he can hope for, and he'll almost certainly never work again.
That incredible stoicism is everywhere. In Irkutsk at least, people seem simply to
accept that winter is harsh - and this one especially so. It is without doubt the cruellest
Siberian winter in living memory. Yet outdoors, everything appears to function
normally - even schools re-opened as the temperature rose briefly to minus 25.
The trams and buses are back on the roads, though everyone drives slowly to avoid
skidding on the layers of ice below the grit. The main street bustles with people
wrapped in layers against the cold. But even indoors, the chill is inescapable. After her
shift as a tram conductor, Natasha Fillipova comes home to a freezing house. She
shows us the bedroom - where ice has built up on the inside walls. She scrapes it off
with her fingers, but that has little effect. One night, Natasha says, she washed her hair
before going to bed. When she woke up, it was frozen solid to the wall. The children
are doing their homework in the bathroom - the only room warm enough to sit in.
Natasha doesn't want to complain. But she is angry with the state and the architects for
building shoddy houses. The flats here are supposed to withstand up to minus 40
degrees. They don't, and her children are ill with coughs and colds. Natasha's anger is
brief, and she seems faintly embarrassed about it. Siberians are used to cold weather,
she explains. Here, she tells us, people prefer to rely on themselves - and the knowledge
that eventually, spring will come.
