How to enable WhatsApp calling on Android, coming soon to iPhone

 
WhatsApp's new calling feature is like a unicorn.  Everyone seems to want it though its sporadic invite/call based roll-out ensures that everyone is not appeased.  However, that is set to change as the Facebook owned instant messaging service is now rolling out a new build of the app — 2.11.561 — on the Google Play store for Android devices, which is enabling the feature for all.
There are a few caveats to the activation of the calling feature. You still need an invite to enable it. The invite is quite plain and simple — A call is needed from a person, who has the feature enabled.
Once you receive a call from a person with the feature you also get the feature.
In addition to this, there is some good news for them iPhone users as well. BGR India, which is technology website, is reporting that the company is reading an update for the iPhone that will enable calling. The report has a screenshot of the feature, which has been allegedly grabbed from a beta tester version 2.11.17.444.
This update brings few minor tweaks to the user interface of the iPhone app. Importantly, when a user makes a call from the standard call button inside a contact, the user is diverted to a WhatsApp call. The call screen clearly spells this out. Earlier, users were diverted to standard cellular calls. There's also a recent button, which catalogs all your WhatsApp calls.
Meanwhile; if you're on Android then just follow the aforementioned steps to enable the function.  That being true, it is not exactly a life changer. Viber, and Skype are better at the moment in our opinion.

Transformer multiple choice questions part 1

Hello Engineer's Q.[1] A transformer transforms (a) frequency (b) voltage (c) current (d) voltage and current Ans : D Q.[2] Which of the following is not a basic element of a transformer ? (a) core (b) primary winding (c) secondary winding (d) mutual flux. Ans : D Q.[3] In an ideal transformer, (a) windings have no resistance (b) core has no losses (c) core has infinite permeability (d) all of the above. Ans : D Q.[4] The main purpose of using core in a transformer is to (a) decrease iron losses (b) prevent eddy current loss (c) eliminate magnetic hysteresis (d) decrease reluctance of the common magnetic circuit. Ans :D Q.[5] Transformer cores are laminated in order to (a) simplify its construction (b) minimize eddy current loss (c) reduce cost (d) reduce hysteresis loss. Ans : B Q.[6] A transformer having 1000 primary turns is connected to a 250-V a.c. supply. For a secondary voltage of 400 V, the number of secondary turns should be (a) 1600 (b) 250 (c) 400 (d) 1250 A...

Condition for Maximum Power Developed In Synchronous Motor

The value of δ for which the mechanical power developed is maximum can be obtained as, Note : Thus when R a is negligible, θ = 90 o for maximum power developed. The corresponding torque is called pull out torque. 1.1 The Value of Maximum Power Developed        The value of maximum power developed can be obtained by substituting θ = δ in the equation of P m .        When R a is negligible,     θ = 90 o  and cos (θ) = 0 hence, . . .               R a = Z s cosθ   and X s = Z s sinθ        Substituting   cosθ = R a /Z s in equation (6b) we get,         Solving the above quadratic in E b we get,        As E b is completely dependent on excitation, the equation (8) gives the excitation limits for a...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...
