Question

When the pressure intensity at a point is more than the local atmospheric pressure, then the difference of these two pressures is called-

A.

Positive gauge pressure

B.

Barometric pressure

C.

Absolute pressure

D.

Negative gauge pressure

Correct option is A


When the pressure intensity at a point is more than the local atmospheric pressure, the difference between these two pressures is called positive gauge pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, so when it is above atmospheric pressure, it is termed positive gauge pressure. Absolute pressure, on the other hand, is the total pressure measured from an absolute vacuum, and it equals the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.
