    What is the formula for the calculation of time period?

    • T=1\g

    • T=1\r

    • T=1\f

    • T=1\l

    Correct Answer
    A. T=1\f
    Explanation
    The correct answer is t=1\f. This formula represents the calculation of time period. The "t" represents the time period, and the "1" in the numerator indicates that it is a constant value. The "\f" in the denominator represents the frequency, which is the number of cycles or oscillations per unit of time. Dividing 1 by the frequency gives us the time period.

    If more current is applied to a solenoid then

    • Its magnetic field increases

    • Its magnetic field decreases

    • No effect

    • It gets hotter

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Its magnetic field increases
    Explanation
    When more current is applied to a solenoid, the magnetic field increases. This is because the magnetic field produced by a solenoid is directly proportional to the current passing through it. As the current increases, more magnetic field lines are generated, resulting in a stronger magnetic field. Therefore, the correct answer is that the solenoid's magnetic field increases.

    What is a positive ion known as?

    • Cation

    • Anion

    • Cathode

    • Anode

    Correct Answer
    A. Cation
    Explanation
    A positive ion is known as a cation. Cations are formed when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. They are attracted to the cathode in an electrolytic cell and are typically smaller in size compared to their parent atoms. Cations play a crucial role in various chemical reactions and are often involved in the formation of ionic compounds.

    What type of core does a temporary electromagnet contain?

    • Lead core

    • Soft iron core

    • Bar of steel

    • Copper plate

    Correct Answer
    A. Soft iron core
    Explanation
    A temporary electromagnet contains a soft iron core. Soft iron is commonly used as a core material in electromagnets because it has high magnetic permeability, meaning it can easily magnetize and demagnetize. When an electric current flows through the coil of wire surrounding the soft iron core, it creates a magnetic field. The soft iron core helps to concentrate and strengthen this magnetic field, making the electromagnet more powerful. Once the current is turned off, the soft iron core loses its magnetism, hence why it is called a temporary electromagnet.

    Scalar quantities have __________________ but no ________________

    Correct Answer
    magnitude, direction
    Explanation
    Scalar quantities have magnitude but no direction. Scalar quantities are physical quantities that can be completely described by their magnitude or numerical value alone. They do not have any associated direction. Examples of scalar quantities include mass, temperature, time, and speed.

    What is the specific heat capacity of water?

    • 5.8 kg\J degree C

    • 4200 kg\J degree C

    • 934 kg\J degree C

    • 4132 kg\J degree C

    Correct Answer
    A. 4200 kg\J degree C
    Explanation
    The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. In the case of water, the specific heat capacity is 4200 kg/J degree C. This means that it takes 4200 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

    What is the relation between one calorie and joules?

    • 1 Cal = 4.184 Joules

    • 1 Cal= 100 Joules

    • 1 Cal= 1034 Joules

    • 1 Cal= 7.896 Joules

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 Cal = 4.184 Joules
    Explanation
    One calorie is equivalent to 4.186 joules. This means that if we have 1 calorie of energy, it can also be expressed as 4.186 joules of energy.

    Upto what decimal place does a vernier caliper count the reading?

    • Up to two decimal places

    • Up to three decimal places

    • Up to 1 decimal place

    • Up to seven decimal places

    Correct Answer
    A. Up to two decimal places
    Explanation
    A vernier caliper is a measuring instrument that is used to measure linear dimensions with high accuracy. It consists of a main scale and a sliding vernier scale. The main scale typically has markings up to one decimal place, while the vernier scale allows for more precise readings. In this case, the correct answer is "up to two decimal places" because the vernier scale provides an additional digit of accuracy beyond the main scale.

    In kinematics, if an object's velocity is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false. In kinematics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If an object's velocity is constant, it means there is no change in speed or direction. However, this doesn't imply that the object's acceleration is zero. Acceleration can be zero only if the velocity remains constant, not necessarily at zero.
