Q. Large transformers, when used for some time, become very hot and are cooled by circulating oil. The heating of the transformer is due to:

  • (A) The heating effect of current alone
  • (B) Hysteresis loss alone
  • (C) Both the heating effect of current and hysteresis loss
  • (D) Intense sunlight at noon
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Both the heating effect of current and hysteresis loss

Q. Nuclear sizes are expressed in a unit named

  • (A) Fermi
  • (B) Angstrom
  • (C) Newton
  • (D) Tesla
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) Fermi

Q. Light year is a unit of

  • (A) Time
  • (B) Distance
  • (C) Light
  • (D) Intensity of light
πŸ“ Notes

Q. Mirage is due to:

  • (A) Unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere
  • (B) Magnetic disturbances in the atmosphere
  • (C) Depletion of ozone layer in the atmosphere
  • (D) Equal heating of different parts of the atmosphere
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) Unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere
Explanation: Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool. The hot ground warms a layer of air just above the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and into the layer of hot air it is refracted (bent). A layer of very warm air near the ground refracts the light from the sky nearly into a U-shaped bend.

Q. Stars appears to move from east to west because

  • (A) All stars move from east to west
  • (B) The earth rotates from west to east
  • (C) The earth rotates from east to west
  • (D) The background of the stars moves from west to east
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) The earth rotates from west to east

Q. Pa(Pascal) is the unit for

  • (A) Thrust
  • (B) Pressure
  • (C) Frequency
  • (D) Conductivity
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) Pressure

Q. Planets do not twinkle because

  • (A) They emit light of a constant intensity
  • (B) Their distance from the earth does not change with time
  • (C) They are very far away from the earth resulting in decrease in intensity of light
  • (D) They are nearer to earth and hence we receive a greater amount of light.
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) They are nearer to earth and hence we receive a greater amount of light.

Q. Metals are good conductors of electricity because:

  • (A) They contain free electrons.
  • (B) The atoms are lightly packed.
  • (C) They have high melting point.
  • (D) All of the above.
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) They contain free electrons.

Q. Let a thin capillary tube be replaced with another tube of insufficient length then, we find water

  • (A) will overflow
  • (B) will not rise
  • (C) depressed
  • (D) change its meniscus
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) will not rise

  • (A) Pressure and Young's modules
  • (B) Planck's constant and Angular momentum
  • (C) Impulse and moment of force
  • (D) Force and rate of change of linear momentum
πŸ“ Notes
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Impulse and moment of force
