A. 5 A
B. 0.5 A
C. 2 A
D. 50 A
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
I = V/R = 5/10 = 0.5 A. Ohm's law. Simple calculation. Power P = V×I = 2.5 W.

Question #1
A passenger in a moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. This shows that the motion of the train is:
A. Along a circular track
B. Retarded
C. Accelerated
D. Uniform

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When the coin is tossed, it moves forward with the initial velocity of the train due to inertia of motion. If the train accelerates during the time the coin is in the air, the train moves faster and travels a greater distance horizontally than the coin. Thus, the coin falls behind the passenger.

Question #2
Due to the Earth's rotation, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is minimum at:
A. The North Pole
B. A latitude of 45 degrees
C. The South Pole
D. The Equator

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The effective acceleration due to gravity at latitude lambda is g' = g - R * w^2 * cos^2(lambda), where w is angular velocity. At the equator, lambda = 0, so cos(0) = 1. This subtracts the maximum outward centrifugal acceleration (Rw^2) from g. At the poles, lambda = 90, centrifugal effect is zero. Thus, g is minimum exactly at the equator.

Question #3
In a semiconductor, the temperature coefficient of resistance is
A. Infinite
B. Zero
C. Positive
D. Negative

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Semiconductors have negative temperature coefficient: resistance decreases with temperature.
