A 100 W, 200 V bulb is connected to a 100 V supply. Power consumed is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 100 W, 200 V bulb is connected to a 100 V supply. Power consumed is
A. 100 W
B. 25 W
C. 50 W
D. 200 W
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
R = V²/P = 40000/100 = 400 Ω. At 100 V, P = V²/R = 10000/400 = 25 W.

Question #1
A radioactive nucleus emits a beta particle. Its mass number
A. Decreases by 1
B. Remains unchanged
C. Decreases by 2
D. Increases by 1

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
β⁻ decay: n → p + e⁻, so A unchanged, Z increases by 1.

Question #2
In modern household wiring, a 'fuse' has largely been replaced by which device that performs the same safety function but can be reset?
A. Inverter
B. Rectifier
C. Capacitor
D. MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) serves the same safety function as a fuse: breaking the circuit during an overload or short circuit. However, unlike a fuse wire that melts and must be physically replaced, an MCB contains an electromechanical mechanism that trips the switch. It can simply be switched back on to restore power.

Question #3
A body is moving with uniform speed in a circular path. Which statement is correct?
A. Velocity is constant
B. Acceleration is zero
C. Acceleration is directed towards the center
D. No force acts on the body

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed is constant but velocity direction changes continuously, requiring centripetal acceleration directed toward the center (a = v²/r). By Newton's second law, a centripetal force must act. Velocity isn't constant (direction changes); acceleration isn't zero; force is required. Memory tip: 'Uniform circular motion: constant speed, changing velocity, center-seeking acceleration'. This conceptual question tests understanding of circular dynamics, crucial for mechanics in competitive exams. Always distinguish speed (scalar) from velocity (vector) in motion analysis.
